Hikayatain aur Hidayatain | حکایتیں اور ہدایتیں

Hikayatain aur Hidayatain is a remarkable collection of moral stories and spiritual reflections compiled from the works and lectures of Shaheed Ayatollah Murtaza Mutahhari, one of the most influential Muslim thinkers of the 20th century. In this book, Mutahhari uses short narratives, historical events, parables, and real-life examples to explain deep ethical, social, and spiritual truths.

Through simple yet powerful stories, the author invites the reader to reflect on human behavior, the purpose of life, and the path to moral refinement. Each hikayat (story) is followed by profound hidayat (guidance), showing how Islamic wisdom can be applied to personal growth, social responsibility, and strengthening one’s relationship with God.

Mutahhari highlights timeless themes such as sincerity, justice, humility, courage, self-purification, and the inner struggles of the human soul. His approach makes complex philosophical and ethical ideas understandable for readers of all ages, while still offering deep insights for scholars and spiritual seekers.

At its heart, Hikayatain aur Hidayatain is a guidebook of wisdom—designed to awaken the conscience, inspire noble character, and bring the reader closer to the moral ideals of Islam as taught by the Qur’an, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), and the Ahl al-Bayt (AS).
