First: I have mentioned only those virtues of life which are confirmed by the Qur'an and Hadith, whether it is Sahih or Hasan.
It is known that the scholars differ in labeling the Hadith with Sahih, Hasan or Da'if, as their methods of examining the chains of transmission are different from each other. Therefore, you may find a hadith which is Hasan according to one scholar while the other one has labeled it with Da'if. There is nothing wrong in it, because the difference between the scholars regarding the ruling on a Hadith is a well-known issue. The important thing to us is that a scholar that labels the Hadith with Sahih, Hasan or Da'if should be considered reliable in the field of Hadith transmission.
Second: I have divided the assets into a few major chapters, such as 1- Nearness to Allah, 2- Removal of disliked things, and 3- achieving the purpose respectively. For the first purpose of a Muslim is to get closer to Almighty Allah, then he wants to purify himself from disliked things, and this precedes the purpose of achieving the purpose. Also there are many sections in every chapter.
Third: In every section, I have arranged the assets of life according to their virtues, so that if you
cannot practice them all, start sequentially in order to achieve the greatest virtue.
Fourth: I have made a circle next to each asset in order to mark it after acting upon it.
Fifth: I have mentioned the asset, its excellence, and its arguments in each section separately.
Sixth: I have written the assets with black color, its excellence with green which is the color of the clothes of the people of Paradise, its arguments with blue which is the color of the ocean, and highlighted the witness in it with red color.
Seventh: The reference to the Hadith has been briefly mentioned in such away that the Hadith number has been quoted from its original source. Hadiths have been taken from two Sahihs and four Sunnahs, etc. and in validation of Hadith, it is relied upon the scholars of hadith, specially Ahmad Shakir, Albani, Shoaib Al-Arnaut (RH), etc.
Eighth: I have also explained the difficult and complicated words wherever needed.
Perhaps it is the grace of Almighty Allah that the total number of all these “Assets of Life” (virtues of the deeds) is 360, which is about the number of days in a year. So, if a Muslim practices even one asset every
day, then by the end of the year he will have practiced so many assets which a poor one cannot even in his whole life. The successful is the one whom Allah blesses with his success.
I ask Almighty Allah to make this book useful for whoever reads it, listens to it or transmits it to others and acts upon it. I trust in Almighty Allah and entrust all my affairs to Him, He is my support, there is no might and no power except by Allah, the Almighty, All-Wise.
