Hawzah News Agency - Upon cultural cooperation and joint scientific studies between Iran and Japan in 2009, the need to familiarize the people and even the elite of Japanese Islamologists with the two important sources of the Quran and the words of the Prophet (pbuh) and his household was felt. As a result, several books on religious subjects such as Islamic sciences, rules, ethics, virtues, etiquette, etc. emerged, one of which is Forty Hadiths from Imam Reza (AS).

This work was recently translated into Japanese in collaboration with the Astan Quds Razavi’s Office for Foreign Pilgrims Affairs and Al-Mustafa International University. It discusses several themes including the importance of making other people happy, the pinnacle of faith, the worst people, the importance of relatives, the effects of bad traits, step by step to wisdom, solving problems of people, friendship and wisdom, good hope in God, the best person, self-evaluation, humility, anger and satisfaction in relation with others, etc.

It has been translated into Japanese by Tatsuichi Savada, Asiyeh Saber Moqaddam, Seba Yamamura, Maomi Tosa Ka, Shunsuke Ariama, and has been provided to Japanese readers in 1000 copies.

Astan Quds Razavi is the body in charge of Imam Reza (AS) holy shrine in Mashhad, northeast Iran.
