SAHIH AL BUKHARI Generally regarded as the single most authentic collection of Ahadith, Sahih Al-Bukhari covers almost all aspects of life in providing proper guidance from the messenger of Allah.
This 9-Volume Bukhari is the work of over 16 years by Imam Bukhari who before writing any Hadith in this book performed two Rakat prayer of guidance from Allah and when he was sure of the Hadith’s authenticity, he wrote it in the book. Tremendous amounts of errors exist in the translations by other translators.
To eliminate the problem Dar-us-Salam spent over 3 years in the publication of this book and presented a book which is translated into English in a very easy & simple language, so that all readers can understand it without difficulty. This is the unabridged version consisting of 7563 ahadith (about 4000 pages) which are presented neatly in smaller books format and printed on fine paper.
Each book (subtopics in each volume categorized by very broad topics such as the Book of As-Salat) contains many chapters which represent one logical unit of Ahadith. Each book contains anywhere from one to 150 chapters with each chapter containing several Ahadith. This book will be a great addition to your library while giving you a true perspective on the traditions of the Prophet (PBUH).
In Imam Bukhari’s ‘Al-Jami-al-Sahih’ (Sahih Al Bukhari) the Imam had recorded all the Sayings of the Prophet which he found to be genuine after thorough examination and scrutiny. He spent sixteen years in research and examined more than sixty thousand Sayings from which he selected only sayings whose genuineness and accuracy he established beyond the slightest doubt. Deducting duplicates, the Imam’s collection contain about four thousand distinct Sayings.
English Translation of Sunan An-Nasai 6 Volume Set By Nasiruddin Al-Khattab For the first time ever in English, after years of painstaking efforts at Dar-us-Salam, Sunan An-Nasa'iis now available, complete in 6 volumes! Like the other translations of the six books of hadith, Dar-us-Salam, has taken great care in correct translation, simple and clear modern English language and high quality publishing.
Sunan An-Nasai has the fewest weak ahadith after the two Sahih collections. This Sunan is one of the six is al-Mujtaba or as-Sunan as-Sughara, which is a synopsis of a large collection of ahadith which he considered to be fairly reliable. In the smaller collection, only those ahadith which he considered to be reliable have been included. It was compiled by the great scholar of hadith, Abu Abdur-Rahman Ahmad bin Shu'aib bin Bahr An-Nasai (Nasa' of Khurasan) (214-303AH).
“The Explanation of An-Nawawi’s Hadith” delves into the renowned collection of forty hadith compiled by Imam Yahya ibn Sharaf An-Nawawi. These hadith are considered foundational teachings of Islam, offering profound insights into faith, worship, ethics, and social conduct. Each hadith is meticulously explained to highlight its significance, context, and practical applications in daily life.
The explanations help readers understand the deeper meanings and wisdom behind the Prophet Muhammad’s (peace be upon him) sayings, making them accessible and relevant for contemporary Muslims. This book serves as an essential resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of Islamic teachings and implement them in their lives.

Description
About This Book:Bulugh Al-Maram, meaning “Attainment of the Objective According to Evidence of the Ordinances,” is one of the most renowned collections of Hadith compiled by Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar Al-Asqalani. This seminal work gathers the sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ that form the basis of Islamic jurisprudence.
Meticulously compiled, Bulugh Al-Maram not only presents the Hadith texts and their sources but also offers comparisons where multiple narrations exist. It serves as a key reference for students and scholars of Islamic law, providing direct evidences (adillah) for various rulings (ahkam).
Highly esteemed across generations, those who commit this book to memory are regarded with great respect in scholarly circles. Even accomplished scholars, as Ibn Hajar mentions in his introduction, continue to find it invaluable for study and reference.
This classic collection includes a total of 1,596 Hadiths, offering a comprehensive foundation for understanding Islamic legal principles.
Mishkāt al-Maṣābīḥ is a comprehensive collection of hadiths that covers almost all aspects of Islamic belief, Jurisprudence (fiqh) and virtues. It is taught around the world to students of Hadith, particularly in the madrasahs of the Indian subcontinent, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the USA. Mishkāt al-Maṣābīḥ is often taught as a prelude to al-Kutub as-Sittah (the six books).
A Sufi Study of Hadith (originally titled Haqiqa al-Tariqa min as-Sunna al-ʿAniqa) is a distinctive commentary on a selection of more than three hundred authentic hadith. Authored by Maulana Ashraf ʿAli Thanawi—one of the subcontinent’s foremost spiritual guides and an unparalleled prolific writer—this work presents each hadith through translation, explanation, and commentary from the perspective of tasawwuf.
Whether elucidating a subtle theological point, addressing questions of morality and etiquette, or reflecting on the practices of the Sufi tradition, Thanawi provides profound insight into the Prophetic teachings.
Within these pages, readers encounter an often overlooked dimension of Islam, rich in spiritual depth and refinement. For seekers of truth, and especially those eager to deepen their understanding of the Prophet’s ﷺ teachings in relation to tasawwuf, this volume stands as an invaluable resource.
Islam is founded upon two primary sources: the Qur’an and the Sunnah, the latter preserved for us through the collections of ḥadīth. The Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever learns one ḥadīth of mine should convey it to others.”
It has become clear that many young Muslims today have not memorized even a single ḥadīth. For this reason, I have selected shorter narrations that can be easily learned, memorized, and shared. My hope is that this effort inspires the youth to connect with the words of the Prophet ﷺ and to carry them forward. I pray to Allah that He makes this book a source of light for us on the Day of Judgment.
The importance of hadith as the basis of Islamic law, theology and ethics cannot be underestimated. Alongside the Quran it constitutes the second source for Islamic shariah and ones practice.
While no Muslim will challenge the authority of the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) as many have differing views with regards to ascertaining exactly what the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said and did.
This difference is a consequence of the diverse methodologies employed in establishing the normative practices of the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace). The spectrum of ideas and opinions encompass the entire scope of thought from outright rejection of hadith to a highly literal reading of it.
This translation provides yet another approach to understanding hadith. The translated text is the introduction to a large multi-volume work in Arabic called I'la as-Sunan. The original work was a response to the ahle hadith allegation that the school of Imam Abu Hanifah is deprived of hadith.
In this introduction, the author pens his methodology for writing the I'la as-Sunan. The author endeavours to deconstruct the false understanding that hadith science is absolute and fixed. He argues that since the science of hadith is not prescriptive in the shariah, no one group can lay claim to it or claim a universal understanding of it.
This book will be of interest to students who have a penchant for abstract theories and methods and to the advanced students of hadith and Islamic thoughts.
