FAZA'IL-E-A'MAAL - SEVEN BOOKS OF WISDOM BY Shaikhul Hadith Maulana Muhammad Zakariyya Kaandhlawi

FAZA'IL-E-A'MAAL is a collection of seven books by Shaikhul Hadith Maulana Muhammad Zakariyya Kaandhlawi all of which are a rich source of knowledge and guidance for reverts or those who have not yet reverted but are seeking after the truth.

He lived in India from 1898 to 1982 and is associated with the Deobandi movement. For more information about the movement see my page The Deobandis.

An excellent source of information about him is Wikipedia. The link is Zakariyya Kandhlawi - Wikipedia

Faza'il-e-a'maal is regarded as one of the finest collections of works on Islam, especially for reverts, because they accurately portray the teachings of Islam, drawing on both the Holy Qur'an and the Ahadith.

When quoting from Faza'il-e-a'maal I am relying on an online edition of the text translated by Abdul Rashid Arshad.

The seven books are:

1.     Stories of Sahabah - see my page Stories of the Sahabah.

2.     Virtues of the Holy Qur’an - see my page Virtues of the Holy Qur'an.

3.     Virtues of Salaat

4.     Virtues of Zikr - see my page Dhikr: Remembering Allah.

5.     Virtues of Tabligh

6.     Virtues of Ramadhan

7.     Muslim degeneration and its only remedy
