Milad Nama
The Chronicles of the Prophet’s Birth
by Syed Abdullah Shah Naqshbandi Qadri
translated by Syed Mohiuddin Qadri
Milad Nama serves as a vital resource for understanding the cultural and theological dimensions of Mawlid in South Asia. Sheikh Syed Abdullah Shah’s engagement with classical sources, coupled with his profound understanding of Sufi principles, underscores the significance of Mawlid as an act of devotion deeply rooted in Islamic orthodoxy. This text is a testament to the role of love for the Prophet as the cornerstone of Islamic spirituality, a theme that has resonated throughout the centuries among the followers of the prophetic tradition and the consensus (Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama’ah).
Zujajah al-Masabih
The Glass Lanterns
by Syed Abdullah Shah Naqshbandi Qadri
translated by Syed Mohiuddin Qadri
A Hadith Encyclopedia for Hanafi Jurisprudence Authored by the eminent scholar of Hadith, Syed Abdullah Shah Naqshbandi Qadri, The Glass of Lanterns is a monumental five-volume compendium of Prophetic traditions. Modeled after the renowned Mishkat al-Masabih, this work systematically presents and organizes a vast collection of hadiths. However, it distinguishes itself by specifically focusing on the hadiths that form the foundational evidence for the Hanafi school of jurisprudence. The author's meticulous research provides a critical and comprehensive resource for scholars, students, and practitioners of the Hanafi madhhab. First published in 1384 AH (1964 CE) and rigorously authenticated by Abu Sahl Muhammad Sa'd Shaykh Rahmatullah, this edition represents the first complete and verified version of this essential work. The Glass of Lamps is not merely a collection of narrations; it is a scholarly encyclopedia that guides the reader through the intricate relationship between Hadith and Hanafi legal principles, making it an indispensable reference for anyone delving into the rich heritage of Islamic law.
