Ma'ariful Hadith [Complete Set in 2 Volumes]

Ma'ariful Hadith spread in 4 volumes is a collection of hadiths on all topics of religion. These are explained in lucid language by Mawlana Muhammad Manzur Nu'mani.

Beginning with the hadith about the 'importance of intention in performance of deeds' the book takes us through hadiths on faith on the duties in Islam and ends up with hadiths on supplication.

In explaining the hadiths the author has relied upon the great hadith scholar Shah Wali Allah Dehlawi for the final word.

The hadiths are chosen mainly from Mishkat Al-Masabih but some directly from the main books of hadith.

The author the late Mawlana Manzur Nu'mani is a very well known Hadith Scholar in the Indian Sub-Continent. He had been particularly active in the field of explaining the teachings and approach of the established religious schools to the general public and particularly to the secular-educated public. His books are very widely read.

He was a very active teacher and lecturer and has written many books booklet and magazine articles. Some of his best known works are Ma'ariful Hadith (a very lucid and comprehensive 4-Volume introduction to the Hadith for the general reader) Islam kiyaa hai? and Khomeini and the Iranian revolution (a well researched exposition of the origin and the open and hidden doctrines of the Ithna 'Asharia Shi'as.)

He also established the journal Al-Furqan now under the editorship of his son Mawlana Khalilur Rahman Sajjad Nu'mani.

About The Authour

Muḥammad Manz̤oor Nomānī (Urdu: محمد منظور نعمانی‎; c. was born on 15 December 1905 (18 Shawwal 1323 AH) in Sambhal, United Provinces, British India. His father, Sufi Muhammad Husain, was a moderately wealthy businessman and landlord. Nomani received his primary education in his hometown, graduating from Madrasa Sirajul Uloom Hilali Sarai Sambhal and later went onto study at Darul Uloom Mau.

Nomani studied for two years at Darul Uloom Deoband and graduated in 1927. He had studied hadith under the eminent Anwar Shah Kashmiri. After completing his studies he taught for three years at Madrasa Chilla, Amroha.

In 1934 (1353 AH) he established a monthly journal, al-Furqan, from Bareilly. The journal began with a focus towards polemics, but in 1942 (1361 AH) it became more of an academic and religious journal.

He held the post of Shaykh al-Hadith at Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulama for four years, and was a close associate of Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi. Muhammad was a founding member of Jamaat-e-Islami in 1941. At its Founding Session in August 1941 he led the seven-member committee that proposed Sayyid Abul A'la Maududi as Amir. He was later elected as the group's Deputy Amir, second to Abul A'la Maududi. However, in 1942, following disagreements with Maududi he led a group in resigning from the organization and returned home to Sambhal. Detailing his time with Maududi and the reasons for his departure from Jamaat-i Islami he wrote Maulana Maududi ke sath meri rifaqat ki sarguzasht aur ab mera mauqif (1980).

After leaving Jamaat-e-Islami, he and Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi became affiliated with the Tablighi Jamaat movement of Muhammad Ilyas Kandhlawi. Nomani's compilation of the malfuzat (sayings) of Muhammad Ilyas comes from the period of 1943 to 1944, mostly during Ilyas's final illness.

In 1943 (1362 AH) he was appointed a member of the Majlis-e-Shura of Darul Uloom Deoband. He regularly attended its meetings and those of the Majlis-e-Amilah (Executive Council) and was a member of the Muslim World League.

He died in Lucknow on 4 May 1997 and is buried in Aishbagh

Prominent among his written works are Maariful Hadith, Islam Kya Hai?, and Khomeini and the Iranian Revolution.
