Islamic Books


The six major Hadith collections (Arabic: "Al-Sihah al-Sittah") are the works of some individuals from Islamic scholars who by their own initiative started collecting sayings that people attributed to Muhammad approximately 200 years after his death.

Sunni Muslims view the Six major Hadith collections as their most important. They are, in order of importance
  1. Sahih Bukhari, collected by al-Bukhari (d. 870), included 7275 hadiths
  2. Sahih Muslim, collected by Muslim b. al-Hajjaj (d. 875), included 9200
  3. Sunan al-Sughra, collected by al-Nasa'i (d. 915)
  4. Sunan Abi Da'ud, collected by Abu Da'ud (d. 888)
  5. Sunan al-Tirmidhi, collected by al-Tirmidhi (d. 892)  6. This one is disputed. Sometimes its referred to Al-Muwatta, collected by Imam Malik (d. 796) and sometimes it is referred to Sunan Ibn Maja, collected by Ibn Maja (d. 886). Some people even consider Sunan al-Darami to be the sixth one [citation needed]. The two first are referred to as the Two Sahihs.
Shia’s have their own collections and reject the claims of authenticity that Sunni attribute to the six collections. The Four Books (Arabic Al-Kutub Al-Arb'ah) is a Shi'a term referring to their four best known Hadith collections.

The books are:

  1.    Usul al-Kafi of Kulayni
  2.    Man la Yahdhuruhu' l-Faqih of Saduq
  3.    Tahdhibu 'l-Ahkam by Abu Ja'far al-Tusi
  4.    Al-Istibsar by Abu Ja'far al-Tusi

Eid-ul-Adha

Eid is a special occasions and one of the things which makes it so is the Eid-ul-Adha congregational prayer. Eid prayer consists of two units (Rakat in Arabic, singular is Raka). The main difference in the way this prayer and any other prayer of two Rakat is performed is the number of Takbirs that are done. मौलाना  मौसूफ़ ने अपनी तक़रीर में हजरत अली (अ.स) की एक हदीस इरशाद फरमाई के " उस वक़्त से डरो जब तुम्हारी हर दुआ कबूल होने लगे" ..... और इसकी तफसीर बयान की और उन्होंने कहा कोई शख्स ऐसा नहीं है के जिस से अल्लाह ने सब  कुछ ले लिया हो या सब कुछ  जिसने अल्लाह को दे दिया हो ( मिसाल के तौर पर अपने जान या नींद ) लेकिन जब अल्लाह किसी से मांगे या मुतालबा करे तो हमें चाहिए के हम उसकी इत'अत करे जैसा के शबे हिजरत हजरत अली (अ.स) ने अपनी जान की परवा न करते हुवे बिस्तरे रसूल (स.अ.व.) पर सो गये और हजरत इब्राहीम (अ.स) ने अपनी बेटे की क़ुरबानी पेश की!.    आज काल हमारे यहाँ यह डे वो डे कैंसर की तरह फैल  रहा है जैसे फ्रेंडशिप डे, वलेंतैने डे. हमारा कोई भी तयूहार एन्जॉय का नहीं होता है बलक
