About The Book
This book introduces the Hadith discipline and its development in the early period of Islamic history, up to the production of the six famous anthologies known as the Six Authentic Collections or al-Sihah al-Sittah. It also tackles the role of Hadith in shaping the social climate in Muslim societies.
Thereby it explains the need for Hadith in any Muslim community and the reliability of its sources. As such, it is useful to most readers, including those who are well versed in the discipline. Sayyed Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi shows that without Hadith, no Muslim community can have the sort of social environment that Islam always produces.
About the Contributor(s)
About the author
Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi: A leading Indian Islamic scholar, thinker, writer, and reformer of the twentieth century (1333 to 1420 AH / 1914 to 1999 CE), born in Takia Kalan, Raebareli, and widely known as Ali Miyan. Of the Hasani sayyid lineage, from 1961 until his death he served as rector of Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulama in Lucknow, the seminary whose name he carried. A master of Arabic, Urdu, Persian, and English, he addressed both Muslim and global audiences, calling for moderation, mutual respect among communities, and the renewal of Islamic life. His most influential book, Maza Khasira al-Alam bi-Inhitat al-Muslimin (translated as Islam and the World), traced the rise and decline of Muslims and what their weakness cost the wider world, and it shaped Islamic thought across South Asia and the Arab lands. Among his many writings are Rijal al-Fikr wa-l-Dawa fi-l-Islam (Saviours of Islamic Spirit), a study of the great renewers, biographies of the Prophet, and works on hadith, history, and faith. Hanafi in law, he was associated with the reformist currents of the Indian subcontinent. He was a founding member of the Muslim World League, president of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board, and founding chairman of the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies. His honors include the King Faisal International Prize. Through institutions and foundations bearing his name, his influence continues across the Muslim world.

His translations include Sayyid Qutb's eighteen-volume Qur'anic commentary Fi Zilal al-Qur'an (In the Shade of the Qur'an) and an English rendering of the Qur'an. His other writings range across hadith studies, Qur'anic sciences, and questions of family and society, reflecting a lifelong concern to explain Islam clearly to a modern audience.
