Description :


'Sunnah : The Way of Qur'anic Life' is basically the English translation with explanatory notes of the renowned Ahadith compilation known as Mishkat al Masabih of Imam Muhammad Khalid al-Tabrizi.


The Mishkat has enjoyed wide popularity in the world of Islamic learning since 516AH when it was first compiled by Imam Wali'ud-Din Abu Abd'Allah Mahmud al-Tabrizi, may Allah be leased with him.


Mishkat al-Masabih which means 'A Niche for Lamps' is an expanded version of  Masabih al-Sunnah by Abu Muammad ibn Abdullah Khatib Al-Tabrizi (d. 741H) who was known as Muhyi As-Sunnah (Reviver of the Sunnah). Al-Tabrizi added to it the chains of transmission, the narrators and the authenticity of the hadith. Thus making it  more beneficial to those not having an advanced knowledge of the science of hadith.


The Collection is divided into twenty-nine books (kutub) and each book is divided into several chapters (abwab). Thereafter each chapter is further divided into three sections (fasl).

The Mishkat has enjoyed wide popularity in the world of Islamic learning Since 516 AH when it was first compiled by  Al-Tabrizi. Most of the Hadith are from the Sahih Sitta. (the six Authentic Hadith Books).


Imam Wali' ud-Din 'Abu Abd'Allah Mahmud al-Tabrizi, may Allah have nercy upon him, was a renowned muhaddith (scholar of hadith) of his time. He was well-versed in the intricacies of the Arabic language and rhetorics. It is unfortunate, however, that not much is known about his life. Al-Tabrizi is to be commended for successfully improving upon Imam al-Baghawi's Masabih al-Sunnah.
