Author
Shah Wali Allah was born in northern India in 1703 in a learned family descended from the Prophet Muhammad (SAW). As a young man, he studied the major hadith collections with his father, and then travelled to the Hijaz where he continued his studies with various eminent teachers, including Shaykh Abu Tahir Al-Kurdi al-Madani through whom he transmits the hadiths in this collection.
Shah Wali Allah composed some 50 works in total, including the Hujjat Allah Al-Baligha - The Conclusive Argument from God, which is considered his prime achievement, and an early Persian translation of the Qur’an, as well as a number of works treating Islamic legal methodologies and Sufi metaphysics.
