Zujajat al-Masabih

Zujajat al-Masabih (English: Lanterns glass)[1] is a compendium of Hadith that supports the Sunni Hanafi school of thought in Islam. The book is compiled into five volumes and contains a total of 6634 Ahadith. Authored by Hazrat Abdullah Shah Naqshbandi Alaihirrahmah (an Islamic scholar from Hyderabad, India),[2] the Zujajat was first published in 1960.

The book is modeled on the pattern and structure of Mishkat al-Masabih by Al-Tabrizi. The Mishkat has a leaning towards the Shafi'i school of thought while Naqshbandi composed the Zujajat giving preference to Hanafi proofs. The five volumes have a total of 6634 Hadith.

The book has been translated into Urdu with commentary by Maulana Mohammed Muneeruddin, former Khateeb of Makkah Masjid and Mohammed Abdus Sattar Khan Naqshbandi, former Head of Arabic Department, Osmania University, Hyderabad, India. Later, the scholars of Jamia Nizamia took up the work of translation.
