The book Muntakhab Ahadith (A collection of Ahadith on the six points), is a selection of authentic Ahadith, relating to the Six Qualities of Dawat and Tabligh. This work was originally done in Arabic by Maulana Muhammad Yusuf Kandhlawi (R.A) during the last phase of his devoted life. He collected all the relevant principles, rules and precautions from their original sources. He has been so comprehensive and extensive that this book is not merely a compilation of these principles, rules and instructions, but perhaps an encyclopedia, in brief, with their relative importance. This masterpiece was later organized and translated into Urdu by his grandson, Maulana Muhammad Saad Kandhlawi.
Now, this Muntakhab Ahadith has been translated by a board of Islamic Scholars, is ready reference to guide the mankind towards the righteousness and enjoining the good and forbidden all evil deeds for the development and construction of an ideal society.
Muhammad Yusuf Kandhlawi (Arabic: مولانا محمد يوسف كاندهلوي ) also known as Hadhratji (1917–1965) was an Islamic religious scholar in pre/post-independence India, who became the second ameer of tablighi jamaat.
He was born to a notable family of scholars and was exposed to an environment of piety at a young age. He memorized the Quran at the age of ten and continued to study Hadith and the Islamic Sciences. He had a deep connection with the scholars of the time, and was recognized as one of the great scholars of the time. After his father, Muhammad Ilyas died, he became the Ameer of Tablighi Jamaat. He spent a lot of time and effort in Tabligh as well as scholarly writings. His two most famous books are: Hayat Al-Sahabah ("The Prophet's Companions' Way of Life") and the four volumes of Amani Al-Ahbar Fi Sharh Ma'ani Al-Athar, which is an annotation of a major work by Imam Ahmad Al-Tahawi. He wrote the books Hayatus Sahabah and Muntakhab Ahadith, founded recently by Muhammad Saad from his book library. Muhammad Yusuf died at the age of 48 in Lahore.
