About the author

Muhammad هbn Ismaa'eel ibn Ibraaheem ibn al-Mugheerah ibn Bardizbah al-Bukhaaree
popularly known as al-Bukhaaree or Imaam al-Bukhaaree, was a Sunni Islamic scholar of Greater Khorasan. He is the author of the collection of hadeeths which Muslims regard as the most authentic of all Hadeeth compilations, Al-Jaami'-us-Saheeh . Most Sunni scholars consider it second only to the Qur’an in terms of authenticity. The Arabic word saheeh translates as authentic or correct.

Imaam al-Bukhaaree was born in 810 A.D. / 196 A.H. in Bukhara, Uzbekistan. His father, Ismail Ibn Ibrahim, was a known hadith scholar who died while he was still an infant and he was hence raised by his mother. Imam Bukhari began studying hadith, memorising works of Abdullah ibn al-Mubaarak while still a child.

At age of sixteen, Imam Bukhari made the pilgrimage to Mecca, beginning a series of travels in order to increase his knowledge of hadith. He went through all the important centres of Islamic learning of his time, talked to scholars and exchanged information on hadith. It is said that he heard from over 1,000 men, and learned over 600,000 traditions.

After sixteen years’ absence he returned to Bukhara, and drew up his al-Jami’ as-Sahih, a collection of 7,275 tested traditions, arranged in chapters so as to afford bases for a complete system of jurisprudence. Imam Bukhari finished his work around 846 A.D., and spent the last twenty-four years of his life visiting other cities and scholars, teaching the hadith he had collected. In every city that he visited, thousands of people would gather in the main mosque to listen to him recite traditions. Imam Bukhari died in a village near
Samarkand in the year 870/256.

The Sahih Al-Bukhari book covers almost all aspects of life in providing proper guidance of Islam such as the method of performing prayers and other actions of worship directly from Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

Hadiths are a practical example of the implementation of Quranic guidance and are essential supplements to the teachings of the Quran. Neither the Quran nor the Sunnah can be understood correctly without the other. They have been meticulously compiled by individuals with exceptional memory skills and analytical expertise like Imam Bukhari, who travelled tirelessly to collect thousands of narrations and distinguish the true words of prophetic wisdom. Muslims during the time of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)
and generations that followed and generations to come are blessed to have these pearls of wisdom to guide us in a righteous, Islamic way of life leading to Al-Firdaus.

Book of interpretation of the Holy Qur'an.

Surah Muddathir was the first chapter revealed by Jibra-eel (A.S) in his real form. The Prophet (S.A.W) saw him and fell unconscious. The first verses revealed were from Alaq (the Clot)

This book mentions the superiority of surah Ikhlas, Fatiha and of surah Kahf, Yasin and the last two verses of surah Baqarah (the Cow)

Details the verses of fasting, sexual relations with wives, spending in the cause of Allah, divorce, the obligatory prayers, the laws of inheritance, the glimpses of the hereafter, punishment for killing believers intentionally, the veiling of women and guarding of chastity. Punishment for those spreading slander and the accusations of adultery on wives and their refuting it.

The creation of the heavens and earth. Time and significance. Brief history of all the prophets. The oneness and absolute authority of Allah, the creation of man.

Also mentions how divine inspiration was revealed - in the language of the Quraish. The collection and scribe of the prophet, (all Ansari), the Qur'an is the inheritance of the prophet. It is to be recited in a pleasant tone and revised as not to be forgotten, the Qur'an should not be completely recited in a period less than seven days and never for showing off purposes.
