Al-Kawakib al-Durri sharh Jami al-Tirmidhi

Al-Kawakib al-Durri sharh Jami al-Tirmidhi (Urdu: الکوکب الدری شرح جامع الترمذی) is a multi-volume commentary on Sahih al-Tirmidhi, which is based on the teachings of Rashid Ahmad Gangohi. The lessons were originally recorded in Arabic by his student, Yahya Kandhlawi, and later expanded upon with extensive footnotes by Yahya's son, Zakariyya Kandhlawi.[1][2] The initial version, consisting of two volumes, was published in India in 1933 and 1934, while the subsequent version, including additional footnotes by Zakariyya Kandhlawi, was published in four volumes.[3]

Features edit

This book effectively presents the arguments of the Hanafi school on controversial issues, incorporating customary nouns and covering basic, literary, and syntactical rules. It also provides a comprehensive approach to reconciling conflicting hadiths and delves into the objectives of Sharia.[4][5][6]

Reception edit

Hafiz Atif Iqbal, a PhD scholar at the University of Malaya, praised the author's unique approach to interpreting A'Hadith using Fiqh principles, setting it apart from other scholars' interpretations. He commends the author for offering fresh insights while building upon the work of previous scholars, resulting in a comprehensive understanding of religious obligations and commands.[7] Fahmeeda Bibi, a professor at University of Swabi, describes this concise yet comprehensive commentary as one of the most notable works on hadith.[8]

In 2019, Hafiz Ghulam Sarwar completed his PhD thesis titled An Analytical Study of Fiqh al-Hadith in Lami al-Darari and Al-Kawakib al-Durri in Urdu at the Sheikh Zayed Islamic Centre, University of the Punjab.[9]
