Al-Muhaddithat Book Campaign
ASI is launching an exclusive book campaign to enable individuals, researchers and institutions to gain access to Shaykh Akram Nadwi’s world famous Al-Wafa’ bi Asma’ al-Nisa’. The 43-volume compilation of female hadith scholars and narrators is a specialist work in the field of Hadith studies that just begins to scratch the surface when it comes to female scholarly contributions in Islamic studies. Twenty years of research and thousands of muhaddithat later, this unique contribution is finally available and yet understandably difficult to access. This is why ASI is launching a campaign in which Muslims can not only purchase Al-Wafa’ but also donate a copy to a researcher, institution or mosque. This enables the dissemination of the knowledge contained within this truly unique multi-voluminous book.
