Zujajat al-Masabih is the renowned five volume compendium of Hadith literature, authored by Muhaddith-e-Dakkan Abul Hasanat Syed Abdullah Shah Naqshbandi, popularly known as Hadrat Abdullah Shah Sahib, who was one of the most celebrated scholars of Islam from Hyderabad India. The Zujajah was Published from Hyderabad Deccan (India) in the 1960s and was acclaimed by Hanafi scholars throughout the World.

The book is very special in that it modeled exactly on the pattern and structure of Mishkat al-Masabih by Al-Tabrizi but is a treasure of Hanafi Hadith proofs.

The Mishkat has a leaning towards the Shafi'i school of thought while Sayyid Abdullah Shah Naqshbandi composed the Zujajah giving preference to Hanafi proofs.

The book is being translated into Urdu with commentary as Nur-ul-Masabih by scholars of the renowned Jamia Nizamia of Hyderabad and is an ongoing task with the latest published volume being the sixteenth.

Abul Hasanaat Islamic Research Center, which is started by Mufti Syed Ziauddin Naqshbandi Qadri, Naib Shaykh Ul Fiqh, Jamia Nizamia, has a plan of uploading all the works of Hadhrat Muhaddith-e-Deccan on their website Ziaislamic.com. Insha Allah within a short period of time, this great book also will be uploaded.
