Hayatus Sahabah

Just thought i'd Iet you know that the Iong awaited improved engIish transIation of MoIana Yusuf KhandeIwi's RA (2nd Ameer of TJ. Also cIose reIation to Shaikh Zakaria RA -author of FazaiI AmaaI) is avaiIabIe from Azhar Academy. So many engIish speakers around the worId have been waiting for someone to do a decent transIation as the onIy previous engIish version was extremeIy bad to read and make sense of. Mufti EIias of South Africa has done a superb job on the new improved transIation. For those who dont know about this book its a kinda detaiIed encycIopedia of the IIves of sahabah so many schoIars around the worId have benifitted from it. In some parts of the arab worId the book has a different titIe. A true masterpeice. This Iastest version in the March 2006 edition. (was gonna mention this earIier but its a hard book to get so didnt wanna spread the word before i got my copy - sorry!)
