Introduction to 1st English edition
Ahle hadeeth movement is the oldest and unadulterated movement among all Islamic movements of the world. To bring the people of the world under the essence of the holy Quran and Saheeh Hadeeth, the puritan movement which has been continued from the age of the honoured Sahabis is called Ahle hadeeth movement. The aim of this movement is to gain the satisfaction of almighty Allah. It's foundation is only the holy Quran and saheeh Sunnah. Since the 1st publication in July 1979, this book has been rendering a very important role in promoting Ahle hadeeth movement in Bangladesh. The honourable Author has put tremendous effort to do an almost impossible task of consisting a difficult and vast subject in this short book and to hand it over towards the people in lucid and simple language. Later on, in 1992, he has earned the creditable degree of Ph.D. from the University of Rajshahi on his thesis entitled with Ahle hadeeth movement: its origin and development; with reference to the south Asian region written in language of Bangla. Full of sources, replete with research materials, this valuable thesis has been published as a particular book (pages 538) by ‘Hadeeth Foundation Bangladesh’ in 1996. Falillahil Hamd (all praises for Allah).
The 4th edition of this book at 2002 A.D. was translated first in 2004 A. D. by Sohrabuddin Ahmad, Assoc. Prof. (Rtd) Dept. of Islamic History & Culture, University of Rajshahi by the direct instruction of the Author, which had not been published. Then after a long time after thorough revision by the learned Author this 1st english translation of 4th Bangla edition is published by the grace of Allah almighty. It is to note that this is the 2nd English publication of H. F. B. after the 1st publication of the renowned book of the Author ‘Salatur Rasool (sm)’.
We shall consider our efforts successful if the book can create a clear insight about Ahle hadeeth movement and if the necessity of Ahle hadeeth movement is deeply felt among the readers. Oh Allah! Give us Tawfeeq (strength) so that we can lead our entire life in the light of the holy Quran and saheeh Hadeeth. Ameen!
May Allah bless the Author and his descendants and forgive his deceased parents and accept this book as means of salvation for us all in the life hereafter. Ameen!!
