{"title":"Jamaal Al-Din M. Zarabozo","description":"\u003cp\u003eJamaal al-Din M. Zarabozo is a contemporary American Muslim author, teacher, and translator, and one of the more widely read English-language writers on hadith, creed, and the purification of the soul. After embracing Islam he devoted himself to studying the Islamic sciences with a particular focus on hadith and its methodology, dedicating his work to conveying the teachings of the Qur'an and Sunnah to English-speaking Muslims upon the understanding of the pious predecessors. He is perhaps best known for his multi-volume \u003cem\u003eCommentary on the Forty Hadith of al-Nawawi\u003c\/em\u003e, a detailed exposition drawing widely on classical scholarship, as well as works such as \u003cem\u003ePurification of the Soul\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eHuman Rights in Islam\u003c\/em\u003e. His writing is marked by careful referencing, an emphasis on authentic narrations, and a concern to address the realities faced by Muslims living in the West. Through his books, lectures, and translations he has made a significant contribution to English Islamic literature grounded in the methodology of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"commentary-on-the-forty-hadith-of-al-nawawi-2-vols-by-jamaal-al-din-m-zarabozo","title":"Commentary On The Forty Hadith of Al-Nawawi 2 Vols.
