WHOLESALE | Siyar A'lam al-Nubala 30 Volumes

Siyar A'lam al-Nubala is the monumental biographical work of the renowned hadith scholar and historian Imam Shams al-Din al-Dhahabi (رحمه الله), and is regarded as one of the most important classical works of Islamic biography and history.

In this extensive collection, Imam al-Dhahabi records the lives of thousands of prominent figures from Islamic history, including Companions, Tabi'in, hadith scholars, jurists, Qur'an reciters, rulers, historians and other notable personalities. The biographies contain valuable information concerning their lives, scholarship, teachers, students, character and contributions to the Islamic sciences.

The work is particularly valued because al-Dhahabi combines historical biography with scholarly assessment, frequently discussing narrators, their reliability and their standing amongst the scholars. It therefore serves as an important reference not only for Islamic history but also for students and researchers of Hadith and the biographies of the scholars.

This impressive 30-volume hardcover set, containing over 18,000 pages and weighing approximately 33 kg, is an excellent reference collection for serious students of knowledge, scholars, Islamic libraries, masajid, institutes and universities.
