About Mukhtasar Zad Al Maad

Mukhtasar Zad Al Maad (مختصر زاد المعاد) is an abridgement of Imam Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah’s famous Zad al-Ma’ad fi Hadyi Khayr al-‘Ibad, prepared by Shaykh al-Islam Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab (rahimahullah). This Urdu translation is by Saeed Ahmad Qamar-uz-Zaman an-Nadwi, and the hardbound edition is published by Maktaba Darussalam, Gaw Kadal, Srinagar, Kashmir.

Zad al-Ma’ad, “Provisions for the Hereafter”, is one of the most important books ever written on the guidance (hadyi) of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. The full work runs to several volumes. This abridgement keeps its essential content in one volume, making it far more accessible to the general reader.

What Mukhtasar Zad Al Maad Covers

• The guidance of the Prophet ﷺ in wudu, salah, Jumu’ah, fasting, zakah and Hajj
• His ﷺ way in dhikr, du’a and recitation of the Qur’an
• His ﷺ manners in eating, dress, sleep, travel and dealing with people
• Important events of the Seerah and the lessons drawn from them
• His ﷺ guidance in treating illness (at-tibb an-nabawi)
• Rulings (ahkam) derived from his ﷺ practice

About the Original and the Abridgement

Imam Ibn al-Qayyim (d. 751 AH), the student of Ibn Taymiyyah, wrote Zad al-Ma’ad from memory while travelling, which shows his remarkable knowledge. Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab later summarised it, keeping the core of the Prophet’s ﷺ guidance and the rulings drawn from it. Mukhtasar Zad Al Maad therefore gives the reader the heart of a classic in a manageable size.
