The book has guided thousands

We cannot measure the sincerity with which Fazail Amal was written. It serves as an encyclopedia of knowledge and lessons for a blessed life, creating love and respect for Islamic Sharia. The book works as a bright lamp for those doing Da’wa work. It lights up the path ahead and makes obstacles visible so people can complete their Da’wa journey faster. For scholars, it provides many references for each subject and helps them understand difficult narrations.

It is not an exaggeration to say that thousands of people have attained Wilaayat / Sainthood through this book

History of Fazail Amal

The writing of Fazail Amaal took 35 years, from 1930 to 1965. This long time span happened because Maulana Zakariyya (RA) never planned the entire book at once. He wrote each section at different times based on dying wishes and requests from many respected figures. He wrote with complete Ikhlas (sincerity), never seeking fame or recognition.

The book follows Maulana Zakariyya’s life and struggles from the start of his Da’wa journey. It covers his friendship with Maulana Ilyas, his challenges during the 1947 India-Pakistan conflict, and how his actions saved Muslims in India. The book has guided many people worldwide.

The first book he wrote was Fazail Quran, completed at the beginning of Dhul-Hijjah 1348 AH. Maulana Zakariyya was 32 years old at that time.

Maulana Zakariya died on May 24, 1982, in Madinah al-Munawarah. He was 84 years old. He was buried in ‘Jannatul Baqi,’ the graveyard of the Sahaba. Many saw this as a sign that he was a man of truth, despite criticisms of his work. Maulana Zakariyya spent his entire life serving Deen.

Grave worshipping in Fazail Amal?

Pseudo Salafis claim that Fadhaail-e-A’maal contains baseless stories that harm Islamic beliefs. These claims misunderstand the Islamic tradition of miracles and divine inspiration. The Quran confirms that Allah may inspire non-prophets (like Maryam and possibly Khidr). He may grant limited knowledge of the unseen (as happened with the Prophet and companions) and allow special experiences (Kashf) that have precedents in Islamic history. When properly understood in their theological context, these stories match established Islamic beliefs about the special abilities Allah may grant to His chosen servants.
