Publisher's Synopsis
Since the invention of pen and paper, four books have been studied and analyzed more than all others: the Torah, the Gospel, the Qur'an, and Sahih Al-Bukhari. While there have been numerous translations of the first three, there has never been a complete translation of Sahih Al-Bukhari-due to its immense size and utter complexity-until now. After more than twenty years of continuous research, translation, and review by multiple layers of linguists, the Arabic Virtual Translation Center is pleased to announce the publication of the final edition of the first-ever complete English translation of Sahih Al-Bukhari with full sanad and commentary. This is a full and accurate translation of Sahih Al-Bukhari from cover to cover with the addition of an introduction, explanatory notes, a glossary of every term, and biographies of all characters. Virtually all books about Islam, from those taught in kindergarten to the ones lectured at Azhar University, are interpretations of Sahih Al-Bukhari since it is the biggest collection and most authentic book of hadith. It lays the foundation of Islam and encompasses all the sharia laws. It details the building blocks of the religion and those who constructed them from the Prophet to the Sahabah to the Tabi`un and everyone who influenced them. It is a well-organized labyrinth of Islamic history that describes every precept and explains it thoroughly. The entire encyclopedia is in full color. It is only once in a generation that a must-read encyclopedia of this magnitude comes to life and all of us can benefit from it. Benefit from it in this life and the life to come.
