Fazail e Sheikhain (Virtues of the Two Sheikhs)
Fazail e Sheikhain is an Urdu translation of two classical works by Imam Jalaluddin al-Suyuti رحمه الله, focusing on the virtues of the first two rightly guided caliphs of Islam. The original Arabic treatises are Al-Rawd al-Aniq fi Fadl al-Siddiq (on the merits of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq رضي الله عنه) and Al-Ghurar fi Fada’il Umar (on the merits of Sayyiduna Umar ibn al-Khattab رضي الله عنه).

The Urdu translation has been completed by Maulana Abu Zia Muhammad Farhan Qadri, who has also added scholarly references and research notes (takhrij and tahqiq), making it a valuable academic contribution. The translator’s effort enhances the accessibility of Imam al-Suyuti’s classical scholarship for Urdu readers.
The book highlights the virtues, character, leadership qualities, and services of the first caliph, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq رضي الله عنه, and the second caliph, Sayyiduna Umar ibn al-Khattab رضي الله عنه. Through authentic narrations and historical reports, it presents their status in Islam and their role in strengthening the early Muslim community.
Mufti Muneeb ur Rehman, in his remarks dated 8 October 2006, appreciated the effort of the translator and prayed for its acceptance. He expressed hope that this scholarly work would be a source of reward for the translator, his parents, and teachers, and that it would benefit the Muslim community at large.
Overall, Fazail e Sheikhain serves as a concise yet informative study of the merits of the first two Khulafa-e-Rashideen, based on the classical scholarship of Imam Jalaluddin al-Suyuti, now made accessible to Urdu readers with added research and authentication.
