This is a simple translation from the historical treatise and masterpiece of the Great Imam of his age, The Leader of the Hadith Scholars, the noble Shaykh Abd ‘al-Haq Muhadith Dehlwi (may Allah sanctify his secret) entitled, “Jazbul Quloob ila Diyarul Mehboob” The great Shaykh was born in the month of Muharram 958 hijri (1551 CE). He lived for over 90 years and returned to the hereafter in 1052 hijri (1642 CE). Heralded widely to be from amongst the most notable and accomplished scholars of Islam, he authored over 40 works on the sacred knowledge, which included the commentaries on hadith, fiqh, exegesis of the Qurânic sciences, tassawuf, history, the great seerah on the Beloved Prophet (of Allah the Exalted) j and many others. Shaykh Abd ‘al-Haq took his transmission of hadith from the great scholar Shaykh Abd ‘al-Wahab Al Muttaqi, the sudent of Imâm Ali Al Muttaqi and Imâm Ali Al Qari (may Allah sanctify their secrets) and rose head and shoulders above all and was unanimously considered by his esteemed contemporaries to be the final authority on the matters of the faith in the sub continent.
