The Fada'il series comprises a collection of nine treatises authored by Zakariyya Kandhlawi between the years 1930 and 1965, elucidating the virtues associated with various deeds. The majority of these treatises were composed at the behest of Ilyas Kandhlawi, the founder of Tablighi Jamaat.[1][2] Their primary purpose was to serve the propagation efforts of Tablighi Jamaat, while also being perused by individuals engaged in their daily circles of education. This series stands as the most widely circulated of Urdu publications, owing largely to its integration within the literature of Tablighi Jamaat and its subsequent translation into numerous languages.[2] Subsequently, the majority of the collective treatises were published under the title Fazail-e-Amaal. The nine treatises encompassed within this series are as follows: (1) The Story of the Companions, (2) Virtues of the Quran, (3) Virtues of Prayer, (4) Virtues of Remembrance (Dhikr), (5) Virtues of Propagation, (6) Virtues of Ramadan, (7) Virtues of Hajj, (8) Virtues of Charity, and (9) Virtues of Sending Blessings upon the Prophet. Abul Hasan Ali Hasani Nadwi said no other literary series has exerted a more profound reformative influence upon the nation[which?] than Zakariyya Kandhlawi's Virtues Books.[3]
