REVIEWS:
"Downpour of Blessings is a great service to the English-speaking Muslims. The work offers prophetic insights into every realm of Islam: the theological, legal, ethical, and spiritual. The brilliance of the collection is further displayed in the lucid translation and insightful commentary. The commentary itself, based on classical exegetical insights augmented by contemporary knowledge from myriad sciences, makes the work difficult to put down. This compilation should be in the library of every English-speaking Muslim. It will prove to be a source of great knowledge and guidance for anyone reading it on a regular basis." Imam Zaid Shakir
"Downpour of Blessings fills a lacuna in English hadith literature. It is a must-read for Muslims interested in the rich tradition of hadith commentary. Khalid Baig is to be commended for distilling technical concepts related to hadith in a manner that is both accessible and relatable to all levels of readership." Mufti Muntasir Zaman, Translator of An Introduction to Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī: Author's Biography, Recensions and Manuscripts and Editor of HadithNotes.org Qalam Institute, Arlington, Texas
"In the relatively limited landscape of English hadith collections, largely consisting of highly technical translations that are relatively inaccessible to the average reader, the highly relevant, concise, and yet comprehensive collection of hadith in Khalid Baig's Downpour of Blessings is a much needed addition to the corpus. Like the Maʿārif Ḥadīth that this collection is based upon, this compendious hadith selection, translation, and commentary warrants a place on every bookshelf in the Muslim, English-speaking world." Shaykh Bilal Ali Ansari, Department of Hadith, Darul Qasim, Chicago, Illinois
