Imam Ahmad Rida al-Qaadiri (alaihir rahmah) was a genius writer. He wrote numerous books and treatises in Arabic, Persian, and Urdu on diversified topics.

To date, it has not been fully ascertained as to exactly how many books he wrote, for in doing so, requires research and many personnel. There has risen, over the past years, many Islamic Scholars in the Indo-Pak Sub-Continent  and in other parts of the world, who are making serious attempts in studying or translating the works of this great Mujaddid of Islam.

[The Imam Ahmed Raza Academy here in South Africa is also a leading organisation in this field.]

In 1887, at the age of 30 years, Imam Ahmad Rida al-Qaadiri (alaihir rahmah) had completed 75 books and treatises. In 1909, at the age of 43 years, this number increased up to 500.

HOWEVER, IT HAS BEEN ESTIMATED THAT THE NUMBER OF BOOKS WRITTEN by Imam Ahmad Rida (alaihir rahmah) EXCEED 1 000 ON ORE THAN 50 BRANCHES OF KNOWLEDGE. Apart from these contributions, he had written annotations and commentaries on more than 150 books pertaining to various branches of learning.

This department is involved in the research, translation, publication and distribution of Islamic literature to the public, both locally and internationally. It is spear-headed by Shaykh Abu Muhammad 'Abd al-Haadi al-Qaadiri Radawi. The Shaykh is known for his scholarly research and translation work and has a great service in translating the works of the great Mujaddid in the English language for the Muslim Ummah. His efforts are now recognised and appreciated throughout the Islamic World. To date, more than 1 000 000 literature have been distributed free of charge by the organisation. The organisation also incorporates the Barkaatur-Raza Publications which has thus far to its credit more than 50 highly acclaimed books to educate the public. These books are being sold in order to publish more books.
