Authentic Islamic books to read and practice on

Q:

1. Can you please list a few authentic Hadeeth Shareef books?

2. Other than Bahishti Zewar and Hayatul Muslimeen, can you name a few authentic books for reading? I have a lot of free time, and I want to fill my head with a little Islamic knowledge.

A:

1. What level of knowledge do you have and have you studied before? If you have not studied under the supervision of any qualified ustaad then study the Fazaa'il-e-A`maal, Fazaa'il-e-Sadaqaat, Fazaa'il-e-Durood, Bahisti Zewar and Seeratul Mustafa.

2. Study the above mentioned books. They should not be merely read. Rather, understand the contents, digest them and let it be a daily practice.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
