Muhammad Yusuf Kandhlawi was a prominent 20th-century Islamic scholar best known for compiling Hayat al-Sahaba, a widely read collection of accounts about the lives, character, faith, sacrifice, and conduct of the Companions of the Prophet Muhammad. Born in 1917 in India, he came from a family known for Islamic scholarship and was closely associated with the Tablighi Jamaat, later serving as its second amir. His writings emphasize religious devotion, moral discipline, preaching, and examples drawn from early Islamic history. Basharat Book Store lists several volumes of Hayat al-Sahaba under his name, including the first, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth volumes. Kandhlawi died in 1965, while his scholarly and devotional works have continued to circulate widely in many Muslim communities.
