Agreed upon by al-Bukhārī and Muslim. Every narrator is trustworthy and each heard from the one before.
The checker is in development. Gradings shown summarise classical hadith scholars; they are not a ruling by Ahl-e-Qalam.
Iqbal, first.
All ten books of Allama Iqbal, Urdu and Persian. Pick one and start reading.
خودی کو کر بلند اتنا کہ ہر تقدیر سے پہلےخدا بندے سے خود پوچھے بتا تیری رضا کیا ہےRaise your selfhood so high that before every decree, God Himself asks His servant: “Tell me, what is it you wish?”

Sources before speed.
Nothing is shown without where it comes from.
امانتamanat · the trust
The text is a trust.
Originals stay whole; meaning sits beside them.
صدقsidq · truthfulness
Say what is true.
If something isn't ready, we say so.
Questions, answered.
What is Ahl-e-Qalam?
Ahl-e-Qalam (اہلِ قلم, “people of the pen”) is a home for Islamic software and digital editions of classic books. Its first rooms are a library of Allama Iqbal's complete works, open now, and a hadith authenticity checker in development.
Is the hadith authenticity checker available yet?
Not yet. It is in development. The preview on this page is an illustrative example of how a report will read: the source collections, the chain of narrators, and the grading scholars have given.
Will the checker issue its own fatwas or rulings?
No. It is built to report scholarship — where a narration is found and how hadith scholars have graded it — so you can see the evidence rather than take our word for it.
What can I read in the library?
The complete poetry of Allama Muhammad Iqbal — all ten of his Urdu and Persian books, 1,265 poems with English translations and Urdu notes — and the complete Urdu Kulliyat of Mirza Ghalib: the Divan and four appendices, with the editors' notes on variant readings — and growing selections of twenty classical Urdu poets, among them Mir Taqi Mir, Dagh Dehlvi, Akbar Allahabadi, Mir Anis, Hali, Zauq, Momin and Bahadur Shah Zafar, their ghazals arranged by radeef. Every couplet has its own page. Other classics of the Islamic and Urdu tradition will follow.
How can I contact Ahl-e-Qalam?
