"There is a
voluminous literature in Islam called faḍā'il or manaqib ("virtues" or
"excellences") that praises the merits of reciting the Qur'an, of the
Companions of the Prophet, the performance of religious duties such as
hajj and jihad, and of sacred cities such as Makka, Madina, and
Jerusalem. Initially, faḍā'il traditions were part of hadlth
compilations. Several of the sub-categories, such as faḍā'il al-sahāba
and faḍā'il al-buldān, have been studied in some depth; but
the faḍā'il al-Qur'an literature has not received similar attention" (Afsaruddin,
2002:1).
