Biḥār al-Anwār (meaning "Seas of Lights") is a comprehensive collection of hadith (traditions) compiled by the prominent Shi'a scholar By ʿAllāmah Muhammad Bāqir Majlisī (1627–1699 CE). It is one of the most important encyclopedias of Shi'a Islamic teachings, covering topics such as theology, history, ethics, and commentary on the Qur'an. The compilation consists of narrations from the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), the Imams from the Ahl al-Bayt (AS), and various other sources, aiming to preserve and organize Shi'a knowledge.
The complete work spans 110 volumes in the Arabic original. However, only a limited number of volumes have been translated into English so far.
