After the establishment of the Tablighi Jamaat, Ashraf Ali Thanwi used to provide certain books as part of the Tabligh curriculum. A single-volume version was published in 1958, and it also became famous under the name Fazail-e-Amaal. It is the most popular ongoing publication of Urdu literature in the present era and is extensively read due to its inclusion in the literature of the Tablighi Jamaat.

In the 1940s, Abdul Majid, the editor of the magazine Nedaye Islam, made the first translation of the Virtues of Prayer from the Fada'il series and another book, both of which were published in Calcutta. Surprisingly, the Deobandis have neither openly disavowed these books nor issued warnings about their content, allowing their printing and sale to continue unchecked. In approximately 1955, a collection of these works was published in two volumes under the title Tablighi Nisab. Kutub Khana Faydi published the third revised English edition of the book in 1985 as Faza`il A`maal.Following this, the Fada'il series translation was published by the Ashrafia Library of Dhaka, with the majority of the books translated by Muhibur Rahman Ahmad Jalalabadi.

Some editions of Faza'il-e-A'mal do not contain Zakariya's Virtues of Durood (1965) because it is the last treatise of the Fada'il series, which was published after the publication of the main Tablighi Nisab. Finally, in 2001, Muhammad Obaidullah obtained permission from the leaders of Tablighi Jamaat Bangladesh to translate the entire work, which was then published by Darul Kitab. Aminul Islam, the khatib of Lalbagh Fort Mosque, translated the Virtues of Durood and The Story of the Companions.Consequently, these books have become widely available in the markets of India, Pakistan, and elsewhere.

Unfortunately, the latter book is known for its abundance of myths and weak narrations (da'if hadiths). Sometimes, the text of the hadith is mentioned in Arabic or Urdu, but the rulings associated with the degree of authenticity of the hadith are not mentioned.
