AL-HUDA GLOBAL LIMITED Fiqh al-Imam: Author: Shaykh Abdur Rahman Ibn YusufPublisher: White Thread Press Pages: 236 Binding: Papeback Size: 21.6 x 14.1 cmWeight: 360gThe first part of this book seeks to clarify certain aspects of taqlid that have been misunderstood and gravely distorted. It sheds light on the necessity of taqlid, its history, and its role in today’s world. The second part includes several chapters devoted to issues regarding salat [ritual prayer] according to the Hanafi School of law. Through illustrative examples and detailed discussions, the chapters on prayer sufficiently demonstrate the sophisticated legal philosophy employed by the Hanafi School (indeed all the madhhabs) in their derivation of legal rulings from the source texts of Islam. All rulings have been supported with evidentiary proofs from the Quran and Hadith. The author delivers an even-handed presentation of arguments throughout the book. He intends neither to offend nor to perpetuate polemic disputes, but rather to state the facts in a lucid and rational style, with a view to appeal to the reader's sense of reason.  Imam Abu Hanifa's Al-Fiqh al-Akbar Explained: Author: Abu 'l-Muntaha al-MaghnisawiPublisher: White Thread Press Pages: 239 Binding: Hardback Size: 24 x 16 cmWeight: 500g Imam Abu Hanifa's Al-Fiqh al-Akbar Explained by Abu 'l-Muntaha al-Maghnisawi with Selections from 'Ali al-Qaris Commentary, including Abu Hanifa's Kitab al-Wasiyya. Al-Fiqh al-Akbar is one of the earliest texts written on Islamic creed and one of the surviving works of Abu Hanifa, the Great Imam of jurisprudence and theology. Studied for centuries in the Muslim world, Al-Fiqh al-Akbar offers a more nuanced, textured approach to understanding divine oneness (tawhid), the focal point of Islamic belief. It refines one's understanding of the Creator, the messengers and divine communication, and enables one to gain much-needed insight into the realities of this life and the events of the hereafter. Al-Fiqh al-Akbar not only improves one's understanding of 'aqida and deepens one's appreciation of his or her beliefs, but it endeavors to address questions, which, if left unanswered, could leave insidious doubt and cause communal division. Such questions include: Where is Allah? Does Allah evolve? What constitutes true Islamic belief? Are prophets capable of sinning? Is there creation beyond what we see? What comes after death? This translation of Al-Fiqh al-Akbar is an unprecedented contribution to the subject of 'aqida in English. A lucid rendering, unhampered by sterile literalism, it draws on a number of commentaries to unlock a subject that has been largely inaccessible to an English readership. This is due both to the subjects complexity and the lack of reliable works in English. Combining Maghnisawis basic commentary with copious notes carefully selected from 'Ali al-Qaris super-commentary and the entire Kitab al-Wasiyya of Abu Hanifa, this edition promises to be an essential guide on the intellectual and rewarding journey through Islamic creed.

This short treatise on 'Aqida (Islamic theology) written by Imam al-Tahawi though small in size, is a basic text for all times, listing what a Muslim must know and believe. The importance of this text lies in the fact that it corroborates the views of Imam Abu Hanifa the founder of the Hanafi school of jurisprudence, that have come down to us from different sources.  Imam  al-Tahawi summarizes  the views  of the great Imam  and  shows  that  they  were  in  conformity   with  the traditional views of the orthodox school. The doctrines enumerated in this work are entirely derived from the undisputed primary sources of religion, the Qur'an and the confirmed hadith. This text, representative of the viewpoint of Ahl al-Sunna wa'l Jama'a, has long been the most widely acclaimed, and indeed indispensable, reference work on Muslim beliefs. This edition includes a brief and simple commentary by Mawlana Fahim Hoosen. The focus in his commentary is explaining the correct belief of a Muslim while avoiding technical discussions and  intricacies of debate around theological issues.

An enlightening book written by one of the most famous scholars of Islaam on the important subject of servitude. In this book Shaykhul-Islaam defines the concept of worship in Islaam and explains that to be a true “slave of Allaah” is a status of both virtue and nobility. The author proves that the title “slave of Allaah” is one of great honour which Allaah bestowed on the best of creation, Muhammad (peace be on him). While elaborating on the issue of servitude, the author highlights the prevalent traps which people fall into, when becoming enslaved by, or allowing their hearts to become attached to worldly objects. The emphasis is on servitude to Allaah which is adorned with the true love we hold for Him in our hearts - a matter of central importance for every Muslim. Pages: 208

This is the book The Four Principles, which Shaikh Al-Islam Muhammad ibn Abdil-Wahhab has written. Though it is a short treatise, it emulates The Three Fundamental Principles from the point of view that it is necessary for the students of knowledge to grasp it. Shaikhul-Islam Muhammad Ibn Abdil-Wahhab lays out four clear and comprehensive principles regarding Islamic Monotheism, and the explainer; Shaikh Al-Fawzan, elaborates upon them in order to facilitate their easy understanding. Once these four principles are understood, a person may be able to continue upon the path of seeking knowledge of Tawheed — the core foundation of our religion upon which all other actions are built. The scholars of the past and present are unwavering in their commitment to teach Tawhīd with its correct understanding and importance, and in warning from Shirk and its dangers — since without Tawheed, all the other actions and beliefs that a person may have are rendered deficient. As Shaikh Al-Fawzan mentions in the first chapter of this book: “This is a very important matter — rather knowledge of it is more obligatory for you than knowledge of the rulings of Salāh, Zakāh, the other forms of worship and the rest of the matters of the religion, due to the fact that it is the foremost matter and the foundation.

According To The Classical Works Of Shaikhul-Islam ( Ibn Taymiyah ) According the most noble knowledge a man can learn and teach to others is the bases of belief (emaan) and its requirements. The Best precautionary measures he can protect himself with is the knowledge of the characteristics of disbelief (Kufr), its causes and exigencies. If man has insight into these two important things, he will know the way of his happiness and follow it, and avoid the way of his misery. In this book, we hope to elucidate the pillars of emaan and the characteristics of kufr and its causes. Allah is the one who guides us to truth. If we do right, it is only from Allah, the truth.
