In this book, Hafiz Ibn Hajar Asqalani has recorded the true significance of almost each Hadith, thus making it more valuable and useful in many respects. He has also mentioned the origins of the Ahadith and made a comparison of the versions in case the source are more than one.
One more distinctive feature, along with others, is that the versions have also been shortened to present just the main purpose of the Hadith according to its classification under the chapter. Because of these preferential qualities, Bulugh Al-Maram has been accepted widely and is among the most sought after books of Ahadith.

Allah commands us to worship and obey Him with sincerity, reverence, love, and gratitude. In the Qur’an, He says:“And they were not commanded except to worship Allah, keeping the religion pure for Him, being upright, and to establish prayer and give zakah. That is the true religion.” (98:5)
True worship, however, is not possible without knowledge.
This concise work presents the essential knowledge every Muslim must acquire. Rooted in the methodology of traditional Sunni Islam according to the Shafi‘i school of law, it is designed to help believers ensure their worship is valid, sound, and correct—all within a short time.
Written in the second Islamic century by al-Imam al-Shafi’i (d. 204AH/820AD), the founder of one of the four Sunni schools of law. This important work gives the fundamental principles of Islamic jurisprudence and its influence continues to the present day.
During the early years of the spread of Islam, the exponents of Islamic legal doctrine were faced with the problems raised by ruling and administering a diverse and rapidly growing empire. In Medina and Kufa, as well as other cities of early Muslim rule, schools of law had to be developed, but it took the genius of Muhammad b. Idris al-Shafi’i, born in the year 150AH/767AD, to establish the principles by which the various legal doctrines could be synthesised into a coherent system. In the Risala, which laid down the basis for such a synthesis, al-Shafi’i established the overriding authority, next only to the Qur’an, of the Sunna or example of the Prophet Muhammad as transmitted in the traditions.

A must for every Muslim household, this best seller is a comprehensive guide to all aspects of Islamic Law including family relations, marriage and divorce, crime and punishment, inheritance and disposal of property, economics and much more.
This course was compiled for new Muslims and indeed all English speaking Muslims and covers tahaarah (purification), salaah (prayer) and janaa’iz (funerals); it is set out in an easy to understand manner, citing evidences from the Quran and authentic ahaadeeth.
The aim of this book is to provide the reader with a correct, yet uncomplicated guide to the performance of the aforementioned acts of worship. Allah willing, it is the first in a series which will cover all aspects of worship and Islamic Jurisprudence.
The Prophet ﷺ said: “Islam is built upon five [pillars]: testifying that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, establishing prayer, paying zakāt, performing ḥajj to the Sacred House, and fasting in Ramaḍān” (narrated by al-Bukhārī and Muslim).
This concise treatise outlines each of these five pillars with the clarity and detail necessary for correct understanding and proper practice. Its author, Shaykh ʿAbd al-Ghanī al-Ghunaymī al-Maydānī (d. 1298 AH / 1880–81 CE), was a renowned Damascene scholar who memorized the Qur’an in his youth and studied with the leading scholars of his time. Distinguished not only for his deep expertise in Islamic law but also for his piety and devotion, he is best remembered for his widely acclaimed commentary on the Ḥanafī legal classic Mukhtaṣar al-Qudūrī, known simply as al-Lubāb.
The Hidāyah has held a preeminent place in the field of Islamic jurisprudence since its composition more than 800 years ago. For centuries, it has served as the primary reference for Muslim jurists in issuing authentic and reliable legal rulings within the school of Imām Abū Ḥanīfah (d. 150 AH / 767 CE).
Such is the authority of The Hidāyah that a scholar’s knowledge was often deemed incomplete without mastery of it. Nearly seventy major commentaries—some extending across a dozen volumes—have been authored on this monumental work, while the number of explanatory glosses reaches into the thousands.
With its comprehensive scope and clear organization, The Hidāyah eclipsed earlier writings on Ḥanafī jurisprudence, rendering them obsolete and gradually disused. Apart from the revealed scriptures themselves, no book has received such enduring scholarly attention.
This landmark edition represents the first complete translation of The Hidāyah directly from the original Arabic, the very language in which it was composed.
How is one to wade through the apparent welter of irreconcilable primary Islamic sources? What is one to do when faced with opposing practices of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) on the same issue?
When is a practice deemed necessary or recommended? These are some of the topics discussed in usul al-fiqh. Loosely translated as principles of Islamic jurisprudence, usul al-fiqh is the legal theory which underpins Islamic positive law and practical ethics. The book Usul ash-Shashi is an isagogic opuscule on legal theory according to the Hanafi School of Law.
It is widely favoured and accepted in the darse niazmi syllabus of South Asian seminaries and their sister institutions outside of the Asian Subcontinent despite little being known of its author. The translation will appeal to a wide readership in particular to elementary students of Islamic law and to those that are interested in legal theory.
Nur al-Isbāḥ is a concise yet remarkably comprehensive commentary on the world-renowned juristic text Nūr al-Iḍāḥ.
Its distinguished author, Ḥaḍrat Mawlānā Sayyid Muḥammad Mīā Ṣāḥib (raḥimahu’Llāh), was a prolific scholar and writer, and this masterpiece stands as a testament to his scholarly depth and proficiency. Originally composed in Urdu, it has now—al-ḥamdu lillāh—been rendered into English, making it accessible to a much wider audience across the globe.
In addition to the commentary, Ḥaḍrat Mawlānā Mīā has enriched the work with extensive footnotes (Iḍāḥ al-Isbāḥ), which greatly enhance its benefit. These notes expand upon the translation, provide valuable insight into the author’s choice of words, elaborate on juristic discussions, and highlight the authoritative positions of the Ḥanafī School regarding various issues.
A further unique feature of this edition is the inclusion of a special section titled Mistakes of the Qārī—a section not found in the original Arabic text but added by Ḥaḍrat Mawlānā Mīā due to the pressing need for such guidance. This addition makes the work even more beneficial for students and scholars alike.
This work is the English rendering of Mufti Ashiq Ilahi’s clear and accessible commentary on Mukhtaṣar al-Qudūrī, titled Tashīl al-Ḍarūrī li Masā’il al-Qudūrī. Presented in a question-and-answer format, it simplifies complex legal discussions, with explanatory notes added where necessary for clarity.
Imām ʿAbd al-Ḥusayn Aḥmad ibn Abī Bakr al-Qudūrī’s Mukhtaṣar al-Qudūrī—covering around 12,500 legal issues—is a foundational text of the Ḥanafī school, taught in seminaries across the world. It spans the entire spectrum of Islamic law, addressing matters of worship, financial transactions, personal relations, and judicial rulings.
This English translation, rendered by Mufti Afzal Hossen Elias, makes this important commentary accessible to a wider readership, providing students and scholars with a reliable guide to one of the key works of Ḥanafī fiqh.
