Translated by Charles Hamilton
Complete Revised and Edited by Z Baintner
2 Hard Back Volumes 838 + 737 Pages
Published in Pakistan THE CLASSIC MANUAL OF HANAFI LAWS The
Hidaya or Guide. A commentary on the
Mussulman laws. Tanslation by Charles Hamilton first made in the 1780s (dedicated
'to Warren
Hastings, Esq., late Governor-General of Bengal').
As Charles Hamilton was not a Muslim the translation was lacking in many ways ,
The current Publications has been revised and Edited by a Muslim Z Baitner
in 2005 with the aim of removing many of the above mentioned weaknesses. The
Publication by Darul Ishaat , Pakistan brings out a much improved Print quality
than the previous available unedited translations
Abu al Hasan Burhan al Din 'Ali
b. Abi Bakr b. 'Abd al Jalal al-Farghani, al Marghinani, the great Hanafi
jurist, was born at Marghian in the vicinity of Farghana in 530 A.H. (1135
A.H.). He died in 593 A.H. (1197 A.D.).
The Importance of this Book can not be exaggerated,
it was and still is referred to in all Courts in Muslim India. It is also
studied in most Hanafi based Dar-ul-Ulums and Islamic Universities.
Unfortunately it does not deal with Salah, Fasting and Ibadah issues in
general as Charles Hamilton was mainly concerned with Laws such,
Zakat, Marriage,
Divorce, Sales and other transaction.

Al-Aqidah
at-Tahawiah.
Islamic Belief,
By Imam Abu Ja'far At-Tahawi.
Translated by UK Islamic Academy
Paperback. 40 Pages
Imam Tahawi's al-Aqidah,
representative of the viewpoint of ahl-al-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah, has long
been the most widely acclaimed, and indeed indispensable, reference-work
on Muslim beliefs. Being a text on Islamic doctrines, this work draws
heavily on arguments set forth in the Holy Qur'an and Sunnah. Likewise,
the arguments advanced in refuting the views of sects that have deviated
from the Sunnah are also taken from the Holy Qur'an and Sunnah.
As regards the sects mentioned in this work, a study of Islamic history up
to the time of Imam Tahawi would be helpful. Moreover, it contains
references to views of the Shi'ah, Khawarij and such mystics that had
departed from the right path. There is an explicit reference in the work
to the non-sensical controversy on khalq-al- Qur'an in the times of Ma'mun
and some other 'Abbasid Caliphs. While the permanent relevance of the
statements of belief in al-Aqidah is obvious, the historical weight of
these statements can only be properly appreciated if the work is used as a
study text under the guidance of some learned person able to highlight its
arguments fully. Such a study will help one understand Islamic doctrines
better and avoid deviations. |

The
Book Of Tahara
Based on Allamah
Shurunbulali's Classical Hanafi Fiqh Manual, Nurul Idhah
Compiled, Translation and Commentary by Zahir Mahmood
Paperback 74 PAges
Published by Inter-Islam Publishers UK
Edited By Hafiz Mohammad Nawaz Daud
For
generations Nurul Idhah has been one of the most widely taught texts
used to transmit Hanafi Fiqh in Many Hanafi Educational Institutions.
The acceptance of obligatory
worship -salah- must be preceded by performing ritual purity (taharah) and it
must be preceded by having prior knowledge of its ritual elements.
The objective of this study is to equip the worshipper precisely with this
knowledge which includes types of water, wudu, purificatory bath and tayammum to
mention but a few. In order to facilitate a lucid but yet comprehensive study of
the subject, learning diagrams, charts and illustrations have been incorporated.
For those who perform their ritual actions without adequately fulfilling the
required standard of ritual purity and thereby render their worship incomplete
if not unacceptable, have every reason to consult this invaluable study

Essential Islamic
Knowledge
A translation of
MALA BUDDA MINHU
Formerly Translated as The Essential HANAFI hand book of Fiqh
By Qadi Thana Ullah Panipati (1731-1831
CE)
Translated by Yusuf Talal De Lorenzo (translation from Persian)
Publisher: UK Islamic Academy (2003)
Pages: 272 Binding: Paperback ISBN: 1872531342
The book gives an explanation on
Aqidah, Taharah, Salah, Zakah, Sawm and
hajj. In addition, some basic aspects on what is prohibited and disliked,
together with some instructions on elements of social conduct.
Hanafi fiqh is followed, however there are occasional references to other
school of fiqh.
Description from the Publisher
This book gives a detailed explanation of
the creed held by the ahl-as-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah, and goes on to describe
the essential features of purification, prayer, poor-dues, fasting, and
etc. It deals with issues that should be known by everyone regarding the
correct performance of these devotions, which Muslims have little
knowledge of.
Additionally, intricate matters such as God-fearing behaviour, social
behaviour, one's duties to others, individual and collective dealings,
sales and purchases, and more are also addressed, with both their correct
and distorted forms highlighted. A section is also devoted to tazkiyah and
ihsan, the sincere worship of Allah and attaining to the true spirit of
faith.
The main feature of this book is that it deals only with that which is
important, with those issues which the average Muslim person faces daily.
As such it is an invaluable guide to the basic Islamic tenets for the
common Muslim and for young people making their entry into adulthood
Qadi Thana'ullah Panipati
(1731-1831 C.E) hails from a family renowned for its piety and learning.
He gained his Islamic education and knowledge of the Shari`ah from the great
scholars of his time such as Shah Waliyyullah Dehlawi, the great muhaddith and
reformer, and he was also the greatest disciple of Mirza Mazhar Jane Janan (the
renowned shaikh of the Nagshbandi Sufi order in Muslim India) in his spiritual
training and jihad in the way of Allah. His whole life was dedicated to the
teaching, interpreting and preserving of the Sunnah of the Prophet . Qadi
Thana'ullah was himself a great scholar of the Shari'ah and a saintly man whose
piety is reflected in all his writings.
Apart from Mala Budda Minhu - Essential Islamic Knowledge, the Qadi wrote
several more books on the subject of fiqh, ranging from a collection of fatawa
to a treatise on the elements of jurisprudence. One of his major works is his
great and famous exegesis of the Holy Qur'an, written across many volumes and
named Tafsir al-Mazhari, after his spiritual Shaikh, Mirza Mazhar Jane Janan.
