About the Translator:
Nuh Ha Mim Keller, American Muslim translator and specialist in Islamic Law. Born in 1954 in the north-western United States, was educated in philosophy and Arabic at the University of Chicago and UCLA. He entered Islam in 1977 at al-Azhar in Cairo, and later studied the traditional Islamic Sciences of hadith, Shafi'i and Hanafi jurisprudence, legal methodology (usul al-fiqh), and tenets of faith (`aqidah) in Syria and Jordan, where he has lived since 1980. His English translation of `Umdat al-Salik [The Reliance of the Traveller] is the first Islamic legal work in a European language to receive the certification of al-Azhar, the Muslim world's oldest institution of higher learning.

Published by Starlatch Press USA
NEW STARLATCH RELEASE: Starlatch presents an enduring classic work (composed by the illustrious Imam al-Nawawi) on the etiquette that a Muslim should have with regard to handling, teaching, studying, respecting, and reciting the Quran. The topics this volume raises include: ritual cleanliness, opportune times for recitation, the etiquette that students have with their teachers (and that teachers must have with their students), and a variety of other issues that every Muslim should know and often ask about.
The present work was designed and written to explain to men and women how best to benefit from the Book of Allah. The blessing of the Quran is that whoever recites it as it should be recited is changed by it, and brought by imperceptible degrees to see why everything is the way it is…. It is well known to everyone conversant with the Islamic disciplines that the learning of many things does not teach wisdom, and that traditional books do not reveal their secrets or bestow their benefits to those without the key to them. This key is adab, the “right way of doing things,” rendered in the title as “etiquette.”… Books, especially sacred ones, give their knowledge to those of adab, and Westerners who know something about the sciences of Islam have been waiting for a book like this in English for a long time. ' From the Foreword of Sh. Nuh Ha Mim Keller'
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Yahya

disciplines, including law, Prophetic traditions, Quran exegesis, and grammar.

where he also died in 1277 at the age of 45. Read

ABOUT THE TRANSLATOR Musa Furber
Musa Furber was born in Massachusetts and raised in Portland, Oregon. He majored
in linguistics at Portland State University, with an emphasis on computational
linguistics and cognitive science, a major that required him to study a
non-Indo-European language. As good fortune would have it, Arabic was the only
class that fit in his schedule at the time, thus starting him off on what
eventually would become a serious and personal study of the Quran and Islam.
Musa embraced Islam and shortly thereafter embarked on a path of learning. While
still a student in Portland, he studied Shafi'i fiqh with a scholar who
was in Portland at the time. After graduating from college, Musa went to
Damascus to further his Arabic studies. After a one-year return to the U.S.,
Musa again traveled to Damascus where he completed an intensive four-year study
of the traditional sciences of Islam (hadith, Quran, fiqh, advanced
Arabic grammar, biography of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and
more). After graduation, he continued his studies with scholars in and around
Damascus. He has studied several important texts and is qualified to translate
and teach them. Musa now resides in a small village outside of Damascus with his
wife and three children.
