Compact enough to be memorized by students becoming scholars, al-Maqasid contains hundreds of rulings of personal Islamic law distilled from the most commonly asked and answered questions in schools and mosques from the time of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) down to Imam Nawawi. Widely considered the best medium-size handbook available in English for teaching the basics of Islam from a traditional perspective, this new edition has been revised and updated with a full complement of notes on a number of contemporary Muslim issues, and three major essays have been appended on why Muslims follow madhhabs, hadiths the mujtahid Imams lacked, and the place of Sufism in Islam. NUH HA MIM KELLER has studied Islamic jurisprudence, hadith, and other traditional sciences with sheikhs in Syria and Jordan since 1981. He lives and teaches in Amman. Cover: At the far Western end of Muslim lands, facing across the Atlantic, this maqam at Safi is a metaphor, in its way, of Sacred Knowledge as the redoubt of the believer between the land of this world and the sea of eternity Review: Qibla's chosen text for the Shafi'i course - This book is considered a matan...a summarized work of basic rulings of worship in the Shafi'i madhhab. As such, it leaves out a lot of detail and explanation because it is meant to be studied as a textbook with an Islamic scholar filling in the details in depth. Sheikh Nuh Ha Mim Keller (May God preserve Him) added many notes from the Reliance of the Traveler to supplement much of the information when he translated this book, but again...this book is NOT intended for casual reading for the unlearned, nor self-study by Muslims. I studied from this book at the school "Qibla: for the Islamic Sciences" - a TWO semester course! Sheikh Nuh Ha Mim Keller also teaches at this school himself. It is an excellent semi-intermediate text, and covers all of the fard-al-ayn (basic personally obligatory knowledge to be a practicing Muslim) in a concise, portable format. This book is a classic; and Imam Nawawi is one of the authoritative scholars in the Shafi'i school of Islamic jurisprudence. Review: Excellent primer on Islamic law - Al Maqasid of Imam Nawawi is an excellent primer for people learning the basics of Islamic practice and law according to the madhhab of Imam Shafi'i. The text covers basic beliefs, the five pillars, spirituality, and contains various essays in the appendix section that deal with current trends that need explanation from the traditional Islamic perspective. This text is a required a in Shafi'i fiqh course offered at sunnipath.com. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #415,511 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #175 in Islamic Rituals & Practice (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 67 Reviews | ## Images ![Al-Maqasid: Nawawi's Manual of Islam (English and Arabic Edition) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61K6dF7BYeL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Qibla's chosen text for the Shafi'i course *by F***I on September 14, 2012* This book is considered a matan...a summarized work of basic rulings of worship in the Shafi'i madhhab.
