This course is based on Nur al-Idah wa Najat al-Arwah (The Light of Clarification and the Salvation of Souls), an intermediate work on the fiqh of worship. Written by the erudite scholar, Imam Shurunbulali, it combines rulings from the great works of the Hanafi school on the issues of purification, prayer, and fasting.

Ascent to Felicity - Turath Publishing

An admirable rendering into lucid, fluid English of Imam Hasan al-Shurunbulali’s primer of Hanafi law, Ascent to Felicity. This concise but thorough work focuses on the five acts of worship. The book has the added feature of a fairly detailed presentation of the basics of the Muslim Creed. In translating this introductory section of Imam Shurunbulali’s treatise, Khan’s skill as a translator is on full display, as he has made sometimes involved theological concepts easily accessible to the average English reader. Khan has provided an additional service to both Shurunbulali’s work and to contemporary Muslims by augmenting the translation with insightful and extremely useful explanatory notes. The value of this work, skillfully produced by White Thread Press, goes far beyond its benefit to adherents of the Hanafi legal school. Rather, it will prove of benefit to Muslims in general as well as researchers interested in latter-day presentations of the creed and practice of Sunni Muslims.” Another matter that sets this course apart from others is that Imam Shurunbulali was from “ahl al-tarjih,” those scholars at the rank of choosing positions in the school. This eliminates confusion and provides the reader with a good grounding in the subject. The text is not a beginner's work. It adds detail and nuance to the basics that would have been studied prior to it. Nur al-Idah - despite its brilliance - was not Imam Shurunbulali’s most celebrated work. He was most famously known for his work, the Shurunbulaliyya, a hashiya (marginal notes) on the Durar of Mulla Khusraw which covers all the topics of jurisprudence. This book is an important contribution to the growing, but still small, corpus of traditional Islamic texts available in English translation.” Dr Ingrid Mattson Millions of Muslims are striving to learn the religion but don't have the means, which is why we offer our courses 100% free.Based on the works of Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Rahman al-Sakhawi, Shaykh Ashraf 'Ali Thanawi, Shaykh Yusuf ibn Sulayma...
