Dar Al Taqwa

Presents the basic teachings of Islam from a traditional perspective. Topics include: Fundamentals of of Faith and Sacred Law, Purification, The Prayer (Salat), Zakat, Fasting, the Pilgrimage (Hajj), and more. Famous Fiqh handbooks like al-Maqasid have stood the test of time because of their sheer usefulness. 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 (S) down to Imam Nawawi. This new edition has been appended on why Muslims follow madhabs, hadiths the mujtahid Imams lacked and the place of Sufism in Islam. Those using Reliance of the Traveler as a text will find this to be a good overview as well.
