Alhamdulillah for Allah (swt) bringing this knowledge into my life. Very easy read but by no means vague in its approach. Removes all doubt from a believer or non believer. You have the answers to many unanswered in biasd answered questions. This is a poweful reference and great pathway to building and increasing your knowledge and understanding Islam the right way.

An interesting book indeed. It's a law book and it's about religion so don't expect light reading. It's just a shame that PDF versions have been oppressed throughout the internet because a PDF version would be useful to help search various issues.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 June 2005

An excellent and well written book. The translation is well written and accompanied by the original Arabic text, there are translations also of religious rulings regarding everything from creed to smoking. The index is excellent and well formatted and the book is well sourced (a previous reviewer mentioned that the text does not give any sources (I assume he means the original Arabic writer) while this is true, Nuh Keller does well document his own sources including a brief biography of them and even other source reading material) The book has also been certified by some of the leading institutions in the Islamic world.

On an negative side, the actual text itself does not have a sufficient commentary (if at all) in that matter I am in agreement with the previous reviewer as there are many controversial matters brought up in the original Arabic text that need further explanation, to not do so surely does a great hindrance to the book. There are many who will argue that this book was intended to be read with a qualified Islamic scholar, if that were the case then what was the point in making it a book available for worldwide distribution? This could have been easily avoided by making it simply a University syllabus book and not one for general public consumption.

Secondly the contentious matters brought up with regards to creed. Nuh Keller as with the original author of the Arabic text and most of the sources he cites belong to the Ashari school of Islamic creed while a minority in contemporary Muslim society belong to a creed followed by ibn Taymiyah and his student ibn al-Qayyim. The matters of contention between the two schools are of little interest to Muslims never mind non-Muslims who will undoubtedly have access to this book so it begs the question as to why Nuh Keller even bothered to bring up such a controversial matter. Surely it would have been sufficient to state his and the original authors beliefs and leave it at that?

Aside from this it is an excellent book and although it is according to the Shafi school of law much of the content is of equal value to a follower of any of the schools of Islam.

Highly recommended but with a commentary this could have been excellent
