A Basic Hanafi Primer on Faith, Prayer, & the Path of Salvation

A simple book on fiqh. Contains 1025 rulings covering topics from purity to hajj. For each topic covered (e.g. wudu) it lists obligatory, compulsory, Sunnat, desirable, and undesirabel actions as well as nullifiers. The concise numbered lists make it easy to read and remember them. Translated by Mufti Afzal Husain Ilyas.

This is the first major attempt to produce a revised and updated version of this great classic. Language has been simplified as Urdu has gone through major change since this book was written. Additionally the issues that are no longer applicable have been removed and those which are important now have been included. The work was produced by teachers at Jamia Rashid. This is a much more accessible and relevant book for today’s readers.
