Book Description
About The Book With the revival of interest in Islam in our times, the Qur’an is also being read increasingly, especially by the intellectuals: Muslims and non-Muslims alike. However, and although its message and central theme have been stated in unambiguous terms, its translation fails to impart the same meaning with the same effect. Additionally, the Qur’an deals with every subject of human concern and gives guidelines for application to life and society. This increases its scope widely, and requires on the part of the reader's knowledge of various disciplines for proper appreciation of its message. It is specially important to know how the Qur’an was understood by those who received it first: Prophet Muhammad (SAW), on whom be Allah’s peace, and his immediate followers. Second in order of interest and importance would be to know how the scholars of Islam have understood it in every age.

Book Description
This is the only book to deal with classical Islamic cosmology as it was formulated by the Ikhwan al-S'afa al Biruni and Ibn Sina during the tenth and eleventh centuries. These figures influenced all the later centuries of Islamic history and in fact created the cosmological framework within which all later scientific activity in the Islamic world was carried out--the enduring image of the cosmos within which Muslims have lived during the past millennium. Nasr writes from within the Islamic tradition and demonstrates how, based on the teachings of the Quran and the Prophet, the figures treated in this work integrated elements drawn from various ancient schools of philosophy and the sciences. This book is unique in its treatment of classical Islamic cosmology as seen from within the Islamic world-view and provides a key for understanding of traditional Islamic thought.

Book Description
Due to the intellectual decline that befell the Muslim Ummah during the last few centuries various confusions exist today regarding Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh). Most of these relate to misunderstanding subjects related to the principles and foundations of jurisprudence (Usul al-Fiqh). Different extremes exist today where some Muslims look at evidences from the Qur'an and Sunnah and attempt to interpret them without having the necessary framework to extract the correct meanings. Whilst others disregard the Shari'ah evidences altogether, utilising their own logic rather than the revelation and some who believe that the doors of Ijtihad are closed.This book aims to clarify key subjects that establish the framework of Islamic juristic thinking such as: - Understanding the key terminology of Usul including Daleel, Shari'ah and Fiqh.- The definitive sources of Shari'ah - the Qur'an, Sunnah, Ijma' as-Sahabah & Qiyas.- Sources of Shari'ah not agreed upon by all Ulema (scholars) - Ijma' al-Ummah, Maslaha al Mursalah, Istihsan, laws revealed before Islam and others.- Ijtihad, the Mujtahid & Taqleed.- An overview of the Islamic schools of thought.Most of the books written on this subject in English have been written for academic purposes and rather than for the normal reader. This 243 page paperback book has been written in a clear simple style understandable to the average reader. Abu Ismael al-Beirawi has ammended the original book 'Studies in Usul al-Fiqh' written by Abu Tariq Hilal. He slightly restructured the book so that the definitive sources of law are discussed before those upon which there is disagreement amongst the scholars. The chapters on the Quran, Qiyas, Ijtihad and Taqleed were brief in the original. He has added to these and in some cases rewritten sections where elaboration was required. In this age of doubt and scepticism Abu Ismael felt it necessary to add some textual evidences and much needed references for some definitions and Ahadith. To distinguish this amended version from the original a new title has been given that keeps to the simplicity of the original.It is clear that in writing the original, Abu Tariq referred to Sheikh Taqiuddin an-Nabhani's (ra) masterpiece 'Shaksiyyah Islamiyyah' (The Islamic Personality). He has done the same, as well as referring to the excellent book 'Teyseer al wusool Ila al-Usul' (To make understanding Usul easy) by Sheikh Ata ibn Khalil Abu al-Rishta (May Allah protect him).
