Ascent to Felicity Maraqi 'l-Sa'adat: A Manual on Islamic Creed and Hanafi Jurisprudence
Product ID: 363418367
Description from the publisher: Written by the eminent 11th century Hanafi scholar, Abu Æl-Ikhlas al-Shurunbulali, Ascent to Felicity is a concise yet comprehensive primer in creed and jurisprudence. It spans all five pillars of Islam, as well as the topics of slaughtering, ritual sacrifice, and hunting. To supplement the text, the translator has added key explanatory notes taken from several reliable works on theology and jurisprudence. He has also added appendices that comprise numerous supplications related to the five pillars, presented in Arabic script along with English transliteration, as well as the etiquette of visiting the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him peace) in Madina. -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. - Imam Zaid Shakir Co-Founder and Resident Scholar, Zaytuna College -This book is an important contribution to the growing, but still small, corpus of traditional Islamic texts available in English translation.ö - Dr Ingrid Mattson President of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) Review: Good - Will update after reading it. Got a free bookmark. Thank you The Ilm Store. Review: Essential for Hanafi School of Thought followers - A genuine gem for student of knowledge.

Excellent Gem
I have been looking for a long time for a good book on Hanafi Fiqh - something as comprehensive as the Shafii Safinat un Najjah. Finally, I have found what I was looking for in this great book. The main text is a great summary and the work that Mr Khan has done in supplementing this with notes gives it a comprehensive nature that one would desire out of a primer such as this. The book highlights some basic creed and is followed by the correct details of Islamic practice the Hanafi Way. To be honest, the work is so fantastic, we would hope that the same translator works on other texts that go beyond the five pillars so we can have something in Hanafi fiqh along the lines of Nuh Ha Mim Keller's excellent translation in the book "The Reliance of the Traveller". I have to admit that I have not completed this book - I read a topic at a time absorbing the correct practice and implementing that before I move on so that I do not forget to implement what I learn. However, the book is too good not to spare a few minutes in the middle of my reading to write the type of review it deserves - and I know I have fallen short. May Allah bless both the writer and the translator with abundance in all spheres both in this life and the next. Ameen.

Excellent book mashaAllah.
