Title: Imam Nawawi's Manual of Islam (Al Maqasid)

Author: Imam Nawawi

Translated by: Nuh Ha Mim Keller

Publishing House: Amana Publications

Review:

IMAM NAWAWI’S classic manual of Islam, AL-MAQASID, was the first composed as a FIQH MATN, or synopsis of the practical requirements of Islam, faith, purification, the prayer, zakat, fasting, and pilgrimage, for students to memorize. This English translation has been expanded to include explanative notes taken from Ahmed Ibn Naqib’s UMDAT AL-SALIK, (the Reliance of the Traveler), to enhance its usefulness as a primer for students of Islam. The handbook’s clear and concise style will help anyone seeking to learn the essentials of Islamic practice and spirituality from a reliable, traditional source in language, which is easy to understand.
