Description :

Al-Murshid al-Mu'een is a widely recognised primary text for learning Islam. In it the author, Abd al-Wahid ibn 'Ashir, may Allah be pleased with him, summarises in verse the three sciences of Islam, Iman and Ihsan: Maliki fiqh, Ash'ari 'aqida and Junaidi tasawwuf.


This is its first complete translation into English.


Imam Abu Muhammad Abd al-Wahid ibn 'Ashir : The mujahid, Abu Muhammad, 'Abd al-Wahid ibn 'Ali ibn 'Ashir, may Allah have mercy upon him, of the Ansari line, was originally from Andalusia and brought up in Fez which he made his home. He is most famous for the poem entitled al-Murshid al-mu'in 'ala daruri min'ulum ad-deen. He died in the month of Dhu'l Hijja 1040 AH.
