Description :
"موازين القاصرين" رسالةُ الإمام الشعراني الروحية للقاصِرين — الذين يَعْرِفون أنّهم لم يَبْلُغوا عُلى الطريق ومع ذلك يَطْلبون أن يُؤَدُّوا ما يَلْزَمهم على قَدْر طاقتِهم الفِعْليّة. تُقَدِّم الرسالةُ "موازين" مُتَدَرِّجة يَقيس بها المؤمنُ تقدُّمه ويُحَدِّد الخطوةَ التالية المُتاحة، فلا يَتْرك الطريقَ لأَنّ الهُوَّةَ بين حاله وحال كبار الصالحين كبيرة. تَدَخُّلٌ مُمَيِّزٌ للشيخ الشعراني: عَمَليٌّ مباشر، صريحٌ بِشَأن المَوْضِع الواقعي لقرّائه، رفيقٌ بهم دون أن يُنْقِص من مطلب التَّقْليد.
موازين القاصرين Mawazin al-Qasireen. The work provides graduated 'scales' (mawazin) by which the believer can measure his progress and identify the next achievable step, rather than abandoning the path because of the gap between his state and the lives of the great salihin.

About the Author :
Imam ‘Abd al-Wahhab al-Sha’rani (b. 898/1493) was one of the scholarly saints and revivers of Islam in the sixteenth century. He is generally hailed as a reviver (mujaddid) of Islam and is considered one of the most prolific writers in the early Egyptian-Ottoman period, composing legal, spiritual, and theological works that continue to enjoy wide circulation throughout the Muslim world. One of his ancestors, Musa b. ‘Imran was the son the Sultan of Tlemcem, Algeria and a student of the famous Algerian spiritual master Abu Madyan (d. 594/1197). Musa b. ‘Imran’s grandson Ahmad moved to a village in Upper Egypt called Saqiyat Abu al-Sha’ra, whence the ascription “al-Sha’rani”.
Imam al-Sha’rani went on to study the Islamic sciences in al-Azhar University, and was a student of Shaykh al-Islam Zakariyya al-Ansari. His spiritual teachers include Shaykh Ibrahim al-Matbuli (d. ca. 877/1492) and ‘Ali al-Khawwas, both of whom were illiterate, albeit spiritually illumined masters. His greatest contributions to Islamic spirituality and scholarship are his over three hundred books, the most famous of which include his al-Mizan al-kubra (The Supreme Scale), Lata’if al-minan wa al-akhlaq (Subtle Blessings and Qualities of Character), and al-Uhud al-Muhammadiyya (The Muhammadan Covenants),
Other published works of Imam al-Sharani.
