Description :


Bad al-Amali is didactic ode written by Imam Sirajuddin Ali al-Ushi [d.575AH] primarily for beginners and students of theology. It outlines the creed of the Ahl us Sunnah wa'l Jama'ah in a poem that is succinct, comprehensive and surprisingly easy to memorise. Many commentaries have been written on this famous poem, which is a sign of acceptance in scholarly circles, among which the one by Mullah Ali al-Qari and Ibn Jama'ah are most well known.


In this day and age when corruption is rampant and strife is rife, and Muslim laymen, for the most part, are unaware of the correct beliefs of Islam regarding Allah and His Messengers, it is encumbent to understand important articles of faith as described in this book.


This current translation of the ode in plain and simple English, accompanied with copious footnotes to explain the verses, should help even those readers who lack any exposure or formal introduction to traditional Islamic sciences, easily understand and absorb subtle and sometimes complex tenets central to the Islamic faith.


May Allah, azza wa jall, bless the translator Shaykh Abu Hasan for his effort in making this ode accessible to the English speakers so that they may know and understand the correct creed of thr Ahl al-Sunnah and protect themselves from the relentless assault of heretical ideas.
