Description :


'The Correct Approach to Unpacking the Select Creed' : This book presents Shaykh Muhammad Nawawi al-Jawi al-Bantani’s Al-Nahjah al-Jayyidah li-Hal alfaz Nuqawat al-Aqidah, his introduction to essential creed and fundamental obligations. The Arabic text is presented along with an English translation.


This book contains the author’s commentary on his own Nuqawah, a short poem introducing essential creed, and what is obligatory to believe, know, and perform. He drew the majority of his commentary from Shaykh Ibrahim al-Bajuri's (1198–1276 AH/1784–1860 CE) Tuhfat al-Murid, making this book a summary of its most important points, all presented in an accessible manner.


 

About the Author :

The author of the book is Shaykh Abu ‘Abd al-Mu‘ti Muhammad bin ‘Umar bin ‘Arab? bin ‘Ali Nawawi al-Bantani al-Jawi, may Allah have mercy upon his soul, in present-day Indonesia, who lived during 1230–1314 AH/1813–1879 CE, and became one of the Shaykhs of the Two Sacred Precincts. He authored over 40 works in various subjects, including creed [‘aqidah], theology [kalam], Qur'anic exegesis [tafsir], jurisprudence [fiqh], principles of jurisprudence [usul al-fiqh], and spiritual purification and excellence [tazkiyah, ihsan, and tasawwuf]. In the Malay world (the Nusantara), his words are mandatory reading for students of traditional Islamic disciplines, and many are popular in the Middle East.
