Description : Volume 16: Book of Morals & Etiquette



First ever English translation of the famous Hanafi fiqh manual !

'Bahar-e-Shari’at' is that universally acclaimed book of the eminent khalifa of the great Mujaddid of Islam, AlaHadrat Shah Imam Ahmad Raza Khan, 'alayhi ar-Rahman w'al-Ridwan, and the great faqih of the era, Sadrus Shari'ah, Qadi Hakeem, Allama Abul Mawlana Amjad Ali Aazmi Razawi, 'alayhir rahman, which can be justifiably called the Encyclopedia of the Hanafi Islamic (fiqh) Jurisprudence. Bahaar-e-Shar'ah is possibly the most authentic and comprehensive fiqh book currently in the urdu language for Hanafi Sunni Muslims.


This publication, is the first ever English translation of 'Volume 16' of the famous Hanafi fiqh manual !


Today, there is hardly a Darul Ifta that does not carry a copy of Bahaar-e-Shariat. With the exception of Darul Iftas, there are also numerous Mosques the world-over that have classes in which Bahaar-e-Shariat is taught to the worshippers: and numerous Muslim Colleges and Universities in the World have introduced Bahaar-e-Shariat as a part of the syllabus for those studying to become Ulama. Undoubtedly, in the present time, there has not been any other Book of Fiqh that has been written in the urdu language, which compares to Bahaar-e-Shariat. The world renowned 'Fatawa Alamgiri' was compiled by the devoted efforts of hundreds of the most learned Ulama of the time, but Sadrus Sahriah compiled a voluminous book like Bahaar-e-Shariat single handedly. The Muslim Ummah will forever remain indebted to him for work of such magnitude. Seventeen Volumes were orginally written by 'Sadrus Shariah' and due to ill health, he was unable to go any further, therefore the final 3 volumes were written by his students upon his request.
