Synopsis
THE ABRIDGED COMPENDIUM ON THE PRINCIPLES OF ISLAMIC JURISPRUDENCE (Uṣūl al-Fiqh) A Simple Bilingual Textbook for Beginners — Arabic & English Sheikh Mohamed Essam Al-Azhari
⸻
Have you ever wondered how scholars actually derive rulings from the Qur'an and Sunnah — or why they sometimes disagree? Behind every fatwa lies a hidden science. This book hands you its keys, clearly and simply.
⸻
WHY THIS BOOK IS SPECIAL
Its content rests on the relied-upon principles (muʿtamad) of this science — the established methodology taught for generations to hundreds of thousands of students at the greatest centers of Islamic learning: Al-Azhar, the Umayyad Mosque, Al-Zaytuna, Al-Qayrawan, the ribāṭs of Yemen, and the maḥāḍir of Shinqīṭ. This is time-tested knowledge, not a newly invented, untested text.
It is made for teaching, not just reading — structured to be studied and taught, with a glossary of key terms and comprehension questions after each chapter.
It is written in easy Arabic and easy English, side by side, solving the difficulties beginners face with dense classical texts.
It is a key to the whole library: master these foundations and the door opens to everything written in Arabic in this field — classical and modern alike.
It moves from rule to application: every principle is paired with a real example from the Qur'an, the Sunnah, and the rulings of the jurists, so the science never stays abstract.
And it is part of a complete series covering all the Islamic sciences — not just one or two fields.
All contents accepted by the scholars of the Principles of Islamic Jurisprudence.
