A Treasury of Sacred Maxims: A Commentary on Legal Principles
A Treasury of Sacred Maxims: A Commentary on Legal Principles
An introduction to a wide range of pivotal Islamic maxims with accompanying commentaries. Presented in a beautiful gift format.
This inspiring collection of sacred maxims is drawn from the genre known in Arabic as al-qawā‘id al-fiqhiyyah. These maxims are pithy sayings that Islamic scholars use as a guide for Islamic practice in a wide range of areas, from the rituals of worship to financial transactions. Though technically translated as “legal maxims”, the array of topics these maxims cover encompass the core ethical principles at the heart of the Shariah.
Given its concision, each maxim is rich in meaning, and the commentary provided by Dr Shahrul Hussain gives us a glimpse into the maxim’s significance. The commentaries, written by a Western Islamic scholar, bring out the relevance of each maxim to the English speaking reader.
This beautiful collection discusses the legal and moral implications of some fundamental Islamic principles. With an emphasis upon concision and concentration of meaning each aphorism, and its accompanying commentary, is full of value and significance.
This latest instalment in Kube’s Treasury Series in Islamic Thought and Civilisation, will help deepen the understanding of key aspects of Shariah in its legal and ethical dimensions.
