by Abu 'l-Muntaha al-Maghnisawi with Selections from 'Ali al-Qari's Commentary, including Abu Hanifa's Kitab al-Wasiyya
Hardback edition with two color text inside
Al-Fiqh al-Akbar is one of the earliest texts written on central Islamic theology, and one of the surviving works of Abu Hanifa, the Great Imam of jurisprudence and theology. Studied for centuries in the Muslim world, Al-Fiqh al-Akbar offers a layered understanding of divine oneness (tawhid), the underpinning of Islamic belief. It helps to refine one's understanding of the Creator, messengers, and divine communication, and enables one, moreover, to gain insight into the realities of this life and the events of the life hereafter.
Al-Fiqh al-Akbar adds nuance to one's understanding of 'aqida and deepens one's appreciation of his or her beliefs, and addresses head-on questions that, if unanswered, could leave invidious doubt and cause communal division: "Where is Allah?" "Does Allah evolve?" "What constitutes true Islamic belief?" "Are prophets capable of sinning?"
"Is there creation beyond what we see?" "What comes after death?"
This translation of Al-Fiqh al-Akbar is an unprecedented contribution to a subject in English. A lucid rendering, unhampered by sterile literalism, it draws on a number of commentaries to unlock for the general English-speaking readership a subject that has been largely inaccessible to them, both because of the subject's complexity and the lack of reliable works in English. This definitive edition, combining Maghnisawi's basic commentary with numerous notes carefully selected from 'AlI al-Qari's super-commentary and the entire Kitab al-Wasiyya of Abu Hanifa, is the English reader's essential guide on the intellectual and rewarding journey through Islamic creed.

Great book,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Imam Abu Hanifa's Al-Fiqh al-Akbar Explained (Hardcover)
This book is a must for Hanafi's. The book was written by Imam Abu Hanifa so this is a inside of what Hanafi Fiqh is all about. As soon as this book came to my house, I shuffled through the pages to see what the book actually contains. It contains things that make you cry for not being a true follower. It also makes you happy for the things you actually do follow. The Hanafi Fiqh is the biggest in the world and this must be read by all. All the incidents are carefully taken by the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad Sallala Hu Alahi Wa Salaam. Hanafi fiqh is based on the end of the life of Prophet Muhammad Sallala Hu Alahi Wa Salaam.

Classic with excellent translation,
This review is from: Imam Abu Hanifa's Al-Fiqh al-Akbar Explained (Hardcover)
This is simply the best published translation (with excellent commentary) I know of, of a classic book of Islamic creed.The original needs no review, it's place in over a thousand years of scholarship is quite enough.
