Splendour of the Sacred Way: Bahar e Shariat, Volume One: Faith & Doctrine

Bahar-e-Shari’at is a prominent work of Hanafi Fiqh in the Urdu language. Undoubtedly, it ranks amongst the masterpieces of Hanafi Fiqh works of the last century, acclaimed for its encyclopaedic nature, clarity and accessibility. The author, Sadr al-Shariah Imam Amjad Ali al-A’zami, was a polymath whose expertise encompassed many sciences, including the rational sciences, creed, and hadith; however, he is best known for his mastery of Hanafi Fiqh.

In a departure from the norm, he preceded the chapters on Fiqh with an extensive chapter on ‘aqidah, expounding on the orthodox creed of Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jam’ah and refuting heresies that had become rife in his time and were threatening the faith of common Muslims. That chapter on creed has now been translated into the English language in a superlative manner.

The translator, Abu Hasan, has endeavoured to make this translation an extremely thorough and well-researched piece – with over 1200 footnotes copious appendices and end notes. The footnotes include such details as: the takhrij of the Hadiths quoted by the author, explanation of creedal nuances wherever relevant, linguistic and historical details, and other finer academic points.

The translator makes minimum assumptions about his readers and goes out of his way to ensure that they understand every word and concept mentioned by the author technical terms have been explained and difficult concepts are supported with commentary to aid the reader. – either in adjoining parentheses, or in a footnote. Where footnotes alone were found insufficient to convey the full import of the text, comprehensive appendices and end-notes have been added to assist the reader further to develop a wholesome understanding of the matter at hand. The result is a work that is not only accessible to the general reader but also be a treasure trove for students of knowledge and scholars alike.
