This annotated work includes two treatises that deal with specific aspects of the prayer. The first treatise is by Shaykh Aḥmad Daḥlān, and it outlines the importance of the prayer according to the sources of Islam and the pious figures of early Islam, the duty to perform the prayer in congregation, issuing a stark warning against leaving the prayer. The second is a legal manual consisting of the rules of purification and prayer according to the Ḥanafī legal school by Shaykh Hishām Burhānī. This work includes detailed descriptions of how to perform the major ritual bath (ghusl), ablution (wudū), how to practically perform the prayer, together with the azan, the integrals of the prayer, the Friday, Eid and the funeral prayers. In addition to these two treatises, extensive explanatory footnotes, as well as detailed appendices on the nature of legal rulings (aḥkām) in the Ḥanafī school, and the merit and duty to adhere to the Friday prayer have been included.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Heritage Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44255942181158,"sku":"","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/4785\/7958\/files\/8094305976614-featured-standard-1024x1536_c2aaae4c-7d6c-4201-9ac5-4ec974b2adae.png?v=1784647172"},{"product_id":"essentials-of-islamic-creed-a-primer-on-islamic-creed-hanafi-jurisprudence","title":"Essentials of Islam - A primer on Islamic Creed \u0026 Hanafi Jurisprudence","description":"\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"il\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMessenger of Allāh said: \"Islam is built upon five: testifying that there is no deity except Allah and that Muhammad is\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"il\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ethe\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMessenger of Allah, establishing\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"il\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ethe\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eritual prayer, almsgiving, making\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"il\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ethe\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003epilgrimage to\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"il\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ethe\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHouse, and fasting in Ramadān.\" [al-Bukhārī, Muslim].\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eThese five components of the religion serve as its foundation and are hence known as its \"pillars\".

Shaykh Ridhwan provides a refreshing alternative to the Euro-centric accounts that dominate the field, challenging many of the triumphant claims and - sometimes unconcious - biases of Western historians.\u003cbr\u003eDrawing upon the pioneering work of Marshall Hodgson, Shaykh Ridhwan addresses the importance of Muslims re-claiming and re-naming their proud heritage, and providing a couter-narrative to the mainstream textbooks.\u003cbr\u003eWhile many books have been written on the history of these civilisations, few have yet brought the two stories together. From the very birth of Europe in the crucible of the Crusades to the Ottoman advances of the Early Modern period, the history of the West has been closely intertwined with the Islamic world. Many books have been written on the history of these civilisations, but few have yet attempted to bring the two stories together. Indeed, it can be argued that the history of one cannot be fully appreciated without knowledge of the other. In this respect, this work is an important introduction to the complex relationships between these two great world civilisations.\u003cbr\u003eThe purpose of this book is provde readers with an overview of the major historical events and processes, as well as a glimpse at some of the important personalities, taking into consideration the political, intellectual and economic aspects.
