A translation of Nur al-Idah, A Classical Manual of Hanafi Law. Translated from Arabic with Commentary and Notes by Wesam Charkawi Nur al-Idah is a Hanafi text which includes vast areas of jurisprudence, namely, the rulings pertaining to worship. It leaves the student or general reader well prepared to deal with the majority of matters ranging from purification, prayer, funerals, and zakat to hajj. It reveals in a small way why the Hanafi Madhhab is held in such high esteem from scholars all over the world. It is practical, sensible and can be used as a reference book. This book is based on the teachings of Abu Hanifa and his students, namely Imam Muhammad, Abu Yusuf, and Zufar; and will provide the reader with a brief look as to why the Hanafi Madhhab is the most widely embraced in the world today. Ahmad Ibn Hanbal said, "If in any matter there is an agreement between three people, then one pays no attention to the verdict of anyone who disagrees with them." Someone asked him, "Who are they?" He answered, "Abu Hanifa, Abu Yusuf, and Muhammad Ibn al-Hasan." About the book, The translation of Nur al-Idah is displayed in bold while the commentary and explanation, the majority of which is from Maraky al-Falah is written in plain text. It has been the translator's attempt to prepare the text of Nur al-Idah in a manner that can be read independently without reading the commentary. However, the commentary is essential for further explanations of the actual text, and for this reason, it entails views from other Hanafi sources such as al-Ikhtiyar and al-Hidayah, as well as the position of other schools, such as the Shafi'i Madhhab. This is intended to give the reader a broader perspective on matters and demonstrate the similarity between the various schools of thought
