Nur al-idah is a text that deals with the subject matters of
purification, prayer, and fasting in an exhaustive manner.
This important primer, written in the 17th Century, in the Hanafi School
of law, has had unanimous acceptance in the Muslim Sunni world for
centuries and is usually the first text studied in law by the neophyte
student up until today.
This translation is clear, with additional space for making hand-written
notes and beneficial footnotes that make it an indispensable resource
for any serious student of the Hanafi School, whether studying the text
in English or any other language. There is an added section on Zakah to
cover the immediate core areas of worship that are essential in every
Muslim's daily and yearly life. The layman and the student alike will no
doubt benefit from this priceless work.
