THE EVOLUTION OF FIQH (Hard Cover)

₦26,000.00

About the Book: In the Evolution of F iqh (Islamic & the Madh-habs), the author very clearly clearly presents a brief overview of the historical development of Islamic law and its schools (the madh-habs). The book identiﬁes the main reason for the appearance of the madh-habs and the factors leading to differences among them. For those to whom the madh-habs have been a mystery, this aspect of the book will be extremely enlightening. Although the author sheds light on both the positive and negative roles of the madh-habs in the past, the main message of the book is a call to the understanding of logistic differences (with an aim to remove them where possible), and a proposal for the uniﬁcation of the madh-habs. “What makes this book stimulating are the perceptive and penetrating questions that Abu Ameenah raises… The book is important as it draws the Muslims’attention to self-criticism that is long overdue.”
