Al-Murshid al-Mu'een

Bought this for my husband. He loves reading and gaining knowledge. He really enjoyed this book

Excellent read. There are volumes with thousands of pages out there for each category that this poem summarizes in a few verses. Just the scholarship and artistry needed to do that is something to behold. Translation is done well too. Since reading it, I have also gotten the commentary on the poem, “Islam in the School of Madina”. That is a thick book so going through that slowly but have found it to be highly beneficial and would recommend it.

This is a credible translation of a basic text in Maliki fiqh. Yate is the translator; the author is Ibn Ashir. The English is good, not excellent, and the transliteration of primary terms is irritatingly imprecise, which ought to matter if you are a serious student of Maliki fiqh. It includes the Arabic text in clear, vowelled print. Don't believe you can pick this up and become an orthopractic Maliki; it's basic, but not simple. That stuff needs to be learned from people, not books.

Malik fiqh must have in my Islamic library! I follow the Qur'an and Sunnah according to the understanding of Imam Malik ibn Anas ( H.W.O.N.)

Very concised!

A beautiful poem and a very nice translation.

Good book, bad editing and typesetting

Extremely beneficial content but sadly arrived with huge (coffee?) stains. I’ll keep it for the books sake but the stains are annoying and displeasing while studying.
