Commentary on the Initiation of Abu Laith As-Samarqandi Hanafi

About The Book The Commentary on 'The Initiation' is another rare text published by The Islamic Information Society. It further elucidates upon the source text by Abu Laith As-Samarqandi. This commentary is written by Qadi Zadah who was a leading figure in the Hanafi school in his time and he was also a descendant of the companion Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him). The book contains the original Arabic text of Abu Laith's 'Initiation' along with its translation and commentary. The text includes almost four hundred footnotes. It is at a similar level to the recently published Nur Al-Idah in terms of the level of fiqh and is an excellent tool for teachers of the Hanafi School also. It is an indispensable work that will assist the beginner as well as the intermediate student of knowledge in the field of Islamic Jurisprudence.
