Essential Islamic Knowledge

Description

Essential Islamic Knowledge by Qadi Than’ullah Panipati (1731-1831 CE) gives a detailed explanation of the creed of ahl-as-Sunnah wal-Jama’ah, and goes on to describe the essential features of purification, Prayer, poor-dues, and fasting etc. It deals with issues that  should be known by everyone regarding the correct performance of these devotions, which Muslims generally have little knowledge of. Additionally, intricate matters such as God-fearing behaviour, social behaviour, one’s duties to others, individual and collective dealings, sales and purchases are also addressed, with both their correct and distorted forms highlighted. A section is also devoted to tazkiyah and Ihsan, the sincere worship of Allah and attaining to the true spirit of the faith.

This book deals with what is important regarding those issues which the average Muslim faces daily. As such it is an invaluable guide to the basic Islamic tenets for the common Muslim and for young people making their entry into adulthood.
