Al-Nihayah: A Concise Description of Islamic Law and Legal Opinions (al-Nihayah fi Mujarrad al-Fiqh wa al-Fatawa)

Islam is an all inclusive way of life which covers the intellect and the real, the theoretical and the practical. The major part of the Islamic code of practice and behavior is formalised in the discipline of Islamic law which established itself as a discipline before other Islamic disciplines. The early Muslim jurisconsultants are to be credited as the pioneers of the development of the Islamic legal system. Shaikh Mohammad ibn Hasan ibn 'Ali Abu Ja'far al-Tusi (385-460 AH/995-1067 AD), who was given the honorary title of Shaikh al-Ta'ifat al-Imamiyyah (The Head of the Shi'a Islamic School) was at the orefront of these pioneers. His book Al-Nihayah fi Mojarrad al-Fiqh wa al-Fatawa (A Concise Description of Islamic Law and Legal Opinions) has been recognised as one of the major early sources, references and textbooks in the field of Islamic Law in general and of Shi'a Islamic law in particular. This book has been translated, edited and introduced by Professor A. Ezzati, and published by ICAS Press as the present volume.

ISLAMIC SYSTEM – A BRIEF OVERVIEW

The force of singularity co-exists with absolute and limitless/boundless absolute vacuum. Whenever there is such a vacuum, it shall simultaneously converge into the force of singularity/God. However we can logically understand that it was to happen only once. It is the beginning. The intelligent force of singularity, by the formula known now, converted a part of it into the material universe consisting of four basic forces and the matter/anti-matter. The planet earth and the human being is the end product. Human race is the only creature with a choice of reversion to the spiritual mode of existence by following the basic commandments of God to the maximum possible extent through the journey of life. It is the object of creation. A companionship for God. For this purpose God has revealed these commandments through the Abrahamic religion, the last three nodes of which were uncovered through Moses, Jesus and Muhammad. Moses gave Ten Commandments which are required to be acted upon so as to distinguish human life from the other biological forms of existence. Jesus taught the way for elevation of personal human character. Muhammad completed the process by providing the guideline for building the social infrastructure/institutions with the help of elevated personal human characters in such a way that life may become pleasant and fruitful for all on the one hand and properly oriented towards its ultimate object on the other. However the Muslim scholars miserably failed to keep up pace with the growing dimensions of human society and tried to confine the enlightened generic teachings of Islam to the tribal and primitive infrastructure of human living which has created a lot of confusion and misdirection. This book tries to highlight the true features of the eternal truth described through the last node of Divine guidance, while doing away the mist of misunderstanding and misdirection. It’s a must reading, at least for the Muslims, to be on track, so as to save their lives from being wasted in futility. Life is to be directed towards ultimate goodness in the social mode so as to create wholesome sustainability for the individual modes as well in the long run.
