Book of Purification by Yusuf Al-Hajj Ahmad

Nowadays, “what is a key to a better life?” has become a popular question. Wouldn’t you go to Him to get the cure? If the creator of a car says that you have to put gas in it for it to run, would you not listen to them over a person who says to put water in your car? In this day in age, we are sadly disconnected from nature and Islamic medicine that we could be using to prevent diseases and illnesses.Ībdullah ibn Mas’ud reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Allah did not send down any disease but that he also sent its cure.” (Sunan Ibn Mājah 3438) Do you turn to cough drops or honey? Do you turn to pills or do you turn to kalonji (black seeds)? Imagine that the one Who created you, also created a remedy for every single illness He put into existence. Now think about what you turn to when you get sick. After all, He is the most Merciful and Just. Allah (SWT) would not create a sickness and then not give us a cure. With these diseases must come a treatment. We live in a time where we are surrounded by diseases and sicknesses of all kinds. Translators and editors: Nasiruddin al-Khattab and Huda Khattab. Generations of scholars and layman alike have been taught the Nur al-idah, which gives them sufficient grounding in the basic masaâil they encounter daily.Book Name: Islamic Medicine – The key to a better life

The Nur al-idah is a classical text on sacred law, and for generations has been one of the most widely taught texts used to transmit Hanafi fiqh. This book is based on the teachings of Abu Hanifa and his students, namely Imam Muhammad, Abu Yusuf and Zufar and will provide the reader with a brief look as to why the Hanafi Madhhab is the most widely embraced in the world today.Īhmad Ibn Hanbal said, âIf in any matter there is agreement between three people, then one pays no attention to the verdict of anyone who disagrees with them.â Someone asked him, âWho are they?â He answered, âAbu Hanifa, Abu Yusuf and Muhammad Ibn al-Hasan.' It is practical, sensible and can be used as a reference book. It reveals in a small way as to why the Hanafi Madhhab is held in such high esteem from scholars all over the world. It leaves the student or general reader well prepared to deal with the majority of matters ranging from purification, prayer, funerals, zakah to hajj.

Nur al-Idah is a Hanafi text which includes vast areas of jurisprudence, namely, the rulings pertaining to worship.
