Reviews

A Treasury of Sacred Maxims did not disappoint; in fact it added to a key under represented area of fiqh. A deceptively succinct text that covers forty legal Maxims but goes beyond a mere introduction. One would expect a legal discussion, however Dr. Shahrul Hussain has added a moral aspect to each legal maxim. An excellent text which can be memorised alongside a primer fiqh text in any Islamic studies curriculum. -- Mufti Amjad M Mohammed This inspiring collection... will help deepen the understanding of key aspects of Shariah in its legal and ethical dimensions. -- Islamic Voice A little book with loads of wisdom. -- Islamic Voice
