Al-Nawawi's Manual of Islam

Imam Nawawi's classic manual of Islam, al-Maqasid, was first composed as a fiqh matn, or synopsis of the practical requirements of Islam-faith, purification, the prayer, charity, fasting, and pilgrimage-for students to memorise. The handbook's clear and concise style will help anyone seeking to learn the essentials of Islamic practice and spirituality from a reliable, traditional source.
