Usoolu-Shashi English

Heavenly Ornaments (Bahishti Zewar) is a comprehensive manual of Islamic sacred law (Hanafi Fiqh), originally written in Urdu with Muslim women in mind. It serves as a guide encompassing religious and temporal information, covering various aspects of Islamic practices and daily life. While initially aimed at women, the book also provides valuable insights for men and scholars.

The Proof of the perfection of the religion of Islam is its practical implementation in every time and era. Allah Ta'ala chose the illustrious Fuqaha (Jurists) to analyze contemporary issues in the light of the Quran, Ahadith and Juridical principles and guide the Ummah to practice on the Shar'ah. Thus the practical implementation of Islam remained alive until today.

This edition presents the original matn (Al-Waraqat) alongside the commentary by Imam al-Mahalli. It serves as an introductory text for students delving into Usul al-Fiqh, elucidating fundamental principles of Islamic jurisprudence.
