Al-Fiqh al-Akbar Explained English Shaykh al-Maghnisawi

Shaykh Abul Muntaha Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Maghnisawi’s commentary on Imam Abu Hanifa’s seminal work, “Al-Fiqh al-Akbar,” provides a concise, authoritative, and widely accepted explanation of the core principles of Sunni Islamic creed (`Aqida). As one of the earliest surviving texts on theology, the original work tackles fundamental issues like the Oneness of God (Tawhid), Divine Attributes, Predestination, and the nature of Iman (faith), all through the lens of the Maturidi/Hanafi school. Al-Maghnisawi’s Sharh (explanation) makes these essential theological concepts accessible, serving as a vital reference for students and scholars seeking a firm grasp on orthodox doctrine in a turbulent intellectual landscape.
