  1. subhanala

    I am looking forward to it coming out.

    thanks for letting us know.

  2. Masha’Allah, this seems to be a translation of very high quality. Great effort indeed. Very well done Shaykh Tahir Mahmood Kiani and well done Ta-Ha Publishers.

    Jazakum Allahu ahsan al-jazaa.

  3. Shaykh Tahir Mehmood Kiani has brought a skilful hand to the task of producing a precise and readable english version of Qudoori this book will be appreciated by readers keen on expanding their acquaintance with hanafi literature.

  4. Is it out yet? If so where can we purchase it? I dont see it on Taha Publishers website

  5. It would be nice if a translation of Maliki fiqh (like mukhtasar khalil or risala ibn abi zayd) was out. Zaytuna is taking too long translating ibn ashir and al akhdari

  6. I don’t know as yet. I do know that the first copies arrived at the publishers a couple of days ago and the consignment is expected quite soon, so I am sure that they will post details of it on their website: http://www.taha.co.uk insha’Allah.

  7. In sha Allah.

    I pray Allah blesses all those involved with more knowledge, wisdom and ability to practice, especially Shaykh Imam Tahir Mahmood al-Kiani, who gas undertaken such an important task for the Muslims.

  8. I once went to see Imam Tahir Mahmood al-Kiani speak at a conference in Birmingham. Ma shallah, the audience was comprised of Urdu and English speakers and the Imam spoke in Arabic, Urdu and English, side-by-side. I’m sure this translation will be of immense benefit to the Muslims as well as to non-Muslims. Allah bless him abundantly… Amin. (Memuna Khan, Inter-Faith & Multicultural Coordinator)

  9. I saw the book on the Taha publishers website. The cost is 40 British pounds which is a little over $59 US Dollars. When is it coming out in the USA? I dont feel like paying massive shipping.

  10. SubhanAllah.

    I’ve waited a long time for this. Judging by the Intro, it surely must be a masterpiece.

    Allah bless Sheikh Imam Tahir al-Kiani, his parents, and all the crew down at Taha for their selfless service.

    (p.s. & £40 is peanuts for this quality)

  11. I haven’t seen any U.S. store carry it yet. Any news on when it will be shipped to islamicbookstore.com, astrolabe.com, alrashad.com, etc?

  12. I bought mine from an Islamic educational centre – something they did not want to sell because they did not have many copies. They tell me they have had to buy 100 more from the publishers because they have been inundated by purchase requests from the public and have sold off the initial 50 they had bought for their ‘own’ students.
    Suban Allah.

  13. I hope when it comes to North America it is priced accordingly. The Nur al Idah was also initially overpriced for North Americans but it was adjusted after getting here. By the way anyone know when it is coming to North America?

  14. The quality of print and translation is excellent, price is cheap for what it is. Definitely recommended to all.

  15. Publisher wasnt very helpful. They said the US distributor was IB Publishing. Called them they didnt even have it in stock. Does anyone else know when the book is coming out in US?

  16. Try Zaytuna. They might have some in stock, though they are not distributors or retailers.

  17. I finally got my book from IB publishers. I think the book is a good addition to the translated hanafi works out there. I wish there was more commentary in it. I guess I have to wait for Turath’s Lubab Sharh al Kitab to come out.

  18. Nice one, Ali.
    I guess the author did not intend it to be a commentary but a simple translation – something which he states in the introduction.
    Anyhow, there are glimpses of fine commentatorship throughout the book.
    Its justice done to the book.

  19. I bought myself a copy – it got stolen by a ‘friend’ – I bought 5 more and gave 4 out to other friends.
    It’s a great piece of work for people of all fields of life.
    Really cool job these guys have done.
    Tarik

  20. As salamu alaykum Saheb

    Good news for us, it’s an good works for the students and others who is interesting to the hanafi madhhab

    the commentary who was taken in this page is sufficient

    “I’ve waited a long time for this. Judging by the Intro, it surely must be a masterpiece.

    Allah bless Sheikh Imam Tahir al-Kiani, his parents, and all the crew down at Taha for their selfless service”

    Jazak Allah khayran

    was salam

  21. I’ve got a copy now – absolutely fantastic! They say, never judge a book by its cover, well this one you definitely can. Beautiful.

  22. Imam Tahir al-Kiani’s mother died just one month before publication of this book – Allah bless her with the best of the next. Amin.

  23. May Allah bless the parents of Shaykh al-Kiani.
    He has done a wonderful job in producing something that was needed in the English language.
    What an excellent piece!
