subhanala
I am looking forward to it coming out.
thanks for letting us know.
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.
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.
Is it out yet? If so where can we purchase it? I dont see it on Taha Publishers website
It’s the 1st of May where can I purchase the book?
The publishers haven’t notified yet that it is printed.
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
How many pages is this book?
Somewhere short of a thousand.
What price will this book be?
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.
Abdassamad
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.
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)
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.
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)
Insha’Allah it should get into the hands of the US distributors quite quickly. Abdassamad
I’ve got one. It’s sublime.
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?
HUbooks in the UK are currently stocking this with a flat rate shipping charge by surface mail worldwide for £2.50 (approx $2) Airmail shipping can be arranged on request for a quicker service.

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.
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?
It’s now available in many many places. Here too:

The quality of print and translation is excellent, price is cheap for what it is. Definitely recommended to all.
All those places are in UK. I wonder why it is taking so long to reach USA?
Brother Ali, I think it’s best to check with publishers (www.taha.co.uk).
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?
Try Zaytuna. They might have some in stock, though they are not distributors or retailers.
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.
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.
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.

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.

Jazak Allah khayran

I’ve got a copy now – absolutely fantastic! They say, never judge a book by its cover, well this one you definitely can. Beautiful.
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.
Amin.
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!
Amin, and him too.
salam,
I am becoming an islamic scholar, I am reading this book in Arabic and shocked to see this in English. I want its PDF but I cannot buy this, Can anyone give this to me “free of cost”.

Regrettably, I don’t have extra copies of the book, and you should write to the publishers.
Jazakumullahu khairan.Though i would like to read the book but i don’t have the money to buy it, Please can somebody produce it in a free PDF version for people like me to be able to update our religious knowledge.
Regrettably we can’t do that, but we do recommend that, rather than books, you seek out knowledgeable people from whom to learn.
