Böcker av Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

'The Sunna is the first subsidiary source (masdar far¿i) after the Qur'an among the sources of Islamic law. We describe it as a subsidiary source because it is the Qur'an that actually indicated that it is a source, and the basis of everything is the Qur'an. The Qur'an commanded us to follow the messenger of Allah: therefore we follow the messenger of Allah.'-Shaykh Muhammad Säid Ibn Mulla Ramadan al-Buti"The meaning of the expression Binding Proof of the Sunnah is that the Sunna points to the judgment of Allah Most High, either as definitive knowledge (¿ilm) or as as probable knowledge (zann), bringing it out and disclosing it for us. We understand the Divine rulings by means of the Sunna and it becomes binding upon us to put its content into practice, So the real meaning of the Sunna as binding proof is exposition and proof-inference necessitating obligatory practice of their results because the latter is the Divine decision." ~Dr. ¿Abd al-Ghani ibn ¿Abd al-KhaliqThe book also contains the translation of Imam Ibn Hajar al-¿Asqalani's explanation of the Hadith on Islam, Iman and Ihsan also known as Gibril's hadith from Fathul-Bari.ABOUT THE AUTHORAuthor of Four Imams and Their Schools, The Musnad of Ahl al-Bayt, The Muhammadan Light and other works, Shaykh Gibril Haddad has translated from Arabic to English: Qadi al-Nabahani's The Prophet Muhammad's Knowledge of the Unseen, Imam al-Baydawi's The Lights of Revelation and the Secrets of Interpretation: Hizb One of the Commentary on the Quran and many other works.Born in Beirut in 1960, Dr. Haddad embraced Islam while a graduate student in French Literature at Columbia University in New York.

Sayyidina ¿Umar during his caliphate gathered the multifarious groups praying tarawih into a single congregation. Ubay ibn Käb said: 'This was not done before!" Sayyidina ¿Umar said "I am fully aware of this, but it is excellent!" He also said: 'What a fine innovation this is."¿¿Nowhere in the field of Islamic jurisprudence is a blatant tampering with the truth felt more than in the redefinition of "Sunna" and "bid'a". The understanding of for these terms is arrogantly cast aside. The crystal-clear distinction of the pious Salaf such as Imam al-Shafi'i, "Bid'a is of two kinds; praiseworthy innovation and blameworthy innovation" is being abandoned, while later, controversial figures are invoked as "more representative of the Salaf".The intent of this book is to do away with these perilous misconceptions and to present over 160 proofs for the Sunni understanding of Sunna and bid'a as set forth in classical, moderate, mainstream Islam according to the Sunni Salaf and Khalaf, including the four Schools of Fiqh. Additionally, the book provides case studies on topics such as collective supplication, partitions for women in mosques, and proofs for visitation of graves by women.
