I have read this book as part of an online course.

The book is straight to the point giving the reader the fundamentals of Islam - fasting, prayers, Friday pray, aqeedeh etc.

It is derived from the Imam al-Shafi'i school of thought.

Excellent

Short and sweet way of grasping the fundamentals. Suitable for adults, children, and new Muslims. A basic yet comprehensive guide.
