Principi islamske jurisprudencije

Rate this book
Knjiga je većim dijelom posvećena izlaganju nauke usul el-fikha na način kako je nalazimo u pouzdanim izvorima. Također smo iskoristili priliku, posebno u novom izdanju, da ukažemo na značaj problematike usul el-fikha koja je postala predmetom promišljanja i polemike u moderno doba. Pitanja koja se tiču pojedinačnih doktrina usula tretirana su u relevantnim poglavljima ove knjige. Iznijeli smo prijedloge o mogućim prilagođavanjima i raspravljali o reformskim prijedlozima koje su muslimanski učenjaci iznijeli u skorije vrijeme. Prijedlozi o kojima smo raspravljali generalno tragaju za načinima i sredstvima koja će omogućiti da se pojedinačne doktrine usul el-fikha koriste u zakonodavnim i sudskim procesima savremenog sistema vladavine.

A very good read for a beginner in Usul al Fiqh. This is one of the very early attempts in English and this book is taught as a text at IIU, Malaysia and elsewhere and is amazing written and the details provided are very comprehensive. A chapter discussing Maqasid al Shari'ah has been also added in the new edition at the end.

A good outline of the principles of Islamic jurisprudence and their application is specific fields. Pretty much the standard for Islamic Jurisprudence (Usul al-Fiqh) in the English language. It explains most of the various methodological tools that are used in deriving law, often with examples too. Requires concentration, but accessible to those first seeking an introduction to the field with proper guidance.

Superb. That's an excellent english read about 'Usool Al-Fiqh. Probably one of the best-written ones yet. Loved every piece of it. I recommend it for students of the Islamic sciences, especially beside Imran Khan's 'Usool Al-Fiqh as a helping simplified tool tackling the same subject. Scholars complete one another, this is made manifest in their writings. M. Kamali's book is beneficial in grasping a nearly full understanding of 'Usool Al-Fiqh without specializing in a certain school of thought. It would take the student all the way to getting a well-grounded knowledge of that branch of science. Khan's book is a made-easy simplified book that would put the student's feet on the right track.

A very good introductory read to the principles of Islamic jurisprudence. The author excludes major chapters from the science and suffices mainly on the sources of Islamic law.

No better book to learn the basic principles of Islamic Fiqh and Shariah. Changed my perspective on Islam

Kamali did a good job with this one -- this is an invaluable introductory text for any non-speaker of Arabic looking to gain a thorough understanding of the basics of Islamic law. It's definitely an academic text, well-supported by legal proofs and arguments. Also gives a decent idea of the history of the evolution of the four schools of Sunni jurisprudence. If you want to know what "Shariah" really means, this is where to start.

Thorough, but not always clear when he is arguing from a particular perspective vs. giving the range of perspectives in the Islamic world. I recommend reading in conjunction with other texts on the same subject.
