Mufti Muhammad Taqi Usmani is one of the leading Islamic scholars living today. He is an expert in the fields of Islamic Jurisprudence, Economics, Hadith and Tasawwuf. Born in Deoband in 1362H(1943 CE), he graduated par excellence form Dars e Nizami at Darul Uloom, Karachi, Pakistan. Then he specialized in Islamic Jurisprudence under the guidance of his eminent father, Mufti Muhammad Shafi, the late Grand Mufti of Pakistan. Since then, he has been teaching hadith and Fiqh at the Darul-Uloom, Karachi. He authored many books in Urdu, Arabic and English language.
I picked up this book on the recommendation of my teacher, Sh. Abdul Nasir Jangda, who has been a student of Mufti Muhammad Taqi Usmani. The author presents very logical and rational arguments backed with solid evidence. Yet the language of the book is simple enough that a novice reader can follow along with ease. I think this book goes hand-in-hand with Seerah (Life of the Holy Prophet) studies, as the two compliment one another ideally. P.S. This book is available all over the internet for free in PDF and other formats, so if you are okay with reading a digital copy do look it up.
