A Critique Of The Ruling Of al-Taqlid By Muhammad ibn Ali al-Shawkani ISBN: 9781916475649 Author: Muhammad ibn Ali al-Shawkani Book BInding: Hardcover Pages: 232 Size: 8.5 x 6.0 x 0.7 inch Publication Year: 2020 Description About This Book: In the 18th century, eminent Islamic scholar and jurist Muhammad ibn Ali al-Shawkani wrote "A Critique of the Ruling of al-Taqlid." He provides a critical analysis of Taqlid's practice in Islamic jurisprudence in this work. Taqlid, the practice of adhering to religious judgments purely based on the views of well-known scholars without personally examining the evidence provided by the Quran and Hadith, which serve as the main sources of Islamic law, is defined as failing to do so. A large number of Muslims who follow this custom do so because they have faith in the knowledge and reliability of recognized scholars. Abu Dāwūd stated that Aḥmad said to him, “Do not make taqlīd of me, nor Mālik, al-Shāfiʿī, al-Awzāʿī or al-Thawrī; rather take from where they took.” [Masāʾil al-Imām Aḥmad (pp.276-277). Nawāb Ṣiddīq Ḥasan Khan relays, “He was the judge of the congregation, the shaykh of al-Islam, the muhaqqiq, the ʿallāmah, the imām, the sulṭān of the ʿulamā, the imām of the world, the seal of the ḥuffāẓ (i.e. major ḥadīth scholars) without dispute, the proof for debaters, the supreme in isnād and the foremost within the domain of al-ijtihād He did not see one similar to himself, and those who saw him did not see his likeness in knowledge and piety, and in standing for the truth with strength of character and preciseness of tongue He gained proficiency within all the rational and textual sciences. This was to the point that he reached the apex of human understanding, his power of examination was acceded to by both friend and foe, his excellence in the sciences of ijtihād was acknowledged, and [he became] the one to clarify the matters of subtlety within the religion. […] From his works is Nayl al-Awṭār Sharḥ Muntaqā al-Akhbār of Ibn Taymiyyah, in four volumes. The eye of time has not been adorned with its likeness in examination, nor has the entirety of time granted its similitude in attention to the smallest of detail.” [Summarised extracts from his biography in al-Tāj al-Mukallal (443-449)] The author states:  “One of the researching scholars amongst the people of knowledge requested me to compile a treatise for him that would contain affirmation of the truth regarding al-taqlīd, as to whether it is permissible or not, in a manner that no doubt would be left after it nor objection to it would be accepted. Since the questioner is one of the eminent scholars, the response will be in the manner of ilm al-munāẓarah (the science of dialectics).”

Abi Hatim al-Razi said: "No nation has existed since the creation of Adam, wherein its trustworthy ones memorize the narrations of the Messengers like this nation." Knowledge of Hadith is carried by the most worthy of people of every successive generation.

He authored a number of pioneering works in Hadith literature.  It is a privilege for Daar as-Sunnah to be publishing its first edition of 'Sharaf Ashābu'l Hadīth' of Imām Al-Khatīb al-Baghdādi for the English speaker.
