Alhamdulillah,
I am passionate about this book. I do not collect any monetary gains from its sales. This would not clear me of other equally or more inferior self-interests. However, I genuinely believe that it will help many readers love the Sharia and recognize its mercy, relevance, and coherence. So, I will be posting about it periodically in-sha-Allah. Here is its conclusion:
The Sharia, based on the holy revelation (the Qur’an and Sunnah), sets out the way for believers to sustain a devotional relationship with their Creator and to treat His creation with justice and graciousness. In ‘Umdat al-Fiqh, Imam Ibn Qudâmah has produced a valuable resource by summarizing all the rules according to the Ḥanbali school; in these volumes, I have translated his authoritative manual and written a commentary on it. My commentary includes the views of the other schools of fiqh where warranted, and it addresses some contemporary issues, particularly those pertaining to Muslims living as minorities in non-Muslim societies. I augmented it with proofs from the revelation, as well as rational arguments, and expounded on some of the wisdoms of the legislation. Moreover, I used symbols and bullet points, as well as charts, tables, and graphs for simplification. This, I hope, will allow for the book to be utilized with ease and referred to as a primary source of fiqh.
وصلى الله على محمد والحمد لله رب العالمين
