We hope you're doing excellent inshallah. From time
to time, I plan to add some supplemental
information that I hope will animate
your understanding
and
your,
you know, your kind of
imagination around this text and this
subject because this is truly a journey that
we're taking together.
And many of these things are coming from
the notes I took from my teachers,
over the years.
And one of them is
the assumption
that the warakat,
which is, you know, only 10 pages. Right?
Sheikh al Mihaly,
his
explanation,
which is probably the most popular,
on the War Haqqat because it's the easiest.
It's around 40 pages.
That this is like
Imam Al Haramain's like
like, this is his, like, tarjihad
of Usul. Like, these are his, like, preferred
opinions and this is, like, his final say
in the science of Usul Ofilk. And that
actually is a big mistake.
The waraqat,
as we mentioned previously, was written
le elmobtare. Right? To invigorate,
and to inspire the beginner.
And if you pay attention to it and
how it's written in arabi you begin to
note that it's almost like a like a
summary of something
And, actually, it is.
And and the proof of this is that
Imam Al Haramain actually wrote a number of
texts in
for example, the first book
he ever wrote was
a
which is actually a summary
of
of Sayna Imam al Birkhilani.
So,
Talgisfi also lafook of Imam al Haramain
is actually
a summary. It's in 3 volumes. It's printed,
by the way, of the book
in by Sayidna Imam al Baqilani al Mariki.
Right? Which
is. That's the first book he ever wrote.
That's 3 volumes
The last book that he wrote in
is of course considered
a an anchor in the subject,
for the Malekis. It is really one of
the foundational text even though he was
al Burhan.
And that book,
you know, is like an oomda. It's like
a pillar.
And in that book, we find the tarjihad
of the imam,
like, his
his conclusions and his, like,
years of exerting his intellect to where he
he concludes on things.
I mean, Imam Abdul Malik,
ibn Abi Muhammad,
Imam Al Haramain Al Jawayni, is born like
410
after Hijarian dies like 478.
So he lived lived a long life.
But al Waraqaat
is actually
the summary
of aluma with ayn. Aluma
lumayin.
Alluma
of Imam
Abu Ishaqashirazi.
In fact, I heard from doctor Abdul Salam
who was my teacher in Al Azhar,
in Usul Al Fakk, one of teachers we
had. He was amazing,
That, you know, if you were to compare
and I haven't read the luma of, Shirazi
or studied it with anybody. He says, if
you were to compare the with the
of Sayna
Abi Ishaq al Shirazi. Like, it's like almost
like you're reading the same text.
So
is a summary of Kitab luma of Saydna
Abi Ishaq Asharazi
written to introduce
this important
subject to us.
And I hope inshallah this helps you kind
of understand where things are. And as we
begin this wonderful journey together, we ask
