"Ask the people of the reminder if you do not know"(Al Qur'an 16:43)

Turath Publishing is dedicated to publishing authentic material on the Sunni Islamic Creed and in particular the Hanafi Fiqh (School of thought). Our aim is to show that all the four schools of thought are derived from the Prophetic Tradition and they are part and parcel of the religion, and in turn, Muslims can concentrate on more important issues that concern the Ummah.

At Turath Publishing we are committed to delivering works of Islamic Jurisprudence and its traditional sources to English speakers. By this, we intend - God Willing - to promote a deep understanding of the balance, depth and integrity of traditional Islamic scholarship.

Our vast intellectual heritage is a well from which we may draw life-giving inspiration and solutions to many of the contemporary problems we face as Muslims. To disparage and cast aspersions on the madhhabs (schools of thought) is to disparage and cast aspersions on those great men who expended their lives in making the Prophetic path distinctly clear from error. In their times, a living functioning Islamic polity, examples, and norms existed in their totality. These men were immersed in these living realities. They understood the religion of Islam existentially and combined this with the sources to which they had, to which we now have access.

Their judgements and comments are lights which aid us in illuminating the ocean that is the Sunnah in an age in which the immersion in a living Islamic situation (that they took for granted) does not even exist in thimblefuls. 

May Allah cause us to draw from their experience by the bucketful, granting us the benefit of the the ingredient that we so lack in this age and is the cause of so much misunderstanding, deviation and argument.
