About This Item
Kegan Paul, 1989. First Edition. Hardcover with Dust Jacket. FINE/FINE. 504 pp. Large 8vo, sewn binding in burgundy hard covers with gilt stamped lettering. Exceedingly clean and sharp in like DJ, now wrapped in mylar. From the DJ: 'This is the only complete translation of Al-Muwatta of Imam Malik in Anas, the great jurist of Madina and founder of the Maliki School of Islamic Law. Considered by many to be, after the Qur'an, the most important book in Islam, Al-Muwatta is a complete record of the legal and social parameters of the original Muslim community in Madina. It contains the purest formulations of all the legal and societal norms derived from the text of the Qur'an and exemplified in the practice of the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad, and his companions. It is thus both the first book of Islamic law and the first recorded collection of Hadith. Al-Muwatta is an extremely important book for everyone interested in legal matters and the historical antecedents of present day legal practice and it is indispensable reading for all students of Islam and its history.'.
