Description: The Evolution of Fiqh Islamic Law & The Madh habs By Dr. Abu Ameenah Bilal Philips ISBN: 9789960981307 In the Evolution of Fiqh (Islamic Law & the Madh-habs). The author very dearly presents a brief overview of the historical development of Islamic law and its schools (the madh·hahs). The book identities the main reason for the appearance of the madh-habs and the factors leading to differences among them. For those to whom the madh-habs have been a mystery'. this aspect of the book will be extremely enlightening. Although the author sheds lighe on both the positive and ncgative roles of the madh-habs in the past, the main message of the book is a call to the understanding of logistic differences (with an aim to remove them where possible), and a proposal for the unification of the madh-habs. "What makes this book stimulating are the perceptive and penetrating questions that Abu. Ameenah raises ... The book is important as it draws the Muslims' attention to self-criticism that is long overdue" - Dr. Abdur Rahman Doi , Muslim World Book Review, Vol 10, no.4, 1990 "In this book the author ... presents the subject in such un attractive and lucid manner''- that I could not part from it once I started reading it, finishing it in one sitting" - M.M.
