What comprehensive, authoritative, and concise books do you recommend regarding divine laws, definitive Islamic rulings, the objectives of Sharia (especially those that aid in understanding the Muwafaqat), major jurisprudential maxims, a concise Islamic history, and a compilation of the Mutawatir recitations?
We ask Allah Almighty to guide the questioner to the path of the people of knowledge. We will recommend one book for each subject:
1. Divine Laws (Sunan): The book: (Al-Sunan Al-Ilahiyyah fi Al-Umam wa Al-Jama’at wa Al-Afrad fi Al-Shari’ah Al-Islamiyyah) by Abdul Karim Zaidan. 2. Authoritative Islamic Principles (Textual and Rational): We have not come across a comprehensive book on this topic. 3. Objectives of (Maqasid al-Sharia): The book: (Al-Bahth fi Maqasid al-Shari’ah: Nash’atuhu, wa Tatamuwurruhu, wa Mustaqbaluhu) by Ahmed Al-Raysuni. 4. Major Juristic Maxims (Qawa'id Fiqhiyyah Kulliayyah): The book: (Al-Wajiz fi Idah Qawa'id Al-Fiqh Al-Kulliyyah) by Muhammad Al-Bourno. 5. Islamic History (Concise): The book: (Mujaz Al-Tareekh Al-Islami Mundhu Ahd Adam Alayhi Al-Salam ila Asrina Al-Hadhir) by Ahmed Al-Asiri. 6. Historical Encyclopedias: (Tareekh Al-Islam) by Al-Hafiz Al-Dhahabi, verified by Bashar Awwad Ma'rouf. 7.
