A Believer’s Guide To Prayer (English) – Description

The ritual prayer, or salathas been described by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ as one of the five pillars of Islam. This annotated work includes two treatises that deal with specific aspects of the prayer. The first is by Shaykh Ahmad ibn Zayni Dahlan, and it outlines the importance of the prayer according to the sources of Islam and its early pious figures, the duty to perform the prayer in congregation and issues a stark warning against neglecting the prayer. The second is a legal manual detailing the rules of purification and prayer according to the Hanafi school of jurisprudence by Shaykh Hisham Burhani.

Shaykh Ahmad ibn Zayni Dahlan (d. 1304/ 1886) was the leading Shafi I mufti and scholar of Mecca in his time, and an authority on Islamic history. He authored, and personally published, numerous works on the Islamic sciences and history. 

Shaykh Hisham Burhani (d. 1435 / 2014) was a Syrian scholar and an authority in the Hanafr legal school. He served as a lecturer in the Faculty of Shariah at the University of Damascus, where he taught Islamic law (figh), legal theory (usul al-figh) and Qur’anic exegesis (tafsir).
