just realised another update. version 1.3 --- fixed punctuation errors; a couple of sentences were reworded for clarity (will be unnoticeable). cleaned up book list in the bahar appraisal appendix (i discovered that the list i had copied from an article had duplicates and also did not have diacritics. that is now fixed with names of authors in brackets). ToC is also now fixed - previously some page numbers were off. --- please discard all older versions and use the 1.3 ver. anyone encounters errors, please inform - jazakumAllah khayran.
Jee, the current one being used is v1.2 and the benefit of Print on Demand is that it allows me to update with a new file whenever Alhamdulillah.
please use the latest version; and if possible, replace when the new update comes along. as of now, most errors are weeded out - and in sha'Allah we will have a stable release in a few days (if there are any further updates}

Post here. no p but it will help if you can mention the word (in case of typo) - else i have to hunt for it. after looking at the text for long hours, i will not be able to pick out teh from the. also when mentioning page number, please mention the page number as printed on the page; not the PDF page number (as it includes preface, intro, ToC front page etc.)
Ma Sha Allah, amazing work! May Allah SubHan Wata’la reward you immensely. Not sure if this is where to list minor corrections but page 2 first paragraph there is a typo and page 124, note 656 is incomplete.
Download Here Book Release : Splendour of the Sacred Way Annotated Translation of Bahar-e-Shariat Volume 1: Faith & Doctrine Bahar-e-Shari'at is a prominent work of Hanafi Fiqh in the Urdu language. Undoubtedly, it ranks amongst the masterpieces of Hanafi Fiqh works of the last century, acclaimed for its encyclopaedic nature, clarity and accessibility. The author, Sadr al-Shariah Imam Amjad Ali al-A'zami, was a polymath whose expertise encompassed many sciences, including the rational sciences, creed, and hadith; however, he is best known for his mastery of Hanafi Fiqh. In a departure from the norm, he preceded the chapters on Fiqh with an extensive chapter on ‘aqidah, expounding on the orthodox creed of Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jam’ah and refuting heresies that had become rife in his time and were threatening the faith of common Muslims. That chapter on creed has now been translated into the English language in a superlative manner. The translator, Abu Hasan, has endeavoured to make this translation an extremely thorough and well-researched piece - with over 1200 footnotes copious appendices and end notes. The footnotes include such details as: the takhrij of the Hadiths quoted by the author, explanation of creedal nuances wherever relevant, linguistic and historical details, and other finer academic points. The translator makes minimum assumptions about his readers and goes out of his way to ensure that they understand every word and concept mentioned by the author technical terms have been explained and difficult concepts are supported with commentary to aid the reader. - either in adjoining parentheses, or in a footnote. Where footnotes alone were found insufficient to convey the full import of the text, comprehensive appendices and end-notes have been added to assist the reader further to develop a wholesome understanding of the matter at hand. The result is a work that is not only accessible to the general reader but also be a treasure trove for students of knowledge and scholars alike. Splendour of the Sacred Way is an Annotated Translation of Bahar-e-Shari'at is a must read for anyone interested in learning the fundamentals of their faith as well as those looking to gain a sound understanding and comprehension of doctrinal matters. May Allah bless the author, Imam Ajmad Ali, and the translator, Shaykh Abu Hasan, and allow us to benefit from their knowledge.
