Al-Hidayah

Al-Hidayah is a foundational text in Islamic jurisprudence, specifically within the Hanafi school of thought. Written by the Islamic scholar Burhan al-Din al-Marghinani in the 12th century, it serves as a comprehensive guide to legal principles and practices in Islam. The term "Al-Hidayah" translates to "The Guidance," reflecting its purpose of guiding scholars and students in understanding Islamic law (Sharia). The text covers various aspects of law, including rituals, contracts, and personal conduct, making it a key reference for legal education and religious practice in many Muslim communities.
