Choicest and Countless Blessings upon our Beloved Prophet 
and His Holy Offspring and Companions

I have been told that Maulana Afthab Qasim has translated
some volumes of “Bahaar-e-Shariat”, the great work of the
great scholar Sadrush Shariah, Maulana Allama Amjadi Ali
Qaadiri Razavi Aazami.

May Allah accept this work and give him reward for his efforts.

The Kitaab before me, ‘Bahaar-e-Shariat’ is an exceptionally
beautiful English translation. The book consists of a vast
number of Shariah Rulings, to solve the issues and needs of
people which present themselves in their daily lives. The one
who practices and acts upon the Rulings and Laws mentioned
in this book will be able to fulfil his necessary requirements
and is also able to guard himself in an Islamic mould, it is this
which is the true objective in life.

Hazrat Maulana Afthab Cassim Saaheb deserves to be
commended, for the sentiment in his heart to inculcate true
Islamic teachings amongst the English speaking Muslims and
by doing so; he has fulfilled the debt (i.e. the obligation) of the
Ulama. (I pray that) Allah grants his efforts the acceptance and
gratitude that it deserves, granting him a generous reward
(Aameen). Maulana has compassion and sensitivity in his
heart in regards to keeping the Muslim Community established
7
and steadfast. It is for this reason that he is always absorbed in
writing and compiling Deeni books and engrossed in the
translation and compilation of numerous reliable Kitaabs, such
as ‘Kanz ul Imaan’ and Bahaar-e-Shariat which he has
translated in eloquent English.

He has also published the translations of numerous books in
English, allowing them to reach the homes of the English
speaking populace, causing the waves of Islam to rise
passionately within the hearts of thousands of people.

(I pray that) Allah grants Maulana superb reward and grants
him countless blessings in all accomplishments in his age and
in his religious affairs, granting him acceptance. (Aameen)

I was delighted to hear that the very diverse book ‘Bahaar-e-Shariat’,
by Sadrush Shariah Badrut Tariqah Hazrat Allama Hakeem
Muhammad Amjad Ali Aazmi ﻪﲪﺮﻟﺍ ﻪﻴﻠﻋ has been translated into English
by Hazrat Maulana Afthab Cassim Saaheb and is about to be
published. Since the mother tongue of the young Faadil is English,
this translation will definitely benefit those who read English. Even
though the translator has already translated other volumes of
Bahaar-e-Shariat but because Volume 16 deals with laws relating to
our daily lives and to Islamic Morals and Etiquettes that are
beneficial to both the experts and the general masses, it was
published first. In translating Bahaar e Shariat, the translator has
fulfilled a great need of the English speaking Muslims, especially
those in South Africa and in other countries where English is spoken.
Hazrat Maulana Muhammad Afthab Cassim Saaheb, has also
translated many parts of the world renowned Kanz ul Imaan, the
world renowned Translation of the Qur’an by A’la Hazrat Imam
Ahmed Raza Khan Muhadith-e-Bareilvi ﻪﲪﺮﻟﺍ ﻪﻴﻠﻋ.

It is my earnest Dua that Almighty Allah accepts these efforts of
Maulana, through the blessing of His Beloved Prophet  rewarding
him abundantly with a blessed reward.

An Introduction to Bahaar-e-Shariat
By Hazrat Maulana Qaisar Ali Razvi Misbahi

Bahaar-e-Shariat is the dynamic work of Khalifa-e-A’la Hazrat Sadrush
Shariah Badrut Tariqah Faqih-e-Azam Hazrat Allama Maulana Ash Shah
Amjad, Muhadith-e-Ghoswi (cid:1)ﻤﺣﺮﻟﺍ (cid:1)ﻴﻠﻋ. Bahaar-e-Shariat is without doubt an
‘Encyclopaedia of Hanafi Fiqh’ which has been a means of direction for the
Muslims for the last 95 years. Today, there is hardly a Darul Ifta that does
not carry a copy of Bahaar-e-Shariat. With the exception of Darul Iftas,
there are also numerous Mosques the world-over that have classes in which
the Bahaar-e-Shariat is taught to the worshippers; numerous Muslim
Colleges and Universities in the World have introduced Bahaar-e-Shariat as
a part of the syllabus for those studying to become Ulama. Undoubtedly, in
the present time, there has not been any other Book of Fiqh that has been
written in the Urdu language, which compares to Bahaar-e-Shariat. The
world-renowned ‘Fatawa Alamgiri’ was compiled by the devoted efforts of
hundreds of the most learned Ulama of the time but Qadi Sadrush Shariah
(cid:1)ﻤﺣﺮﻟﺍ (cid:1)ﻴﻠﻋ compiled a voluminous book like Bahaar-e-Shariat single handedly.
This great and memorable service of Faqih-e-Azam Qadi Sadrush Shariah
(cid:1)ﻤﺣﺮﻟﺍ (cid:1)ﻴﻠﻋ is of such magnitude, that the Muslim Ummah will forever remain
indebted to him. 17 Volumes were originally written by Sadrush Shariah
(cid:1)ﻤﺣﺮﻟﺍ (cid:1)ﻴﻠﻋ and due to ill health, he was not able to go any further, so the last
three Volumes were written by his students on his request. Bahaar-e-
Shariat is divided into volumes in the following format:

Volume 1 Book of Imaan and Aqaa’id (Correct Beliefs)
Volume 2 Book of Tahaarat (Purification)
Volume 3 Book of Salaah (Prayer)
Volume 4 Book of Salaah, Book of Illness & Death
Volume 5 Book of Zakaat (Alms)
Volume 6 Book of Hajj (Pilgrimage)
Volume 7 Book of Nikah (Marriage)
Volume 8 Book of Talaaq (Divorce)
Volume 9 Book of Slaves, Oaths, Expiation & Punishment
Volume 10 Book of Abandoned Children, Unclaimed Property, Missing
Person, Partnerships & Appropriations
Volume 11 Book of Sales
