Paper Back 512 Pages
Published by Madinah Press
Kitab Ash-shifa bi tarif huqub al-Mustafa, (Healing by the recognition of the
Rights of the Chosen One), of Qadi Iyad is perhaps the most frequently used and
most commented upon handbook in which the Prophets life, his qualities and
miracles are described in every detail. This book is highly admired throughout
the Muslim world and is quick to acquaint the reader with the true stature of
the Prophet saw.
Ash-Shifa gathers together all that is necessary
to acquaint the reader with the true stature of the prophet, peace and blessing
be upon him, with esteem and respect which is due to him, and with the verdict
regarding anyone who dares not fulfill what his stature demands or who attempts
to denigrate his supreme status - even by as much as a nail pairing.
