The Branches of ?m?n is a translation of Mukhta?ar Shu?bul ?m?n by Im?m Qazw?ni . It is an abridgement of the Branches of ?m?n by Im?m Bayhaqi which in reality is a commentary of a single ?ad?th of Rasulull?h ? in which he taught that "?m?n has sixty-odd, or seventy-odd branches, the highest and best of which is to declare that there is no one worthy of worship except All?h, and the lowest of which is to remove something harmful from the path. And that modesty is a branch of ?m?n."Rasulullah ? captured and placed in the heart of his ummah the beauty of ?m?n. There are high branches and low branches. He mentioned three in the ?ad?th but indicated that there are many more.Im?m Bayhaqi endeavoured to compile all the narrations related to ?m?n and its branches. This compilation reached six volumes and out of the grasp of the layman and more suited to the research scholars. Imam Qazw?ni abridged the original into the short treatise before you which is accessible to all.When a Muslim strives to become a true and complete Mu?min, then he must learn and recognise within himself the signs of ?m?n or the lack thereof. All?h Ta??la and his Messenger ? has told us these signs so we can struggle and pray that he blesses us with a perfect faith before we die.Branches of ?m?n is also a presentation of the fundamental beliefs of Isl?m and can be utilised for teaching Aq?da without resorting to historical polemical debates. Finally, Im?m Qazw?ni masterfully quotes from the greatest ??li??n of this ummah where required to show the spiritual significance of these branches.

The Book of Good Manners - Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) said: Messenger of Allah came to me while I was playing with the boys. He greeted us and sent me on an errand. This delayed my return to my mother. When I came to her, she asked, "What detained you?" I said; "Messenger of Allah sent me on an errand." She asked, "What was it?" I said, "It is a secret." My mother said; "Do not disclose to anyone the secret of Messenger of Allah." Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) said to Thabit (May Allah be pleased with him): By Allah, were I to tell it to anyone I would have told you.

In 1105, six years after the first crusaders from Europe conquered Jerusalem, a Damascene Muslim jurisprudent named ’Ali ibn Tahir al-Sulami (d. 1106) publicly dictated an extended call to the military jihad (holy war) against the European invaders. Entitled Kitab al-Jihad (The Book of the Jihad), al-Sulami’s work both summoned his Muslim brethren to the jihad and instructed them in the manner in which it ought to be conducted, covering topics as diverse as who should fight and be fought, treatment of prisoners and plunder, and the need for participants to fight their own inner sinfulness before turning their efforts against the enemy. Al-Sulami’s text is vital for a complete understanding of the Muslim reaction to the crusades, providing the reader with the first contemporary record of Muslim preaching against the crusaders. However, until recently only a small part of the text has been studied by modern scholars, as it has remained for the most part an unedited manuscript. In this book Niall Christie provides a complete edition and the first full English translation of the extant sections (parts 2, 8, 9 and 12) of the manuscript of al-Sulami’s work, making it fully available to modern readers for the first time. These are accompanied by an introductory study exploring the techniques that the author uses to motivate his audience, the precedents that influenced his work, and possible directions for future study of the text. In addition, an appendix provides translations of jihad sermons by Ibn Nubata al-Fariqi (d. 985), a preacher from Asia Minor whose rhetorical style was highly influential in the development of al-Sulami’s work.
