The Glorious Legislation of Endowments






Alhamdulilah, Imam Muhammad Saeed Ramadan al-Bouti's, may Allah have mercy on him, article on how to revive endowments, or awqaaf, is now available from the Naseem al-Sham English site. The Arabic text can be located here and it was originally published in the Imam's book k Qaḍāyā Fiqhiyyah Muʿāṣirah (Damascus: Dār al-Fārābī, 2009). The translation will also be published in a forthcoming book on endowments, insha'Allah.

And with Allah alone is every success.

Wassalaam,

Mahdi

Assalamu alaikum sidi. Jazakallah khair for the blog. Do you know if Shaykh Buti's books "Kubra al Yaqeeniyyaat al Kawniyyah" and "As Salafiyyah" will be published in English?

Jazakallah khair.

Wa alaykum Assalaam Imran,

As-Salafiyyah was supposed to be translated and published by Sunni Publications in Holland, but I don't know what's happened.

As for Kubra al-Yaqeeniyaat al-Kawniyyah, they asked me to translate it initially, for them to publish it, but have now left the project to me entirely it seems. So far, I have only translated the chapter on evolution theory and the creation of man, which can be found here:

And with Allah is every success.

Wassalaam,

Mahdi

Wa alaykum Assalaam,

Jazakum Allah khayran for the message. I've checked both links and they're working; the Arabic one just takes a bit longer.

Wassalaam,

Mahdi
