AMAUUsulu Al Fiqh: is the study and critical analysis of the origins, sources, and principles upon which Islamic jurisprudence is based. Traditionally four main sources (Qur’an, Sunnah, Consensus (Ijma), Analogical reason (Qiyas)) are analysed along with a number of secondary sources and principles. The main subject areas of discussion comprise: 1- General evidences and principles (adillah ijmalliya wa al-qawaid) 2- Resolution of conflict and discrepancy (ta'adal wa tarjeeh) 3- Determination of rules and adoption/emulation of rules (ijtihad wa taqlid) 4- Islamic Law (hukm shari) Al Waraqaat is a foundational primer to the science of Usool Ul Fiqh by Imam Al Juwayni. Imam Al Juwayni inherited his understanding from Imam Mohammad Ibn Idris Al Shaf'i himself, who is the first author of this field. Scholars of the present and past both unanimously accept this text as it provides a valuable introduction to Usool Ul Fiqh. Meanwhile, this book is concise, its passages are full of deep meaning.
