The Author

Qāḍī Thānā’ullāh Pānīpatī ﵀ (d. 1225 AH)

The historic city of Panipat (Haryana, India) was the ancestral origin of Qadi Thanaullah Panipati ﵀, who represents an exquisite synthesis of rigid legal precision and profound spiritual refinement. Showing unmatched intellectual brilliance at a young age, he memorised the Holy Qur’an by seven and completed his advanced hadith and legal studies in Delhi in record time under the premier muhadith of the East, Shah Waliullah al-Dehlawi ﵀. He achieved a level of multi-disciplinary mastery that made him a legendary authority across northern India, successfully synthesizing the analytical paths of Hanafi jurisprudence with the inner spiritual cultivation of the Naqshbandi Sufi order as a premier disciple of the Mirza Mazhar Jan-e-Janan ﵀.

His career was forged during the chaotic decline of the Mughal Empire, witnessing first-hand the destructive regional Maratha invasions and the breakdown of social law and order around Delhi. Stepping into the role of Chief Justice (Qadi) of Panipat, he firmly implemented judicial justice and turned his courtroom into an unyielding fortress of truth. He repeatedly stared down armed regional warlords who entered his court seeking unlawful exemptions, boldly telling them that a judge who fears the fire of Hell cannot fear the swords of men. Refusing lucrative bribes from colonial administrators who sought to co-opt his legal standing, he chose material simplicity and protected vulnerable citizens despite ongoing geopolitical unrest.

This unwavering dedication to unadulterated truth anchors his monumental literary contributions. His greatest scholarly effort was Tafsir al-Mazhari, a highly regarded multi-volume Qur’anic commentary named after his spiritual mentor, which masterfully balances literal linguistic analysis, legal rulings, and inner spiritual realities. His legal acumen is also preserved in advanced treatises like Al-Maladhul-Muttaqin and Risalah fi al-Ushoor, distilled his command of Hanafi fiqh into the essential primer, Essential Islamic Knowledge (Mā Lā Budda Minhu).

    This is the English translation of a classical Hanafi fiqh manual. I found it very useful

  2. AJ –

    “This book looks at the pillars of Islam primarily from the hanafi fiqh perspective and does give reference to the other madhabs on occasion. The author provides notes at the end of each chapter which elaborates further.

    Overall a good book to use as reference.”
