Muhammad Badr Al-Din Al-Balbani

Qala'id al-Iqyan Muhammad Badr Al-Din Al-Balbani

The summarization of Ibn ?amd?n's renowned creed by Ibn Balb?n has not only received widespread praise but has become the latter generation's golden standard and preferred teaching manual. The great Im?m Shaykh ?Abdull?h b. ??f?n al-Qadd?mi said that "the most renowned creed of our latter-day scholars is that of the master and educator, Shaykh Badr al-D?n, famously known as al-Balb?ni, who summarized it from Nih?yat al-Mubtadi??n f? Us?l al-D?n by the Im?m, Ibn ?amd?n". It was also this very book that Im?m al-Saff?r?ni studied and taught to several of his students from Najd as he indicated in the introduction of his book Law?mi? al-Anw?r al-Bahiyyah. By and large, Qala?id al-?Iqy?n, as it is most famously known, represents the canonized creed of the ?an?bilah. In this exquisite summarization, Ibn Balb?n captures the most important topics without delving into the details of evidence or scholastic debate. This work is intentionally concise to encourage mastery and memorization and should serve the disciple well on their journey to All?h and the home of the Hereafter.
