Translator's Note, All praise is for Allah Ta'ala Who has given us the light of Islam and peace, and salutations upon the beloved Prophet of Allah who has shown and, guided us towards this very light. Upon the request of Mowlana Anwaar, Ahmed Sahib Amjadi (son of the original author of this book) and through, the inspiration of my teacher Mowlana Muhammad Igbal Sahib Misbahi, I, have endeavoured to translate the renowned book of Hazrat Mufti, Jalaaludeen Ahmed Amjadi, "Anwar-e-Shariat" for the vast English-, speaking audience present around the world., "Anwar-e-Shariat" is an excellent book which delivers an introductory, insight into the fundamental laws of Islam directly related to the day to day, activities of any individual. It consists of answers to the commonly posed, questions and eliminates many misconceptions, all of which are explained, in an extremely simple manner., The finest effort has been made to keep the translation as close to the, original text as possible to maintain its essence and accuracy. In some, cases, it was experienced that the translation of certain Islamic terms led to, prolonged phrases and sentences and hence to prevent this, the actual terms, were preserved. In particular, the explanations of common Islamic, terminology such as Fard, Wajib etc. are all mentioned in the chapter The, Discourse on the Terms of Shariat', also found in the original text., Finally, I would like to thank Mowlana Kalim Qadri for his finest efforts, for proofreading the translation which zwas completed during the last ten, days of Itikaaf in Ramadan. I ask Allah Ta'ala that He accepts this humble, effort of mine and make it a means of my forgiveness in the Hereafter., Ameen, Mohammed Khalid Husain, Ramadan 1429 AH - 15th October 2008, vi
