description: Imam Nawawi's classic manual of Islam, al-Maqasid, was first composed as a fiqh matn, or synopsis of the practical requirements of Islam -- faith, purification, the prayer, zakat, fasting, and pilgrimage -- for students to memorize. This English translation has been expanded to include explanative notes taken from Ahmad ibn Naqib's Umdat al-Salik, (The Reliance of the Traveler) to enhance its usefulness.
