Explanation of the Book of Kifayatul Akhyar By Sheikh al-Imam Taqiyuddin Abu Bakr

This Android application is an explanation of the Book of Kifayatul Akhyar by Sheikh al-Imam Taqiyuddin Abu Bakr bin Muhammad al-Husaini al-Hishni al-Dimasyqi al-Syafi'i. In PDF format.

The book of Kifayah al-Akhyar is a book of fiqh which is quite well known in the al-Shafi'i school of thought. It was compiled by Sheikh al-Imam Taqiyuddin Abu Bakr bin Muhammad al-Husaini al-Hishni al-Dimasyqi al-Syafi'i. A scholar of the al-Shafi'i school who was born around the 9th century Hijrah.

The full name of this book is “Kifayatu Al-Akhyar Fi Halli Ghoyati Al-Ikhtishor” (كفاية الأخيار في حل غاية الاختصار). The meaning of "kifayah" is "sufficient". The pronunciation of "Al-Akhyar" is the plural form of "khoir" which can be interpreted as "the best human being". "Hall" can be interpreted as "decompose". So, as a whole, the meaning of this book is as if it is intended as a book whose contents are sufficient for good people who want to study religion (or represent the best scholars in terms of giving lectures), namely by explaining, explaining and giving advice on a book called "Ghoyatu Al -Ikhtishor".

This book is sometimes called and shortened to "Al-Kifayah" (الكفاية). It's just that this mention needs to be careful. The reason is, among the mutaqoddimin, if they are called "Al-Kifayah", their perception is "Kifayatu Al-Nabih" by Ibn Ar-Rif'ah which is a syarah from the book "At-Tanbih" by Asy-Syirozi. The difference between these two "Kifayah" must be considered because there is often ambiguity among students of knowledge. The mention of "Al-Kifayah" means "Kifayatu Al-Akhyar" if it is mentioned after the Al-Hishni period (829 H).

This book was written by Taqiyyuddin Abu Bakr bin Muhammad Al-Hishni. In short, it is called Al-Hishni or Taqiyyuddin Al-Hishni. The people are virtuous, friendly to their students, happy to make friends, and authoritative. He is not only a fiqh expert but also a hadith expert. Among his works on hadith is his takhrij on the book Ihya' Ulumiddin by Al-Ghozzali. Unfortunately this work is not finished.

The target of writing this book is two kinds of people, as explained by Al-Hishni himself. First; people who have dependents who do not have the opportunity to start dating with the clergy. Second: Salik (worship expert) who focuses on his worship, not on knowledge. For this reason, although this book is in the form of syarah, its contents are concise. Not too short and not too long. This book was written not for scholars who intend to "tabahhur" (explore and master completely).

This book is the sharah of "Matan Abu Syuja'" or also called "Ghoyah Al-Ikhtishor" or "Al-Ghoyah Wa At-Taqrib" or "Mukhtashor Abu Syuja'" or "At-Taqrib" or "Al Ghoyah". Abu Syuja's matan is one of the most famous matan in the Ash-Syafi'i school of thought.
