Fatawa Sirat-e-Mustaqeem – Islamic Verdicts

Questions and Answers on various topics faced by Muslims every day.

Collection of ‘Fatawa Sirat-e-Mustaqeem’ which have been selected and compiled from the Urdu monthly magazine ‘Sirat-e-Mustqaeem’ published by Markazi Jamiat Ahl-e-Hadith, UK.

The ‘Fatawa’ (verdicts) to the readers queries and questions on Islamic matters were initially given by Maulana Mahmood Ahmed Mirpuri V. His effective method of replying in the light of Qur’an and Sunnah, as well as in accordance to the current issues, no doubt benefited readers worldwide rather than just the one questioner. So, we had numerous demands to compile this series into a book.

When this book (in Urdu) was presented in the UK, the response from the community was very encouraging and a huge demand arose for the translation of this collection into the English language, so that the English speaking community and especially the younger generation of Muslims may benefit from this valuable knowledge also.

Maulana Mohammed Abdul Hadi al-Oomeri performed the great task of the translation of these Fatawa, who tried to use the simplest vocabulary possible to make this book easy to read and easy to understand for everyone, because this book is not for the purpose of literature nor for academics alone, it is for the benefit of all.

The translation of any book is a very sensitive issue, especially when trying to keep the same meanings and essence of the subject. Maulana Mohammed Abdul Hadi al-Oomeri has tried not to flow away from the original text but have added references for the quotations from the Qur’an and Sunnah which had not been mentioned in the Urdu version.
