Accordingly, each and every madrassah, whatever its affiliation, imparts instruction in Islamic law through al-Hidayah. Education in Islamic law is not complete without this book. There is no book that can match the power of al-Hidayah as a teaching manual. It presents the corpus of Hanafi law in its approved and preferred form and forges an organic link with the other schools of law. The Hidayah represents the refined, distilled and authentic version of a legal tradition developed over many centuries. Descreption Taken From Translation of Al-Hidayah Fi Sharh Bidayat Al-Mubtadi, A commentary of Bidayat al-Mubtadi written by the author himself.
