Description Al-Murshid al-Mu'een is a widely recognised primary text for learning Islam in North Africa.
In it the author, Abd al-Wahid ibn 'Ashir, summarises in verse the three sciences of Islam, Iman and Ihsan: Maliki fiqh, Ash'ari 'aqida and Junaidi tasawwuf.
This is its first complete translation into English.
Asadullah Yate is also the translator of Shaykh Ahmad bin al-Bashir al-Qalawi ash-Shinqiti's (1216 AH/1802 CE- 1276 AH/1853 CE) Mufid al-'Ibad, a very full commentary on al-Murshid al-Mu'een, which is published by Diwan Press in English as Islam in the School of Madina.
It is usually approached after learning al-Mukhtasar al-Akhdari.
From the Murshid, the student then proceeds to the Risalah of Ibn Abi Zayd al-Qayrawani.
