Gunyah at-Talabah fi Taysir as-Saba

By Muhammad Saleem Gaibie

This work is based on the book al-Fawa'id al-Muhibbiyah, authored by Qari Anis Ahmad Khan. My knowledge concerning Qari Anis is limited. However, having studied many of his works under the auspices of my ustadh Qari Ayyub Ishaq, I can comfortably state that his books portray his proficiency and brilliance in the science if qira'at. This is to no surprise, in that after having studied qira'at in Deoband he stated that his thirst had not been quenched regarding the science and travelled on to Lucknow where he studied under a number of specialists. This work serves as an introduction for the beginner, a reminder for the teacher, and precis for the English-speaker about the theory surrounding qira'at. Coupled with the English, the footnotes are a reiteration of the rules in Arabic. The English text is aimed at the beginner, whereas the footnotes are taken from the Shatibiyyah as an instruction for one who desires to study the Shatibiyyah, as well as a guide for the teacher. The book also holds a brief explanation, as well as a translation of the introduction (muqaddimah) of the Shatibiyyah, a biography of Qari Anis Ahmad and Imam Shatibi, as well as some links of the author to the great Imam. The book concludes with a dictionary of technical terms employed by qurra.
