The Guiding Helper: Main Text & Explanatory Notes

By Abu Qanit al-Sharif Al-Hasani

The Guiding Helper is a practical guide to the Din that the Prophet Muhammad (May Allah bless him and give him peace) brought. The Guiding Helper is based on a famous metered verse song written by a scholar named Ahmad ibn Ali ibn Abd al-Wahid ibn Ashir born in Spain and raised in Fez, Morocco about seven hundred years ago. This scholar divided his song into three books: (1) one about Islamic beliefs, (2) one about Islamic law, and (3) one about Islamic spirituality. He based the first book on a famous text of beliefs called The Mother of Proofs for the Tenets of Belief written by Muhammad ibn Yusuf al-Sunusi al-Husayni. He based his second book on a renown text of Maliki law called The Concise Text written by Khalil Ibn Ishaq ibn Ya qub. He based his third book on a popular text on spirituality called The Letter of Qushayri written by Abd al-Karim al-Qushayri. The Maliki Fiqh is used to describe the practices of Islam.
