Reviews" A Treasury of Sacred Maxims did not disappoint; in fact it added to a key under represented area of fiqh. A deceptively succinct text that covers forty legal Maxims but goes beyond a mere introduction. One would expect a legal discussion, however Dr. Shahrul Hussain has added a moral aspect to each legal maxim. An excellent text which can be memorised alongside a primer fiqh text in any Islamic studies curriculum."-- Mufti Amjad M Mohammed "This inspiring collection... will help deepen the understanding of key aspects of Shariah in its legal and ethical dimensions."-- Islamic Voice "A little book with loads of wisdom."-- Islamic Voice
