Uddat’l-Fuqara

Regarding Shaykh Muhammad’s Commentary

14falak3This is the text of the `Uddat’l-Fuqara `Ala Tareeq’l-Asfiya fee Sharh `Ala `Umdat’l-`Ulama (The Groundwork of the Impoverished Upon the Path of the Purified Regarding a Commentary Upon the Support of the Scholars). It is the first of a seven parts commentary upon the Umdat’l-`Ulama of Shehu Uthman ibn Fuduye` (Danfodio). The original work is arguably the most important work produced by the Shehu since it consists of all the Qur’anic verses and prophetic traditions which are apart of the foundations (usuul) of the sciences of Islamic aqeeda, jurisprudence and mysticism.
