Nonsense of knowledge

Translation

The book “The Fragrance of Knowledge” by Shams al-Din Abu Abdullah Muhammad bin Ahmed bin Othman al-Dhahabi is considered one of the important books in the field of rituals, etiquette, and remembrances, as it deals with the study and analysis of various Islamic sciences. The book covers a wide range of scholarly topics, including the science of reading and Tajweed, the science of hadith, the four schools of jurisprudence (Maliki, Hanafi, Shafi’i, and Hanbali), grammar, linguistics, interpretation, the foundations of jurisprudence, the science of the origins of religion, the science of logic, the science of wisdom, obligations, the science of construction, the science of poetry, the science of arithmetic, the science of conditions, and the science of preaching. The book provides a comprehensive vision about these sciences and their development, and shows the author’s interest in the heritage of the Islamic nation and enhancing its understanding of religious sciences.
