Detailed Description
Receiver of the 2nd Hijri Century, Imam Shafi'i is the titular founder of one of the schools of Sunni jurisprudence. But even before he was a scholar of Islam, Muhammad ibn Idris was a noble of the Quraysh and a quotable authority ( hujjah ) of the Arabic language.
For the lovers of poetry, we have arranged a collection of the Imam's verse, with side-by-side English, as an introduction to the Imam in his role as poet and Arab noble.
