Al-Raghib's annotations for the student's guide (Jurisprudence of Worship)

Features of the book "Guide of the Student" and the reason for its selection 1- It is one of the approved summaries in Hanbali jurisprudence among the late scholars. 2- The author explicitly relied on a single opinion that is the most likely in the school, as he said: (I only mentioned what I am certain of...). 3- The interest of Hanbali scholars in it through explanations, marginal notes, and poetic compositions. 4- Its good arrangement and organization, starting with the conditions, then the pillars and obligations, then the Sunnahs and recommended acts, then the disliked and forbidden matters, as the author said: (I have been thorough in clarifying...). 5- The ease and clarity of the wording and the minimal use of pronouns. 6- The praise of scholars for this book and their commendation of it, including what Sheikh Abdul-Salam Al-Shatti composed, as in (Brief of the Hanbali Classifications, p. 194). Oh you who seek to attain your goals in religion through jurisprudence, read the explanation of Al-Muntaha and memorize the Guide of the Student. 7- The fame of the compiler and his mastery of the Hanbali school, as he is considered one of the scholars of the Hanbali school in Egypt, and many scholars of his era praised him and commended his knowledge and status. 8- The supplication of the author for those who engaged with this book. 9- Because it is one of the required courses for the Imam and Muezzin exams in the subject of jurisprudence in the State of Kuwait, especially for the Muezzins, as they are only required to perform acts of worship from this book, so I dedicated a special author for it.
