other activities, therefore its completion took a long time. At the end of part 17 of Bahar-e-Shari’at he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has written: It usually happened in its writing that the time I had from the other activities during the holidays of the blessed month of Ramadan, I wrote some of it. (Tazkirah Sadr-ush-Shari’ah, pp. 44-47)

It is stated in the booklet ‘Tazkirah Sadr-ush-Shari’ah’, the summary of which is this that Sadr-ush-Shari’ah wanted to cover Shar’i rulings in 20 parts of Bahar-e-Shari’at, but he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه could not complete it and made this will: It will be a great pleasure for me if any one amongst my children or pupils or Islamic scholars of the Ahl-us-Sunnah completes the small part which is left. The dream of Sadr-ush-Shari’ah came true and its remaining three parts have also been published. (Tazkirah Sadr-ush-Shari’ah, pp. 48)

When the Murshid of Sadr-ush-Shari’ah, A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه studied the second, third and the fourth part of Bahar-e-Shari’at, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه wrote praiseworthy words about it and he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه mentioned: This kind of book is required today so that people can find the correct rulings in simple Urdu.

آپ کی تصنیف نے مُستَغنِی ہم کو کردیا                   غیر کے آگے جبینِ اہلسنت خم نہیں

ہر طرف علم و ہنر کا آپ سے دریا بہا                      آپ کا احسان اے صدرُ الشّریعہ کم نہیں

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب       صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Have you noticed! The Khalifah of A’la Hadrat, the legendary and leading scholar of Shari’ah and Tareeqah, ‘Allamah Maulana Mufti Muhammad Amjad ‘Ali A’zami’s blessed heart was filled so much with the great passion for the service of Islam, ease for the Ummah and the passion for providing Shar’i guidance to Muslims that the Shar’i rulings which were concealed in voluminous Arabic books and were difficult to not only general Muslims, but also to specific Muslims. The renowned Islamic scholars would include them in their Fatawa as authenticity.
