New Translation, Commentary for 'Seekers of Guidance' from Zaid Shakir

March 24, 2009, NID Publishers is pleased to announce its literary release, A Treatise for the Seekers of Guidance, a groundbreaking work based on Risalah al-Mustarshideen, the classical work of 9th century scholar Imam Al-Muhasibi, this new book is a complete translation coupled with insightful commentary by Imam Zaid Shakir.

There is no way to know how much of traditional Islamic scholarship has been lost forever in libraries that have been burned, looted or destroyed. Other manuscripts lay forgotten in dusty archives, unread and untranslated. New literary works such as this one seek to preserve a part of our Islamic heritage and are astoundingly relevant to our homes and society today.

Available for the first time, this classical work by an important, albeit little-known figure in Islamic history, deals with the purification of the soul. A Treatise for the Seekers of Guidance has been translated in its entirety and explained with an indepth commentary. This new literary work with moving translation and insightful narrative will prove to be invaluable literature of enduring benefit, and is astoundingly relevant for our individual lives and society at large.

With introduction, translation and commentary by Imam Zaid Shakir, American scholar, professor and writer, this literary work is a valuable resource for those seeking the purest forms of Islamic scholarship from classical sources that have withstood the test of time.

NID Publishers is dedicated to making the lectures, writings, and other material produced by Imam Zaid Shakir available to a wide audience. Trained in both Western social sciences and Islam, he is uniquely qualified as a commentator on current events, and as a presenter of Islam.
