About The Book
Matn Abi Shuja — also known as Ghayat al-Ikhtisar — is the universal beginner's matn of the Shafii school. Composed by Qadi Abu Shuja al-Isfahani in fifth-century AH Basra, the matn distills the entire ground of Shafii ibadat and muamalat into a short prose tract of perhaps fifty pages: tahara, salat, zakat, fasting, hajj, sales, inheritance, marriage and divorce, criminal law, judicature. Its directness, its memorability, and its adherence to the standard Shafii positions account for its uninterrupted use as the field's universal primer for more than nine centuries.
Matn Abi Shuja has generated more than sixty significant commentaries, foremost among them Ibn Qasim al-Ghazzi's Fath al-Qarib, Khatib al-Shirbini's al-Iqna, and the celebrated supercommentary of Shaykh Ibrahim al-Bajuri.
About The Author
al-Qadi Abu Shuja Ahmad b. al-Husayn al-Isfahani (434-c.500 AH / 1042-c.1107 CE) was a Persian Shafii jurist who served as judge in Basra. His Ghayat al-Ikhtisar is the only one of his works to have survived in widespread circulation, but it has carried his name across Sunni history as the author of the universal Shafii primer.

About the author
Abu Shuja al-Isfahani: Ahmad ibn al-Husayn ibn Ahmad al-Isfahani, known by his kunya Abu Shuja and honored as Qadi, was born in 434 AH / 1042 CE in Basra. He was a Shafiʿi in law, remembered as a jurist, judge, and a man of piety and restraint. For roughly four decades he taught the jurisprudence of Imam al-Shafiʿi in Basra, instructing its people in the rulings of the school, before settling in Madina, where he gave his final years to the service of the Prophet's Mosque. His lasting legacy rests on one short work, the Ghayat al-Ikhtisar, also titled Matn Abi Shuja and Ghayat al-Taqrib. Written as a concise primer covering purification, prayer, fasting, zakat, hajj, transactions, marriage, and the other chapters of Shafiʿi fiqh, it became one of the most widely taught introductory texts in the school. Generations of students have memorized it, and it has drawn a long line of commentaries, among them al-Iqnaʿ of al-Khatib al-Shirbini and the gloss of al-Bayjuri, keeping the matn in active study to the present day. Reports of his death differ sharply. Some place it around 488 AH, others as late as c. 593 AH / 1197 CE, the latter implying an unusually long life. Historians have not settled the question, and the matter is best stated plainly as disputed.
