612 REMARKS, 8cc; 



Sijillat/' " Shooroot," " Hiyul," and " Fura,eez," are not included 

 in the •' Hldayah." 



The general division and arrangement of both the " Hidayah," 

 and " A-.lumgeercej" appear to have been adopted from the 

 *' Jama-i-^'j<^hecr," of Imam Mohummud. Tlie same order is 

 also observed in most other works written by the followers of Aboa 

 Huneefah ; and the author of the " Bahr-oo-rayik," has endeavoured 

 to shew to that it is founded on a principle of successive connection. 

 But his reasoning does not appear satisfactory. It may be useful to 

 add, however, that'the Mosulman law, in the most extensive sense 

 of the term {Shura, or Decn-i-islam) comprehends the ordinances of 

 religion, and the duties of men towards bis Creator, as well as his 

 rights and obligations towards his fellow creatures. It is therefore 

 stated in the " Bukr-i-rayik," to comprise five principal heads ; 

 namely, 1, latikadat, articles of faith. 2, Ibadat, acts of worship 

 and piety. 3, Moaamulat, affairs of life, or civil transactions. 4, 

 Muzajir, punishments for the prevention of crimes. 5, Adah, 

 manner, or rules of behaviour. In books of jurisprudence (fik-h) 

 the first and liist heads are emitted. The other three are included ; 

 and the hcud of "Ibadat," always precedes the " Moaamulat/' 

 and " Muzajir," as of superior importance.
