About Imam al-Juwaini:
Imam al-Haramayn Dhia' ul-Din Abd al-Malik ibn Yusuf al-Juwayni al-Shafi'i (419-478 AH) was born in a village on the outskirts of Nishapur in Iran. He was a prominent Muslim scholar known for his gifted intellect in Islamic legal matters. His father, Abu Muhammad 'Abdallah bin Yusef al-Juwayni was a well-known master of Law in the Shafi'i community as well as a Shafi'i teacher and his elder brother, Abu'l-Hasan 'Ali al-Juwayni, was a Sufi teacher of Hadith. Al-Juwayni travelled to Mecca and Medina in search of an interim home. He taught and studied there in Hijaz for four years. During this time, al-Juwayni became very popular because of his father's prominence in the scholarly world. He was invited back to Nishapur by the founder of the Shafii Madrasa, Khwaja Nizam al-Mulk. Upon his return, he was appointed to teach the doctrine of the Ash'arites at the Nizamiyya Madrasa until he died in 478 AH. Imam Al-Juwayni was the teacher of one of the most influential scholars in the Islamic tradition, particularly Sufism, Imam al-Ghazzali. He was a master of the Qurán and Hadith texts in addition to being well versed in the particular school of Shafi'i and theological practices of the Ash'arite persuasion.

The meaning of Usool al Fiqh
Arabic text and translation
هَذِهِ وَرَقَات تشتمل على فصول من أصول الْفِقْه
These pages include sections on the fundamentals of jurisprudence.
Commentary
Imamul Haramain does not begin his book with 'Alhumdulillah'. The Hadith mentions that the Prophet once said:
كُلُّ أَمْرٍ ذِي بَالِ لَا يُبْدَأُ فِيهِ بِحَمْدِ اللَّهِ فَهُوَ أَبْتَرُ
'Any matter of importance which is not begun with "Alhumdulillah" (praise be to Allah) remains defective'. (Abu Dawood)
In some of the versions of Al Waraqat, 'Alhumdulillah' is mentioned, but in other versions, such as this one, it is not.
The author
starts his book with the word 'Bismillah', just like Imam Bukhari did in his book Sahih Bukhari, following the example of how the Prophet started the letters he wrote.
The author
didn't originally title his book Al Waraqat; rather, the name was later derived from its introduction, as is the practice of some authors.
Imamul Haramain
begins his book by saying, 'These pages include sections on the fundamentals of jurisprudence'. He is pointing out that these are only a few pages on the fundamentals of jurisprudence. In other words, this work is not an in- depth book covering all of the topics of Usool al Fiqh.

انواع الاحكام
Anwaul Ahkam - categories of rulings
Arabic text and translation
وَالْأَحْكامِ سَبْعَة الْوَاجِب وَالْمَنْدُوب والمباح والمحظور وَالْمَكْرُوه وَالصَّحِيحَ وَالْبَاطِل
There are seven types of rulings: wajib (obligatory), mandoob (recommended), mubah (permissible), mahzoor (forbidden), makrooh (disapproved), sahih (sound) and batil (invalid).
Commentary
After defining the term fiqh as knowledge of the rulings of the shareeah, the author
tells us that there are seven types of these rulings. Later scholars categorised these rulings into five categories and not seven. However, one should note that there is no contradiction between the earlier scholars (such as Imamul Haramain *) and later scholars regarding the number of the types of rulings. Why?
Here, Imamul Haramain
considers the rulings of both matters of Ibadaat
(worship) and Ma'amalaat (transactional dealings).
There are five types of rulings related to worship: Wajib, Mandoob, Mubah, Makrooh and Haram. There are two types of rulings related to transactional dealings (such as marriage, transactions and divorce), i.e. Sahih and Batil, for a total of seven types of rulings.
The scholars who state that there are seven types of rulings consider the worship and transactional matters separately, whereas those who consider the matters of worship and transactional dealings together state that there are only five types of rulings. Thus, there is no contradiction between the two.
