Kitab al-Jami’ is a comprehensive classical work by Ibn Abi Zayd al-Qayrawani, focusing on a wide range of topics derived from the traditions of Medina as transmitted by Imam Malik. Originally part of his Mukhtasar (abridgement) of the Mudawwana, it grew into an independent text. This 240-page softcover book covers theology (‘aqidah), the contentious issue of bid‘a (innovation), the merits of hadith vs. the practice of the People of Madinah (‘amal), the Prophet’s sīrah, generous moral character under trials, and many other important disciplines.
