As Huseyn Hilmi bin Sa’îd Işık ‘rahmatullâhi ta’âlâ ’alaih’ explains on various occasions in his valuable books, Islamic knowledge is divided into two major parts: Religious knowledge and Scientific knowledge. Religious knowledge has various divisions, such as ’Aqâid (Tenets of Islamic Belief); ’Ibâdât (Acts of worship, halâls, harâms, etc.); Mu’âmalât (Social and Business transactions among people); Munâkahât; and ’Uqûbât. Chapters from twenty-eight through fortysix of the fifth fascicle of Endless Bliss have been allotted to Mu’âmalât. These four divisions make up the Islamic science termed Fiqh. Therefore, the word ‘Islamic Jurisprudence’ falls far short of standing for the word ‘Fiqh’

(The following Fârisî couplet translates into English as follows: “With separation from the beloved ones, my chest has been weeping blood;” “Separation from the beloved ones has been burning my bone-marrows.”)

Zi hijri dostân, hûn shud derûn-i sîna-i jan-i-men,

Firâq-i hem-nishînân suht maghz-i istihân-i-men.
