Description
About The Book
Talim al-Mutaallim is the foundational classical manual on the manners (adab) of the student of sacred knowledge. Composed by the Hanafi scholar Imam Burhan al-Din al-Zarnuji in the seventh Islamic century, the work covers — in compact didactic prose — the right intention for seeking knowledge, the choice of teacher and subject, the manner of study, the cultivation of memory, the avoidance of what corrupts knowledge, the trust and gratitude that should accompany the seeker, and much more. For more than seven centuries it has been the first text placed before students entering serious madrasa study in the Hanafi-Maturidi tradition.
Continually printed, taught, and translated, it remains widely studied today as a foundational text on Islamic educational ethics. Major commentaries include those of Ibrahim b. Ismail and Ibn al-Khatib.

About the author
Burhan al-Din al-Zarnuji: Imam Burhan al-Din al-Zarnuji rahimahullah (7th c. AH / 13th c. CE) was a Hanafi scholar from the region of Transoxiana (Central Asia). His precise dates of birth and death are not known from the historical sources, though he is placed with confidence in the early thirteenth century CE. Of his scholarly output, only a single work survives: Talim al-Mutaallim Tariq al-Taallum, the foundational manual on the etiquette of the student of knowledge. Composed in a concise pedagogical style, the work addresses sincere intention in seeking knowledge, the selection of one's teacher and subject matter, proper methods of study, techniques for strengthening memorization, what corrupts or diminishes knowledge, and the reliance upon Allah and gratitude that befit the earnest student. From the time of its composition, it became the first text presented to a student in Hanafi-Maturidi madrasas and remains in use to this day.
