by Abu Bakr Fakir

 Condition is generally good though slight discoloration on some of the tops of the pages.

In a paper titled "Dr Abu Bakr Fakier - A Rare Cape-Muslim Intellectual" by Muhammed Haron, the following is written:

The third book penned by Abu Bakr has till today remained in demand. This was The Manual of Prayer and Fasting. The late Professor Habib ul-Haq Nadvi, who had joined the University of Durban-Westville to head the now defunct Department of Arabic, Urdu & Persian, lauded the book in his lengthy introduction and went so far as to compare it to Shaykh Abu Bakr Effendi’s basic jurisprudential text entitled Bayan ud-Din, which was written in Arabic-Afrikaans in the late 1880s at the Cape. The book has gone through many prints and limited copies are available. All of these texts were publications of the Institute of Islamic Studies, which he established in the early 1970s.
