His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, has made a generous donation to the Manuscripts House, contributing three rare books and an original manuscript. With this addition, the total collection at the House now exceeds 1,500 unique volumes.
Among them is a special manuscript called "Sharh Mukhtasar Khalil al-Saghir," which focuses on Maliki jurisprudence—a school of Islamic legal thought. This was written by Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Ali Al-Kharashi.
The first of the three rare books is "Al-Bahjah fi Sharh al-Tuhafa," which explains another text on Maliki jurisprudence and was printed in Fez, Morocco. The second book is an explanation of a work by Mohammed bin Abi Al-Qasim, which also addresses Maliki jurisprudence. The final book provides insights into logic and was similarly printed in Morocco.
These new additions will be beneficial for students both within the UAE and around the world.
