Vitabu mbalimbali vya Usul al-Fiqh vinapatikana kwa Kiingereza, lakini baada ya kuvipitia inadhihirika kwamba vingi vimeandikwa kwa madhumuni ya kitaaluma badala ya msomaji wa kawaida. Katika hali hii, kitabu bora kilichoandikwa na Abu Tariq Hilal kiitwacho „Studies in Usul al-Fiqh‟ kinajitokeza. Kiliandikwa kwa mtindo wa wazi na rahisi unaoeleweka kwa msomaji wa kawaida.

Various books on Usul al-Fiqh are available in English, however after reviewing them it becomes clear that most are written for academic purposes rather than for the normal reader. In this regard the excellent book written by Abu Tariq Hilal entitled „Studies in Usul al-Fiqh‟ stands out. It was written in a clear simple style understandable to the average reader.

Nimepanga upya kitabu kidogo ili vyanzo vya sheria vilivyo na uthibitisho kamili vijadiliwe kabla ya vile ambavyo wanazuoni wametofautiana juu yake. Sura kuhusu Qur'an, Qiyas, Ijtihad na Taqleed zilikuwa fupi katika asili. Nimeziongeza, na katika baadhi ya sehemu nimeandika upya maelezo ambapo ufafanuzi ulihitajika. Katika zama hizi za shaka na kutokuamini, niliona ni lazima kuongeza dalili za maandiko na marejeo muhimu kwa baadhi ya tafsiri na Hadithi. Ili kutofautisha toleo hili lililorekebishwa na asili, jina jipya limetolewa ambalo linashikamana na unyenyekevu wa asili.
