Imam al-Nawawi's concise primer on hadith sciences — all 25 types of hadith mapped as an interactive mind map with Arabic text, translations, and scholarly notes.

The same content as the radial map above, rendered as a collapsible, zoomable mind-map tree (markmap). A layout experiment shown alongside the radial version.

The full mustalah map (all 65 types) layered with Shaykh Muhammad 'Awwamah's practical ta'liqat — the muhaddith / faqih interface, acting on weak hadith, mursal as proof, riwaya bi'l-ma'na — for the student of ifta and Hanafi fiqh.

Al-Laknawi's masterwork on narrator criticism (jarh wa ta'dil) — conditions, limits, and detailed rules mapped interactively.

Nur al-Din Itr's manual of hadith criticism. All 56 technical terms mapped as an interactive radial map, each node carrying the author's own verbatim wording (al-nass) with translation and source page.

The sub-science of how a Hanafi mufti operates — tabaqat, tarjih signals, qawa'id, and the line between fatwa and qada. Foundation: Sharh `Uqud Rasm al-Mufti by Ibn `Abidin.

The same content as the radial map above, rendered as a collapsible, zoomable mind-map tree (markmap). A layout experiment shown alongside the radial version.

A growing kitab-by-bab map of the Hanafi madhhab, anchored to the classical corpus — zahir al-riwayah, ta'lil-expansion (Mabsut, Bada'i, Fath al-Qadir), and tarjih + ifta (Shami, Hindiyya, Bazzaziyya, Khaniyya). Built bab by bab during Usul al-Ifta study.

Ibn Nujaym's classic on Hanafi legal maxims. The first fann mapped as a collapsible mind map: the six grand maxims (al-qawa'id al-kubra) and the nineteen wider universal qawa'id, with verbatim Arabic and translation.

Imam al-Tahawi's reconciliation of conflicting hadith (mukhtalaf al-athar). All 27 contested masa'il of Kitab al-Tahara as fixed A→B→C→D cards: the opposing view, al-Tahawi's position, his reconciling move in his own words, then the ruling, each with verbatim Arabic from the matn.
