The present work comprises a treatise aiming to reassert the essential unity of the four madhahib by arguing that their precepts were derived from the same Source of Law (‘ayn al-shari’a). The title is indicative of al-Sha’rani’s own moderately ascetic and non-political practise of Sufism. He remained highly critical of scholars who troubled the wider population with the finer legal and theological arguments which, in his opinion, had little relevance to the essentials of Islam (M. Winter, 'Al-Sha'rani' in Bosworth et al. (eds.) Encyclopaedia of Islam, vol. 9, Leiden, 1960-2002, p.316).
