The nonpartisan Urban Institute publishes studies, reports, and books on timely topics worthy of public consideration. The views expressed are those of the authors and should not be attributed to the Urban Institute, its trustees, its funders.
C. Eugene Steuerle - Senior Fellow, The Urban Institute, columnist for The Financial Times and Tax Notes Magazine, and First Vice-President, National Tax Association. Portions of this testimony were first discussed in Tax Notes and the Financial Times. Any opinions expressed herein are solely the author's and should not be attributed to any of the organizations with which he is associated.
Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:
The 2001 tax act was only one in a long series of tax laws complicating an already byzantine tax system. Ever the bridesmaid, simplification seems never to get the attention it deserves, no matter which political party is in powermainly because broader agendas are always being pursued.
It would be a mistake, I believe, to fault elected officials for pursuing those broader agendas. That is their job. Government doesn't exist to simplify itself. It is entirely appropriate for tax policy to be the handmaiden to broader budgetary and economic policy, whether the issue is rate reduction in 2001 or deficit reduction in 1993. Moreover, simplification is merely one principle among several, sometimes conflicting, principles. For example, taxing all income on an equal basis generally makes the tax more efficient and fair. But carried to an extreme, it can add to complexity.
Still, in pursuing broader objectives and balancing principles, almost everyone would agree that simplicity has been given far too little weight in the legislative process. Many items in the tax law add significant complexity with little gain in achieving any other legislative goal. Almost no one would introduce many of the provisions now in current law, if designing a code from scratch. But once there, these complexities are hard to remove.
Complexity creates waste, not merely cost. Here one must distinguish between costs that might provide benefits and those that do not. A transfer of $1 from me to you may cost me $1, but there is an offset in the $1 that you pick up. Wasteincluding extra time and effortinvolves resources that are simply lost to everyone. Professor Joel Slemrod of the University of Michigan and the National Tax Association has concluded that for each $100 of tax collected, we spend about $10 in time, effort, and administrative costs. Another cost, although more subtle, is taxpayers' resentment from filling out an unreasonable number of forms. Needless tax complexity increases their cynicism toward government and frustrates a healthy relationship between a citizenry and its government.
My testimony will concentrate on four items. First, I will give two examples from recent legislation of how complexity arises. Second, I will suggest ways that I believe that the process can be reformed to give greater weight to simplification. Third, I will argue that simplification could unify and give direction to tax policy efforts in the near future. Furthermore, I will show how the inevitable need to deal with the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) could trigger simplification reform. And, finally, I will list some of the items that should be addressed when reform comes. The last list is not comprehensive, and many of the issues are covered elsewhere, including the recent Joint Committee report on simplification.
Two Examples of How Complexity Arises in the Tax Process
Example 1: Excessive Complexity in the Refundable Child Credit. During the legislative process leading to the 2001 tax cut, a number of members of Congress and private groups sought relief for those with incomes too low to pay income tax. The result was a provision that allowed the new child credit to be partially refundable, along with the retention of an alternative method of calculating a refundable child credit for taxpayers with more than two children. But combining this new credit with the refundable earned income tax credit (EITC), while retaining an alternative child credit, adds whole layers of complexity to a tax system for low- and moderate-income Americans that is already among the most complex possible.
If Congress wants to channel refundable dollars to this portion of the population, three options could achieve roughly the same distributional and revenue effects:
Almost all analysts and students of tax policy, conservative or liberal, Republican or Democrat, agree that the first option would work best and the second would be the next most preferable. Congress, nonetheless, chose the third, most complex, option. Bad intentions weren't at play, but simplicity didn't receive its due in the bargaining process. Here were the logical steps that led to the final result:
Note that each of the first two goalsto circumscribe what would be considered in the bill and to grant some share of new credits to lower-income individualsis perfectly reasonable when considered by itself. The problem is that simplicity was not given much weight in the process; no one had strong authority to come forward with easier ways to pursue the goals. The third objectivecreating no losers anywherealmost guarantees that systems will grow more complex since new options are not allowed to supersede older ones.
Example 2: The Alternative Minimum Tax. The alternative minimum tax (AMT) problem keeps growing in size, not because anyone really likes it, but rather, because no one wants to bear the cost of addressing it. If you will allow me to generalize, Republicans would be glad to get rid of the AMT or have a skeletal representation. But, historically, given a choice between lower statutory rates and fixing the AMT, they will choose lower statutory rates. Democrats, of course, would be glad to have some AMT fix also. They simply don't want to give away any more money to those in the upper-income brackets or to pay for it by giving up other tax breaks that they favor too. Given a choice between a bill with an AMT fix and a less progressive distribution of taxes and one without an AMT fix and more progressivity, so far they have chosen the latter.
In a sense, both political parties get what they want: the Republicans get some of the statutory rate cuts they want and the Democrats maintain some of the progressivity they seek. The AMT provides the funding to do both. This is how it's been for a long time now; the recent tax bill is only the latest act in the drama. The current tax bill gave tax cuts with one hand (mainly statutory rate reduction) and then took some of them back with the other (the AMT). But this wasn't the first time, and everyone plays the game.
What's going to end the game? With or without a broader agenda on which to hang the AMT reform, it's going to require movement beyond current positions. For some, it will mean accepting a somewhat less progressive system. For others, it will require accepting higher statutory rates. Once again, progressivity and lower rates are both legitimate goals or principles. Simplification is simply going to have to be given more weight when choices among competing principles are made.
Process Reforms
Out of the thousands that could be cited, the two examples just presented imply that while some complexity in tax law is inevitable, at its heart, excessive complexity is a failure of process. This process failure could be mitigated by the adoption of certain Executive Branch and Congressional procedures that would grant simplicity a higher priority in the policy process. More fiduciary-like responsibility needs to be assessed and formalized in specific ways. Below, I list two types of process reforms: (1) those that would involve periodic reporting on existing law; and (2) those that would apply to new legislation. Of course, in the end, what makes any process work is the good will of the parties involved to see that its spirit is maintained.
Periodic Reports
At the same time, I believe there is a fundamental failure in the IRS administrative structure that leads to Treasury's complaints about inadequate information and, indirectly, to some of IRS' internal management problems. That defect is IRS' failure to partially organize itself by program. Currently, IRS organizes itself by tax return category or type of taxpayer, not by the programs under its administration. It prepares few analyses of these programs and takes no responsibility for their success or failure because of its excessive focus upon itself only as a tax collector. Only indirectly do we find out about these programs, as when IRS measures error rates by line item on returns. It is not surprising, then, that IRS almost always ends up behind the 8-ball when Congress suddenly decides to examine the effectiveness of, say, the Earned Income Tax Credit, the tax exclusion for employer-provided health insurance, or the compliance costs imposed upon charities.
IRS sometimes excuses itself by saying that it is in charge of administration, whereas Treasury and the White House set policy. I have some sympathy with this argument, but it is weak. No one can properly administer a program without understanding how target efficient it is and analyzing the costs of administration for both the government and its customers. IRS does not have to make any judgment on the policy itselfjust on who gets the benefits, the costs of administration, and error rates (both underclaims and overclaims). In effect, it has responsibility for better development and dissemination of the information it acquires in administering the programs.
IRS is also scared to put out reports on administrative effectiveness. In reporting on the EITC during the 1990s, for instance, it knows that both former President Bush and President Clinton favored an increase in the grants made under this program. It's not going to make the political mistake of rushing out a report on problems associated with the 2001 tax rebate. And so on. Unless a regular reporting schedule is mandated, IRS will fear that the timing of any report release will appear to be politically motivated by one side or the other.
Reporting on New Legislation
Here, in turn, are some methods for giving simplicity greater weight in the legislative process:
In sum, if simplification is important, then processes must be set up to insure that it is given attention and that needed resources are devoted to tracing potential and actual failures. I am hopeful that this subcommittee will devote some attention to these process efforts and not merely concentrate on items worthy of reform.
Of course, no process reform guarantees that simplification will occur. Nor, as I noted in my opening remarks, should simplification be the only factor under consideration. Nonetheless, a combination of some, if not all, of these procedures could help deter new sources of unnecessary complexity and spur the types of simplifications this subcommittee seeks.
Momentum for a Simplification Bill
Despite the trend toward increased complexity, significant tax simplification has a good chance of being passed sometime in the near future. The first Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton, had it right. "The truth is," he asserted, "in human affairs there is no good, pure and unmixed; every advantage has two sides." So, let me argue, does every disadvantage. The seed that could sprout into major simplification is in one of the worst failures of the recent legislation: the extraordinary growth scheduled in the number of taxpayers subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT).
Under the AMT, a taxpayer calculates a separate tax on a different and narrower tax base than the regular income tax. He or she then pays the higher of the two. The AMT grows much faster than the regular tax because its exemption levels grow more slowly. Meanwhile, the new tax cut will make it more likely still that the AMT will be higher than regular tax. Thus, millions of taxpayers will get a far smaller tax cut than they anticipate. The AMT basically cancels out many of the benefits of the new lower rates in the regular income tax.
According to the Joint Committee on Taxation, the number of taxpayers subject to the AMT will grow from 1.4 million today to 5.3 million in 2004 to 19.6 million in 2006 to 35.5 million in 2010. Moreover, the revenues to be paid under that tax are also scheduled to grow into tens of billions of dollars. What puts more and more taxpayers under the AMT are not the "tax shelters" it was designed to expose but such simple items as dependent exemptions and state and local tax deductions, which the AMT doesn't allow.
For the immediate future, rude surprises are inevitable for taxpayers expecting palpable relief. And help is not on the way. With the decline in revenues as the 2001 tax legislation is phased in, and the increase in spending on national defense, drug benefits for the elderly, and new and expanded educational programs, not a lot is left over to pay for simplification.
But lets play this scenario out a bit. As millions of taxpayers get added to the AMT roles every year, the level of protest is going to rise quite rapidly. Nothing arouses public ire more than perceived unfair treatment, and Americans don't take kindly to the notion that their dependents and forced payments of taxes to state and local governments are tax shelters. Take my word for it: something will be done to fix the AMT despite all the difficulty.
At issue, though, is what type of tax bill will contain it. A large AMT fix by itself would mainly lower taxes for those with incomes above $70,000, still well above the average income. Previous Presidents, including Bill Clinton and the senior George Bush, as well as both Democratic and Republican Congresses, have shied away from any bill that would cater only to higher income groups. Even the 2001 legislation was pitched as applying to taxpayers in all income classes.
Any politically feasible AMT fix probably also has to do something for taxpayers in middle and lower income classes. But AMT reform isn't a natural fit with, say, expanding welfare benefits or offering special deductions for the middle class. The most logicalperhaps the only logical way to help the less well off too would be across-the-board simplification.
Congress and the President are going to have to simplify taxes one way or the other. Moreover, there's another issue at stake: gaining control over the agenda. There are going to be a lot of tax proposals put forward in the near future. Simplification offers the President, as well as Congressional leaders, some chance of channeling this momentum, limiting the amount of special interest tax legislation, and keeping the focus on the attainment of a more efficient tax system.
Smart politicians will see personal opportunity in taking a lead and setting the agenda. If Hamilton could see a "national blessing" in a national debt, then surely some modern President, Secretary of the Treasury, or Congressional leader will recognize that rising tax complexity itself presents an opportunity to advance tax-simplification legislation before taxpayers rebel.
A Few Candidates for Reform
In addition to the alternative minimum tax noted above, among the many sources of needless complexity today are the following:
Simplification is achievable if given enough attention and effort. Process reforms can accord simplicity more weight in the legislative process, in Treasury analysis, and in IRS research. The good news in all this bad news is that the tax system has now become so complicated that almost any new legislation can make taxes simpler on balance. And the mandate for AMT relief could catalyze a much broader attack on the complexity of the tax system for all taxpayers, from poor to rich. As a practical matter, simplification offers the President and Congressional leaders a focus that could channel what could otherwise become a more chaotic tax policy process into an effort producing significant efficiency gains for the American economy.

By Carmen Gonzalez The Internet of Things (IoT) is causing data centers to become radically decentralized and atomized within a new paradigm known as "fog computing." To support IoT applications, such as connected cars and smart grids, data centers' core functions will be decentralized out to the network's edges and endpoints (aka "fogs"). As this trend takes hold, Big Data analytics platforms will focus on high-volume log analysis (aka "logs") and rely heavily on cognitive-computing algorithms (aka "cogs") to make sense of it all.

Now any real difference between the Sig factory or say Chip Mccormick or what not? The Scorpion has a mag well and needs a plate to go flush. I wonder if a flat plate can be pushed up into the well?

My experience w/1911 mags, as long as they are quality they function. I like the WC mags because they are a little easier to load. Not that any of them are difficult, the Wilsons just seem a little smoother. JMHO.

As-Salaamu 'Alaikum and welcome to our Online Fiqh lessons. As you all probably know that the book to be studied in this course is the famous Fiqh manual of the Hanbali Fiqh called 'Umdat al-Fiqh. In order for your participation to be thorough, you are all advised to obtain a copy of this manual, which is widely available in Islamic-Arabic bookshops. This manual is most commonly available with its best explanation to-date, called al-'Uddah Sharh al-'Umdah by Baha' al-Din al-Maqdisi. One of the best prints you can buy is 'Dar al-Kitab al-'Arabi' print (available in Dar al-Dawah bookshop in Bayswater), or Mu'assasat al-Risalah print (not available in the UK to my knowledge). There are other not-so-good prints around, which will do the job if you cannot travel to Bayswater. Alternatively, you can access the book online, copy and paste it into your own word document and make your own notes therein. You may find this manual online at the following link: http://www.islamweb.net/php/php_arabic/Book.php?lang=A&BookId=505&CatId=214 The purpose of these lessons is to understand the text of this manual from the beginning till the end, in order to obtain a comprehensive understanding and basic knowledge of Shari'ah. These are not comparative-Fiqh lessons, nor Fatwa sessions, simply because none of us here are qualified delve into comparative Fiqh, nor qualified to issue verdicts on Allah's behalf. These lessons are only our humble effort to learn the Hanbali Fiqh. The way we will conduct these lessons, is that I will paste a passage from the manual in Arabic, translate it into English, and then give a very simple explanation to the text, such that it becomes easier for a student to understand and absorb the intended meaning. No doubt, it would be an advantage to have someone who possesses good understanding of Arabic and English to improve my translation during the course of these lessons. May Allah purify our intentions, reward us for our efforts, and make what we learn a proof for us and not against us, Ameen. Abuz-Zubair
'Umdat al-Fiqh [What Do We Know About Imam Ahmad?] As-Salaamu 'Alaikum, Since we are studying the Hanbali Madhab, it is appropriate that we start by learning, and sharing what we already know about the 'founder' of this Madhab, Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal, his early life, his education, his teachers, his students, his trial, and his death; along with other historical facts about the growth, development, spread of the Madhab. However, instead of me writing something up, and in order to make our lessons more interactive, I suggest that we ask YOU to write what you know about this man… Ahmad ibn Hanbal. It could be anything you know, or heard, so long as it is in your own words and not a cut-and-paste job! So what do you know about Ahmad ibn Hanbal? wasalam
As Salaamualaiakum Imaam Ahmad was based in Iraaq. He was a contemporary of Imaam ash Shafiie, though Junior to him , studied under him ???so he lived in the period of the Abbasid Khilafah. Imaam Ahmad (RH) compiled a HUGE collection of hadeeth, I think something like 30,000 hadeeth in his compilation which is called 'al Musnad'. Also, Imaam Bukhaari took hadeeth directly from Imaam Ahmad I beleive when Bukhaari travelled to Iraaq. Imaam Ahmad was imprisoned and severely beaten and tortured during an Inquisition for not polluting his Aqueeda by accepting the Philosophical/Mutazili Position on the creation of the Qur'an. Imaam Ahmad stood firm against all this torture and never changed his belief, May Allah have Mercy upon Him. Thats all. I would like to hear more historical stuff on him please!! Was Salaam
more details please Asalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi Jazakum allahu kheir for providing such a service, may Allah purify our intentions, accept our good deeds and forgive us for our bad deeds. Ameen I have a few questions, we knoe how this course is going to run but when ? is there a time tiable when you will post the lessons i.e every xxx day? how long is this course? How is this going to work, do we read and understand and contribute with our comments if we have any or what? Jazakum allahu kheir and may He make your tasks easy for you. Ameen :?: :?:
He was a Haafidh who had memorised more than a 100 thousand hadeeth, and he by the permission of Allah saved this Deen from being deviated and having ingrain the false belief in the Muslims minds that the Qur'aan is created. By Allah the Qur'aan is not created, indeed it is the speech of Allah.
JazaakumAllahu Khairan Abu Ilyas and Abu Umar, As Abu Ilyas said, he was not only a contemporary to Imam al-Shafi'i, he was in fact one of his beloved students. It is commonly known amongst Shafi'is that when Imam al-Shafi'i said: حدثني ثقة (a reliable sourse narrated to me), intending by that Imam Ahmad. He would say to Imam Ahmad: Tell us of a Hadeeth which is authentic and we would act on it. Imam Ahmad would likewise have much respect for him. On one occasion, Imam Ahmad was sitting with either Ishaq ibn Rahwaih or 'Ali ibn al-Madini, and he saw Imam al-Shafi'i pass by them riding a donkey. So Imam Ahmad began to follow al-Shafi'i behind his donkey asking him about Fiqh issues. He then came back to his companion (either Ishaq or Ali), and the companion said: Why were you following asl-Shafi'i like that in a degrading manner? Imam Ahmad replied: This is how knowledge is sought! It is interesting that brother Abu Ilyas brought up the relationship between Shafi'i and Ahmad, because the Madhabs of these two are strikingly similarly to each other. As mentioned, Imam Ahmad is also the compiler of biggest Musnad, which he collected after travelling the entire Muslim world. This book is a testimony to Imam Ahmad's memory. Imam Ahmad would often play with his son Salih, by the latter throwing a chain of narration, or a text of a Hadeeth at Imam Ahmad, which he would then complete - all from his memory. Apart from the great Hafidh, he was also an Imam of Jarh and Ta'deel (the science of critism and strengthening of Hadeeth narrators). He is regarded to be from the balanced Imams who would neither be harsh in their critism nor lenient. Of course, there is not a briographer on Imam Ahmad except that he mentions the trial that this Imam went through in order to safeguard our creed. The story is very long and moving, but in short, when the Mu'tazilites (the rationalists) managed to establish their influence in the office of Khalif Ma'mun, the latter instigated an inquisition by examing the beliefs of all scholars and forcing them to confess that the Quran is not the speech of Allah. Rather Allah created this speech, the way he created the entire creation. Many senior scholars of his time were forced into this belief, some of these scholars were even killed, while others were imprisoned, and from them Imam Ahmad. This Imam lived and survived this great trial with much pain by witnessing many of the senior scholars of his time, as well as his close companions giving into the demands of the ruler and not remaining patient and speaking the truth. Fortunately, this episode left a great impression on the Hanbalis to come, so much so, that Hanbalis became known through out Islamic history, as the strickest of people in adherence to the Sunnah in beliefs and actions and the sternest of all people against Bid'ah; and the two classic examples of such Hanbalis, would undoubtedly be Ibn Taymiyah and Muhammad ibn 'Abdil-Wahhab. So far so good, but a bit disappointing to see only 2 out of about 20 something people posting! We want mass participation people!! So tell us, when was he born? Where? When did he start his education? Under who? When did he start giving Fatwas? When did he die? How was his funeral? Who were his companions? How was his Madhab narrated and compiled? All these questions need answers wasalam
It really depends how actively people participate in these lessons. If people post on a daily basis and contribute to these lessons, then no doubt this will make these lessons more frequent, interactive and more interesting. Likewise, a slow response and lethargic participation will obviously make these lessons less frequent. wasalam
- Ahmad ibn Hanbal was born in the city of Baghdad in the year 780 CE (164 AH). -He died in Baghdad in the year 855 CE (241 AH).
I know that Imam Ahmads mum used to wake him up very early, before Fajr and take him to the mosque. And when he was being taken (?) to be questioned about his stance on the Qur'an - there were loads of people outside waiting to write down what he would say... so he said how could be mislead all those people... There is nothing more I know that what has already been said... Oh, and there is this really nice statement of his - something along the lines of as long as he had his faith, then everythings ok (sorry, vague - but i can go and find it...)
'Umdat al-Fiqh [What Do We Know About Ibn Qudaamah and his book al-'Umdat] Apart from Imam Ahmad, it is also appropriate for us to find out about Ibn Qudaamah, and his works, in particular 'Umdat al-Fiqh, which we will be studying in these lessons. Please share with us what you know about the author, his works, and amongst them, his book that are going to study! wasalam
Asalaamu'alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatauh His full name is Shaykh Islaam Abu Abdullaah Ahmad Ibn Muhammad Ibn Hanbal. ~ Born in the year 164 after the Prophetic hijrah. ~ Begun seeking knowledge at the age of 15. ~He traveled extensively acquiring and learning ahadîth from over two-hundred and eighty teachers ~ Those who narrated from him include - Muslim Abu Dawood, his sons - Salih and abdullaah ibn ahmad, and Al Bukhari (only a single hadith) ~Student of Imaam Shafee ~ He was imprisoned in ramadan of the year of 219H ~he attended the circles of Qadi Abu Yusuf (the student of Abu Hanifah) - rahimahullah ~He began to study Hadith at the age of thirteen - having already memorised the Qur'aan at a young age. ~He underwent severe torture and trial due to defending the correct aqeedah - the aqeedah of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaah (the Prophet sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam, his Companions and those who followed them in aqeedah and manhaj) ~ Imaam Hanbal passed away on the day of jummah, the 12th night of rabeul awaal in the year 241H. :::: Imaam ash-Shafee - rahimahullah - said: "I left Baghdad and I did not leave behind me a man better, having more knowledge, or greater Fiqh (understanding), nor having greater taqwa (piety) than Ahmad ibn Hanbal." Wa'alaykumassalaam Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatauh ~ Sabr Wa Shukr
As Salaamualaikum Ibn Qudaamah Al Maqdisi (Muwaffaq ud deen) was born in Palestine and moved to Damascus when he was 10.He later travelled to Iraaq to further his education and soon become the main Scholar of the Hanbalis in his time. He was bon in 541 H and died in 620H. Shaykh ul Islaam, Ibn Taiymiyah said about him, "No one possessing more understanding of the religon entered Shaam, after Al-Awzaa'ee, other than Shaykh al Muwaffaq" Ibn Katheer said about him , "He was the Shaykh l Islaam, an Imaam, a Scholar, outstandingly proficient. there was not found in his time nor before it by a long span of time, anyone possessing more Fiqh than him." He authored a great many books. In fiqh he wrote the famous compendium of Fiqh (perhaps the greatest fiqh book ever compiled ??) 'al mughnee' aswell as other Fiqh books including Al Umdah. He also wrote on Aqueedah, Usool, Hadeeth e.t.c Ibn Rajab al Hanbali said about his books "He generated benefit to all the Muslims on a general level, and to the scholars of the (Hanbali) Madhab on a specific level. These books spread widely and grew very popular, according to the nobility of his intention and sincereity when writing them." It is also noteworthy that Ibn Qudamah al Maqdisi lived at the time of the Crusades and was Invoved in the Jihad against the crusaders and made Jihad alongside the famous Salaah ud Deen al Ayoobi. Was Salaam
Assalaamu'alaikoum Warahmatullah Wabarakaatuh -Imam Ahmad Never gave a fatwa while Imam Sha'fi was in Iraq. -When he died in 241H his funeral procession consisted of eight hundred thousand men and sixty thousand women. Abu Dawud said of him: 'Ahmad's gatherings were gatherings of the afterlife: nothing of this world was mentioned. Never once did I hear him mention this-worldly things.' Wa'alaikoumsalaam
as-Salaamu 'Alaikum and Eid Mubarak to everyone, TaqabbalAllahu Minna wa minkum! MashaaAllah! JazaakumAllahu Khairan for everyone's useful and beneficial response. As promised, our lessons are back after 'Eid. Let's pray that these lessons continue and that Allah blesses our efforts. For the benefit of those interested in studying Hanbali Fiqh, I thought it would be nice to introduce them to the Imam and Madhab, so I wrote something up very quickly regarding various aspects of the life of Imam Ahmad along with his Madhab - particularly for you brothers and sisters. Please have a read of the following link: http://www.islamicawakening.com/viewarticle.php?articleID=1193 And now, on to the next Imam - Muwaffaq al-Din ibn Qudama, the author of al-Umdah... wasalam
as-Salaamu 'Alaikum... Don't know where everyone has disappeared... But we would like these lessons to be a bit more interactive Anyone else would like to relate what they know about Ibn Qudama, so that we can actually get started with the book itself? wasalam
'Umdat al-Fiqh [Introduction to the Book] [Text]
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الحَمدُ ِللهِ، أَهلِ الحَمدِ وَ مُستَحَقِّهِ، حَمدًا يَفضُلُ عَلَى كُلِّ حَمد،ٍ كَفَضلِ اللهِ عَلَى خَلقِهِ. وأَشهَدُ أَن لا إِلهَ إلا الله وَحدَهُ لا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، شَهَادَةَ قَاِئمٍ للهِ بِحَقِّهِ، و أَشهَدُ أنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبدُهُ و رَسُولُهُ، غَيرَ مُرتَابٍ فِي صِدقِهِ، صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ عَلَى آلِهِ وَ صَحبِهِ، مَا جَادَ سَحَابٌ بِوَدقِهِ، و مَا رَعَدَ بَعدَ بَرقِهِ. هذا كِتَابُ أَحكَامٍ فِي الفِقهِ، اختَصَرتُهُ حَسَبَ الإِمكَانِ، واقتَصَرتُ فِيهِ عَلَى قَولٍ وَاحِدٍ، لِيَكُونَ عُمدَةً لِقَارِئِهِ، و لا يَلتَبِسَ عَلَيهِ الصَوَابُ بِاختِلافِ الُوجُوهِ وَ الرِّوَايَاتِ. سَأَلَنِي بَعضُ أَصحَابِنَا تَلخِيصَهُ، لِيَقرُبَ عَلَى المُتَعَلِّمِينَ، ويَسهُلَ حِفظُهُ عَلَى الطَالِبِينَ، فَأَجبتُهُ إِلَى ذَلِكَ، مُعتَمِدًا على اللهِ سُبحَانَهُ فِي إِخلاصِ القَصدِ لِوَجهِهِ الكَرِيمِ، و المَعُونَةِ على الوُصُولِ إلى رِضوَانِهِ العَظِيمِ و هُوَ حَسبُنَا و نِعمَ الوَكِيل. و أَودَعتُهُ أَحَادِيثَ صَحِيحَةً تَبَرُّكًا بِهَا واعتِمَادًا عَلَيهَا و جَعَلتُهَا مِنَ الصِّحَاحِ لأَستَغنِيَ عَن نِسبَتِهَا إِلَيهَا.
 [Translation] In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful Praise be to Allah, the one who truly deserves the praise. The praise which is favoured over all other praises, just as Allah is favoured over His creation. I bear witness, fulfilling His Right, that there is no one worthy of worship but Allah alone who has no partner. I also bear witness, without doubting the truthfulness of Muhammad, that he is His servant and His Messenger; may Allah's peace be upon Him, his family and his companions, for as long as clouds rain and the lightening thunders. This is a book pertaining to the rulings of Fiqh, which I abridged wherever possible, and confined it to one opinion, so that it serves as a foundation for the reader and that the correct opinion is not mixed up with the various Wujuh and Riwayat. Some of our scholars asked us to summarise it, so that it becomes simple to understand for the learners, and easy to memorise for the students. Thus, I responded to that, relying upon Allah Subhaanahu, in purifying my intention in seeking His Face and his aid in reaching His great pleasure, and He is all sufficient for us, the best disposer of affairs. I also mentioned authentic Ahadeeth, seeking their blessings and depending on them, which I chose from authentic collections, so that I wouldn't need to reference them to various collections. Explanation: alHamdulillah, truly all praises are due to Allah. We praise Him, seek His assistance and ask for His guidance in all affairs. The Sheikh introduces his book by praising Allah and bearing witness to Allah's right of worship and the Prophet's right of be followed and obeyed. * The Sheikh then says: "This is a book pertaining to the rulings of Fiqh", referring to this book, which is called 'Umdat al-Fiqh, or The Foundations of Fiqh, where 'Fiqh' is the Islamic jurisprudence. This book is often confused with the book 'Umdat al-Ahkam by 'Abdul-Ghani al-Maqdisi. However, the difference between the two books, apart from the name and the authors, is that 'Umdat al-Ahkam is a book in Fiqh al-Hadeeth, where as 'Umdat al-Fiqh is a book in Fiqh itself. What is the difference between Fiqh and Fiqh al-Hadeeth? Well, both of them are two different approaches to studying Fiqh. A book in Fiqh usually consists of a Matn (a text) which is written as a conclusion of various legal proofs, which is then explained in the light of legal proofs; whereas a book in Fiqh al-Hadeeth usually consists of Ahadeeth, arranged in chapters of Fiqh, which is then usually explained in the form of comparative Fiqh. An example of a book in Fiqh is the book we are studying here, 'Umdat al-Fiqh, with various Shuruh (explanations); while an example of a book in Fiqh al-Hadeeth, apart from 'Umdat al-Ahkam, is Muntaqa al-Akhbar by Majd Ibn Taymiyah (Sheikh al-Islam's grand father), and its famous Sharh Nail al-Awtar by al-Shawkani. * The Sheikh says about the book that he: "…abridged wherever possible, and confined it to one opinion, so that it serves as a foundation for the reader and that the correct opinion is not mixed up with the various Wujuh and Riwayat." It has been a traditional practise amongst the students to start from the basics before they engross themselves in disputed Fiqhi issues. Hence, Ibn Qudama put this book together and confined himself to just one opinion in all issues, particularly for the beginners. For those who finish this book, he put together another book called al-Muqni', where he mentions the difference of opinion in issues but confined to the Madhab only. After al-Muqni' he put together al-Kafi aimed at training a student in how to deduce laws; and after that he put together al-Mughni – his masterpiece in comparative Fiqh for advanced students. This shows that the one who hasn't finished something as basic as 'Umdat al-Fiqh, hasn't gone past the beginner's level, and he is most definitely not competent enough to speak about issues differed over in the Madhab (known as al-Khilaf al-Madhabi), let alone issues that are differed over by various Madhabs (which is known as al-Khilaf al-'Aali). In fact, one of the most dangerous practises many of us get involved in is jumping to the roof without climbing the ladder; and that is by going straight for voluminous books such as al-Mugni, before we have finished something as basic as al-'Umdah. Such type of students, show a lot of enthusiasm in the beginning, however, it most usually wears out only after the first few chapters, and they remain ignorant of the rest 98% of the Sharee'ah. Therefore, please adhere to the advice of scholars. Start with a small Matn (text), and don't worry about the difference of opinion, until you have consolidated your knowledge in the basics of Fiqh. The Sheikh then mentions two of the important terminologies specific to the Hanbalis, and they are: al-Wujuh and al-Riwayat. 'Al-Wujuh' is the plural for al-Wajh which means an opinion, whereas 'al-Riwayat' is the plural for al-Riyawah which means a narration. Often the Hanbali scholars while dealing with various issues, state: "Such and such issue has two Riwayat from Ahmad" or "such and such is permissible in Wajh and Makruh in Wajh". Hence, it becomes important for the reader to know what they exactly mean by al-Riyawat and al-Wajh. Generally, an issue of Fiqh is either a) based on an explicit statement of Imam Ahmad, or b) not based on it. a) If it is based on an explicit text of Imam Ahmad, then the Hanbalis refer to it as a 'Nass' (explicit text), or by saying: 'wa 'anhu' (lit. meaning: according to a narration from him). For example: Al-'Asr is the middle prayer, and that is the Madhab, Imam Ahmad Nassa 'Alaihi (explicitly stated it). Or; During the prayer, the Musalli places his right hand over the left and places them under the navel in the Madhab, wa 'anhu (another narration from the Imam) above the navel, wa 'anhu he has a choice in both of the aforementioned positions. These riwayat are called al-Riwayat al-Mutlaqah (i.e. explicit narrations) b) In issues of Fiqh where no explicit statement of the Imam is found, the Hanbalis extracted opinions from the explicit statements of the Imam in resembling issues. However, they differed amongst themselves, as to the extracted opinions based on the opinions of Imam Ahmad, are they in fact his Madhab or not? Those of the Hanbalis who regarded their extracted opinions to be the Madhab of Imam Ahmad, called this type: al-Riwayah al-Mukharrajah (i.e. extracted narrations). As for those who did not regard it to be the Madhab of Imam Ahmad, called this type Wujuh. For example: The one who uses gold and silver utensils to make Wudhu, there are two Wajhs with regards to the validity of such Wudhu. * The Sheikh then says: "Some of our scholars asked us to summarise it, so that it becomes simple to understand for the learners, and easy to memorise for the students". Hence, I would strongly encourage the brothers and sisters to memorise as much as they can. As Sh Ibn Uthaimeen said that the way a student benefits from a text he memorises cannot be compared to the benefit gained by simply reading it even with deep understanding. * The Sheikh finally says: "I also mentioned authentic Ahadeeth, seeking their blessings and depending on them, which I chose from authentic collections, so that I wouldn't need to reference them to various collections" This is from the beauty of this book as in every chapter he mentions an authentic Hadeeth of the Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wasallam, which serves as a basis for that particular chapter, in order to instil in the hearts of students the love for Sunnah of the Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa-sallam. You may post your questions or comments below, InshaaAllah.
JazakAllaahu khair... It would be useful to have an print option by which we could print off a copy of a specific post...
Assalamualaykum wr wb I just registered in the fiqh class. I'd like to obtain a copy of the book that is recommended for this class. I can easily find this book in any online islamic bookstore. But all of those books are written in arabic. I cannot find a single english translation of this book out there. I was wondering if anyone know any publisher that has published the english translation of this book and where possibly i can get them ( I live in USA btw). Thank you so much Wassalamualaykum wr wb

Students Complete 20th Year of Medical Mission Trips to Central America
Tuesday, September 17, 2013
By Britain Miethe
For the 20th consecutive year, pre-med and health science students from Lee University traveled to Guatemala and Honduras during the summer to provide medical care for those in need.
Students departed on June 12 for the Guatemalan city of Huehuetenango, where they stayed during their trip. The group served more than 1,500 patients in 10 clinics over a 16-day period.
The team served under the direction of the Iglesia de Dios Evangelio Completo District Supervisor Estuardo Clara Vela and worked with local health care providers in order to ensure proper continuity of care. Dr. Jeri Veenstra, professor of health science at Lee, was the faculty sponsor and dentist for the trip.
Along with receiving service hours and course credits, participating students learn more about the need for competent health care workers in poverty-stricken areas.
"The primary goal of our program is to introduce and encourage students in providing health care for the poor throughout their careers," said Veenstra.
This year's Guatemala team consisted of Lee faculty, students and alumni, along with a few friends and family, and included Dr. Erin Bailey, Jared Barton, Rachel Boltniew, Ankita Chaudhari, Elliot Edwards, Amanda Gibbs, Dr. Lorin Holst, Michelle Holst, Alex Huelskamp, Laura Jones, Billie Jones, Shelby Lane, Kelsey Lovingood, Bradley Oroszi, Lynnette Riley, Bedford Smith, Willa Smith, Jim Veenstra, Dr. Jeri Veenstra, and Laurie Womac.
In addition to the Guatemala team, another group of Lee students, under the direction of Ms. JoBeth Boyer, Dr. Eddie Brown, Dr. DeWayne Knight, and Dr. Keven Bowdle went to serve with Dr. Martin and Wendy Williams at the Jungle Hospital in Rio Viejo, Atlántida, Honduras.
Both teams were able to provide medical, pediatric, dental, optometric, and pharmaceutical care to the local villages in their respective areas. They also partner with area pastors in order to ensure that spiritual, as well as physical, care is available for those who need it.
Other team members included Renee Brown, Jackson Bowdle, Janay Boyer, and Lee students Taylor Bailey, Garrett Bowdle, Anita Chukwu, Zack Deering, Chad Flora, Christina Grimsley, Christin Henry, Cedrica Postenrieder, Michelle Spangler, and Baylor Spotts.
Working with the Williams' ministry, Healing Hands Global (HHG), the Honduras team was able to see over 750 patients in seven villages. Four clinic days at the Jungle Hospital were also included.
"In the five years Lee has been partnering with HHG Honduras, the 25,000 residents of this isolated region have become measurably healthier," said Boyer. "Through the generous support of Lee, plus numerous grants by medical non-profits, the Lee team brings in between $75,000 and $200,000 in pharmaceuticals to minister to the people of Honduras."

That is great!! Usually takes them at least a month or so to learn to crawl from this point. My Ds was doing the same thing around 4 months and didn't crawl until 7 months. But every baby is different so you never know :)
Posted 10/26/2012
Maybe - Every child is different.
My ODS was crawling at 5 months, standing at 6 months, standing unassisted at 7 months and walking unassisted a week before he turned 9 months old.

ABC News' Sheila Marikar reports:
Could Sarah Palin be looking to move into the lower 48?
The former governor of Alaska and may have purchased a home in north Scottsdale, Ariz., according to multiple published reports.
The Arizona Republic reported Saturday that Safari Investments LLC paid $1.695 million for an 8,000-square-foot home in what seems to have been a deal staged to protect the identity of a high-profile buyer. According to the paper, the gated stucco home features six bedrooms, five bathrooms, a six-car garage, a swimming pool, a spa and a basement equipped with a home theater, billiards room and wine cellar.
Representatives for Palin did not immediately respond to ABC News' requests for comment.
Arizona is familiar ground for Palin — it's home to Sen. John McCain, her running mate in the 2008 presidential election. Palin's eldest daughter, Bristol Palin, also bought a house in Maricopa, Ariz., earlier this year.

How does ag communicate with consumers?
Auburn, Ill., farmer Tim Seifert has a question for consumers. âWhere did we go wrong?â With so many people bent on bashing modern food production, Seifert wants to understand how agriculture lost consumersâ trust. Itâs a valid question.
State ag directors gather to talk farm issues
NASDA members also passed policy amendments on national commodity check off programs and agriculture mediation programs, additionally they passed action items on rail transportation, invasive species, trade with Cuba, national labeling of food derived from genetic engineering, Country of Origin Labeling (COOL), and agriculture in the classroom.
Rules of the road for farm transportation
Although the laws havenât changed that much, Curtis says a reminder every now and then can keep farmers safe and free of fines. Such fines can be divvied out due to being overweight, so Curtis discussed the three weight limits in Ohio important to farmers.
Toxic-algae bill likely to get Ohio Senate vote today
The Senate bill prohibits the spreading of manure on northwestern Ohio fields that are frozen or saturated with water, or if the weather forecast says the chance of 1 inch of rain over the next 12 hours is greater than 50 percent. Some argue that the forecast protection covers only manure, not fertilizer as was originally proposed.
Agriculture Giants Boost Cybersecurity to Shield Farm Data
Companies including Monsanto Co. and Deere & Co. are investing more in cybersecurity as the farming business grows more datacentric, with satellite-steered tractors and algorithm-driven planting services expanding across the U.S. Farm Belt, executives said at an industry event Thursday.
Does the farm-to-table movement actually help farmers?
the advantages of this âfarm-to-tableâ dining trend have not been completely realized across the entire food chain. Itâs nice to think that by supporting restaurants where local ingredients are on the menu, weâve helped local farmers. But can we do more?
A New Network for Women in Agriculture
To be a woman in agriculture is to face a unique set of challenges. And because I know all too well the trials that women can face as they look to take on leadership roles, I made it a goal as USDAâs Deputy Secretary to start a community for women leaders in agriculture.
US, EU agriculture leaders try to ease trade concerns
the "moment is ripe to create a trade super highway between the EU and the U.S." but there's no denying there's several roadblocks and detours that lie ahead.
The Future Of Agriculture? Smart Farming
The agricultural sector is going to face enormous challenges in order to feed the 9.6 billion people that the FAO predicts are going to inhabit the planet by 2050. One way to address these issues and increase the quality and quantity of agricultural production is using sensing technology to make farms more âintelligentâ
Ohio Senate passes water quality bill
The billâs main focus is on preventing the winter application of manure and fertilizer to frozen and snow covered ground in the Western Lake Erie Basin, although the bill also restricts dredging and requires new testing at water treatment plants.

Witch window manager on sale for 48 hours
The folks over at Many Tricks have put Witch on sale for US$10 (normally $19) until 7 AM Pacific Time on Friday, January 28.
It's been awhile since we talked about Witch on TUAW, but it's a perennial favorite utility to switch between windows.
Witch shows you not just which applications are running, but it also shows you all of the different windows that are running in those applications. For example, right now I have three different windows open in BBEdit; if I use Cmd+Tab switching to move between applications, I can switch to Safari and then back to BBEdit, but Witch doesn't just let me switch to BBEdit, it allows me to specify that "I want to switch from Safari to the BBEdit window that has the article I'm writing about Witch."
If you haven't seen it in action, you can download a free trial from the Many Tricks website, which also has some screenshots available.
Witch is available for purchase either through the website or through the Mac App Store.

In what has quickly become a rather odd trend, another Gamecube game has been given the cold shoulder by Nintendo's press conference and show floor booth. Baten Kaitos Origins is far from an obscure game--in fact, the confirmation that the sequel to Namco's card-battling RPG is headed to US shores should be enough to send fans into some sort of stupor. Origins follows the adventures of a brand new set of characters, the main one finding himself fleeing from authorities after being framed for a nasty murder (don't you just hate it when that happens?). We're glad the card-based battle system is back, but we sincerely hope Nintendo and Namco take the voice acting more seriously than last time.
From the official fact sheet: Baten Kaitos Origins takes place 20 years before the first Baten Kaitos game. It explains how the diabolical Emperor Geldoblame rose to power, and it also fills in many details about the heroes from the first title. In addition, players will learn about the origins of the world itself and why the Lost Ocean is returning.
Check out the trailer here. We insist.
