We do not find a philosophical explanation of the entire legal system of Islam before Shah Wali Allah. Therefore, according to our knowledge, Hujjat Allah al-Balighah is the first work dealing with this subject so extensively and comprehensively and with an intense emphasis which  are  all  its own. Further,  most of its subjects and themes are hitherto  unparallelled. It is  an exclusive distinction of Shah Wali Allah that  he combined the varied discussions on phi- losophy, scholastics, Qur'an. Hadith, and Tasawwuf with  his own forceful contemplation, observation and dialectical vigour

[junaydd]

This work can rightly be called a commentary on the whole of Islam. In all my life I have not been benefited by any human work, as much as God has enabled me to benefit from this book. It is through  this work that I have been able to comprehend Islam  as a well-knit  scheme of life. A number of religious precepts of Islam,. in  which I  used to believe merely as a matter of faith, are now part of my conviction, based on understanding and personal certitude. That was  possible after studying this book
