'''Daʿāʾim al-Islām wa dhikr al-ḥalāl wa l-ḥarām wa l-qaḍāyā wa l-aḥkām ʿan Ahl Bayt Rasūl Allāh ʿalayh wa ʿalayhim afḍal al-salām''' (Arabic:{{ia| دعائم الاسلام و ذکر الحلال و الحرام والقضایا و الاحکام عن اهل بیت رسول الله علیه و علیهم افضل السلام}}) is a book concerning religious beliefs and the rulings of shari'a on the basis of [[Isma'ili]] [[fiqh]]. It is the most important book written by [[Qadi Nu'man]] regarding fiqh, which was written at the request of the [[Fatimid]] [[caliph]], [[al-Mu'izz li Din Allah]]. The book contains all standard sections of fiqh. Moreover, it opens with a section called "kitab al-wilayah", in which the author deals with most important Isma'ili beliefs, such as [[iman]] (faith) and its difference from Islam, [[wilayah]] of [[Ahl al-Bayt (a)]], and the significance of learning Islamic disciplines.
