Summary/Abstract: Hasan Kafi Pruščak is one of the most renowned Islamic scholars in Balkans. In the field of Aqaid he wrote a number of outstanding works of which “Gardens of Paradise on Principles of Creed” (Rewdatul-džennat fi usūl al-i‘tiqādāt) is one of the most significant wherein he summed up most relevant works on Aqaid studied in Islamic schools of our area in that time. This book was translated and published in our language. As the book received much attention, upon requests of some distinguished people, he wrote commentary on this work and titled it Flowers of the Gardens in interpretation of The Gardens of Paradise (Ezharur-rewdat fi šerhi Rewdatul-džennat. Regrettably, this book is not well known to our readers due to the fact that it remained unpublished for a very long time, then it was edited and published in Arabic language. In this article the author presents this work of Hasan Kafi, his motives for writing it, Kafi’s attitude towards ‘Ilm el-Kalam, methodology and sources he used and some of the issues in the field of Aqaid treated by Kafi in his works.
