The renowned book is in need of no introduction as Allaah has granted it acceptance amongst His creation. It is a book authored on clarifying the reality of Monotheism and the different types of polytheistic beliefs and practices, the author suffices himself to mentioning the relevant Ayaat, Ahaadeeth and statements of the Salaf under each chapter and then mentions the benefits derived from them. The purpose of this course is to explain this famous book in an easy and simple way so that Muslims from every walk of life can understand the correct Islamic ‘Aqeedah, and can save themselves, their family and friends from the Fire of Hell.

Salaah (Prayer) performed genuinely with humility and submission to Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) has unlimited virtues and benefits. It is the noblest expression of faith and the surest way of thanking Allah (subhanahuwa ta'ala) for His unlimited favors. It is the way to obtaining Allah's mercy, generosity, kindness, blessings and a sure way to paradise. Allah (subhanahuwa ta'ala) says in the Noble Qur'aan: “Prosperous indeed are the believers who are humble in their prayers” [Soorah Al-Mu'minun 23:1-2] Unfortunately, today many Muslims offer Salaah in a careless manner following their own whims and desires. This is why most of our Salaah offerings remain deprived of the gleams and blessings of Sunnah. The Fiqh of Salaah course is divided into three parts and its purpose is to teach the Fiqh of Salaah in the light of the Qur’aan and the authentic Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him). This is the first part of the Fiqh of Salaah course teaching some very important matters related to the prayers.

Allaah has made Prayer compulsory on his slaves and ordered them to establish it and perform it well. The Prayer was one of the most important things which the Prophet (peace be upon him) explained to the people, verbally and practically, even praying on the pulpit once - standing, bowing and prostrating, and then saying to them, “I have done this so that you may follow me and learn my prayer.” [Bukhaaree & Muslim]

This is the second part of the Fiqh of Salaah course teaching the Description of the Prophet’s Prayer.

Usool at-Tafseer (lit. The Fundamental Principles of Qur’aanic Interpretation), essentiallyrefers to the branches of knowledge which are necessary to provide an accurate interpretation of the Qur’aanic texts. Usool at-Tafseer addresses the actual step-by-step methodology of interpreting the Qur’aan to ensure that interpretations are not merely the result of human whims and fancies.

The goal of this text is to provide a detailed basic foundation on the Science of Hadeeth. It builds on the material found in the Foundations of Islaamic Studies course available on this site.
