🌿 Fiqh of Islamic Rulings Course (Online)
📖 Learn the Rulings of Islam with Clarity and Confidence
Islamic Jurisprudence (Fiqh) is one of the most honorable and essential sciences in Islam. It teaches a Muslim how to worship Allah with knowledge and understanding, and how to live according to divine guidance in all aspects of life — worship, transactions, family, and character.
Fiqh is the practical application of Islam — it helps us distinguish between what is lawful and unlawful, ensuring that our acts of worship, dealings, and behavior align with the Qur’an and Sunnah.
“And it is not for the believers to go forth [to battle] all at once. For there should separate from every division of them a group [remaining] to obtain understanding in the religion and warn their people when they return to them that they might be cautious.”
(Surah At-Tawbah, 9:122)
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
“When Allah wishes good for someone, He grants him understanding of the religion.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari & Muslim)
Studying Fiqh is not only about learning rulings; it is a path to spiritual insight and balanced living. It connects the believer to the wisdom and mercy behind Islamic law, helping him apply its principles with justice, compassion, and awareness of the purposes (Maqasid) of Shari‘ah.
