Fiqh

Fiqh (basic Islamic jurisprudence)

Purpose of study

The purpose of Fiqh is to attain an in-depth understanding of the basic tenets and practices of Islam. Fiqh constitutes the boundaries outlined by Allah which govern the way rituals ought to be practiced and should, therefore, be adhered to. The principles of Islamic Jurisprudence deals with the derivation of laws relating to all matters of worship, dealings or any type of act conducted in this life from the Qur’an and the Sunnah (lifestyle) of His Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam). Subsequently, studying Fiqh helps to better understand religion, revealing the path to augment the quality of worship by arriving at the rules which will lead to happiness in this life and the next.
