Why this course matters: Build a strong foundation for understanding the Qur’an and engaging with it meaningfully in daily life.
The Qur’an is the central source of guidance in Islam, shaping the faith, worldview, and intellectual tradition of Muslims for over fourteen centuries. Understanding the Qur’an requires not only engaging with its message, but also becoming familiar with the disciplines developed by Muslim scholars to preserve, interpret, and reflect upon it.
This course offers a structured introduction to the Qur’an and the classical sciences developed around it (ʿUlum al-Qur’an). Students will explore the history of revelation, the compilation and preservation of the Qur’an, its organization and themes, and the scholarly methods used to understand its meanings.
Key topics include:

Why this course matters: Ensure your daily worship is sound, confident, and grounded in reliable scholarship.
This course offers a structured study of purification (ṭahārah) and prayer (ṣalāh) according to the Hanafi madhhab.
Many Muslims have not formally studied these essential acts of worship, despite their status as personal obligations (farḍ ʿayn). This course addresses that gap through a clear and systematic presentation of the foundational rulings governing purification and daily prayer.
The course is based primarily on the classical Hanafi primer Ascent to Felicity (Marāqī al-Saʿādāt) by Abu’l-Ikhlāṣ Ḥasan al-Shurunbulālī, along with supplementary references such as Al-Fiqh al-Hanafi wa Adillatuhu where beneficial.
Students will gain clarity, confidence, and practical knowledge while also being introduced to key differences between madhāhib where relevant.
Studying fiqh in an organized manner helps reduce doubt, avoid confusion, and minimize reliance on inconsistent or fragmented sources.
