Why this Islamic Course?

The module on Islamic Law (Fiqh/Shari’ah) offers a comprehensive exploration of legal rulings derived from the Quranic injunctions and Prophetic traditions, as interpreted and elucidated by jurists throughout Islamic history. Fiqh, often defined as the understanding or knowledge of God's rules governing human actions, delves into categorizations such as required (wajib), sinful (haram), recommended (mandub), disapproved (makruh), or neutral (mubah) acts, forming the intricate framework of Islamic jurisprudence.

Central to the study of Fiqh are legal maxims (Qawa'id Al-Fiqhiyyah) that guide the application of Islamic law, emphasizing overarching principles such as mercy, guidance, justice, and the preservation of life and rights. These maxims serve as guiding lights, ensuring that legal rulings align with the underlying spirit and objectives of Islamic teachings.
Furthermore, students delve into the profound concept of maqasid al-Shari’ah, or the objectives of Islamic law. This framework illuminates the overarching goals and purposes behind Divine legislation, emphasizing principles such as the preservation of faith, life, intellect, lineage, and wealth. By understanding these maqasid, students gain insights into the rationale behind specific legal rulings and their broader societal impact, fostering a nuanced and holistic approach to Islamic jurisprudence.

Throughout the module, students engage in in-depth analyses of legal texts, case studies, and juristic interpretations, enhancing their understanding of the dynamic nature of Fiqh and its application in contemporary contexts. By exploring the Divine objectives and ethical underpinnings of Islamic law, students not only gain a deeper appreciation for its complexity but also develop a profound sense of responsibility in upholding justice, equity, and compassion within the framework of Islamic jurisprudence.

01

I feel that the most impactful module was Tasawwuf because it really spoke to me from the heart, it made me reflect on what I have been doing right and what I've been doing wrong and for me to make myself a better person. I feel like I need some kind of motivation to keep on pursuing my religion and to learn more about my religion and that is what this course provides me with. This course, it gives me a checkpoint that every single week, at least I come back and I  learn something about Islam.

I’ve actually been studying in SimplyIslam for 13 years so it's more than half my life! SimplyIslam really shaped my understanding of Islam and how I should live my life as a Muslimah, so I'm very thankful for SimplyIslam. Having a structured lesson or course such as Al-Mishkat really emphasizes and builds upon our existing Islamic knowledge in a more controlled manner rather than having us to look for information online by ourselves.

You're not only gaining knowledge, but you're also engaging in spiritual practices related to Tasawwuf. There are certain dhikr and salawat that our teachers recommend we do. All these elements enhance our understanding and spirituality, helping us transform into individuals who can positively impact society.
