FIQH RULINGS

In the Name of Allah the most Gracious most Merciful

Join our online course for an overview of key Fiqh concepts, including Zakat, Hajj, Umrah, Nikah, Talaq, and Janazah. This essential information is presented clearly and concisely, making it accessible to every Muslim. Additionally, we will explore aspects of personal growth throughout the program.

• Fiqh of Zakah is a branch of Islamic jurisprudence that deals with the rules and regulations regarding the mandatory almsgiving in Islam known as Zakah. This includes discussions on the types of wealth subject to Zakah, the calculation of Zakah, eligible recipients, and the proper distribution of Zakah funds in accordance with Islamic teachings.

• Fiqh of Hajj & Umrah focuses on the religious pilgrimage to Mecca, known as Hajj, and the lesser pilgrimage, Umrah. It covers the rituals, obligations, and prohibitions associated with these acts of worship, detailing the steps involved in performing Hajj and Umrah correctly. This branch of Fiqh guides Muslims on the proper conduct during these sacred journeys.

• Fiqh of Nikah deals with the Islamic jurisprudence related to marriage. It encompasses the rules and regulations governing the marriage contract, the rights and responsibilities of spouses, conditions for a valid marriage, and the proper procedures for conducting a Nikah ceremony. This branch of Fiqh aims to ensure that marriages in Islam are conducted in accordance with Islamic principles.

• Fiqh of Talaq pertains to the Islamic jurisprudence governing divorce. It addresses the conditions and procedures for issuing a divorce (Talaq), the rights and responsibilities of both spouses during and after divorce, and the ethical considerations involved. This branch of Fiqh seeks to regulate divorce in a manner consistent with Islamic teachings and to safeguard the well-being of individuals and families.

Fiqh of Janaazah refers to the Islamic jurisprudence related to funeral rites and burial. In Islam, there are specific guidelines and rituals to be followed when a Muslim passes away.

Personal Growth:

Journaling is an essential process for developing a better understanding of ourselves and why we do what we do. Journaling helps us investigate and dig deeper, gather data and information, and then reflect.

The style of journaling we will be exploring is highly focused, meaning what is being written is very specific. Rather than free writing, this journaling focuses specifically on recording thoughts, emotions and behaviours. The goal is to develop awareness of how our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours relate to each other and what causes them, and then to use what is learned to make changes that impact behaviour, and therefore, results.

By tracking your experiences, you will begin to see thought patterns, emotional tendencies, and behaviour patterns and how they connect. By recording these behaviours and reflecting on what is going on in your mind and your experience.

Topics:

The ABCDEF Journaling Process:

• Identifying Activating Events, Beliefs & Consequences
• Disputing Irrational Thinking, Beliefs and Perspectives
• Changing the Meaning You Assign
• Determining the Desired Effect, Taking Action & Creating Change.
