Course Introduction
Salah is the most important religious duty that Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) has given every believer. That makes learning about salah and purification (wudhu, ritual bath, tayammum) an obligatory area of learning, no less important than the prayer itself. Yes, it is fardh to learn the rules of salah.
If you do not know the basic rules of prayer or are yet to learn them as a new Muslim or are someone starting to practise Islam, then the reason why you must study this course is obvious.
For people who do pray and think they know the rules, and may be thinking, this is basic stuff, you should know this: unless you are absolutely certain you are not making serious mistakes, then salah is too important to take risks with. The rules of salah should be learnt thoroughly and revised regularly.
Scholars and imams regularly testify to the basic mistakes they see people make in the wudhu areas and prayer halls of the masajid.
This online on-demand course is a detailed study of the rules of purification and prayer according to the hanafi madhab, the school of jurisprudence that most Muslims in the UK and the West follow. If you do not know which school you follow, then this course can be your introduction to how Islamic law works and a clear guide for your prayer. It doesn’t matter which madhhab you follow.
Mawarid Lifestyle will also run the same course based on other schools of jurisprudence (Maliki, Shafi’i, Hanbali) in the future, InshaAllah.
The course is online on-demand, so you will have access to it all the time to review and double check your knowledge from anywhere in the world. Furthermore, the confidence that this Course will give you will make you an effective teacher of salah for your children and loved ones.
Q&A AND CONTACT WITH THE TEACHER
Students will be invited to a chat group with the teacher to facilitate Q&A and constant contact with the teacher.
There will also be scheduled live Q&A sessions with the teacher for more direct help and detailed explanations.
