Essential Beliefs & Practices in Islam

Description

This book is a comprehensive, structured guide designed to introduce and explain the foundational elements of Islamic faith, law, and daily practice. Judging by the detailed table of contents and the visual aids inside, it serves as an excellent reference manual for both beginners and those looking to consolidate their understanding of Fiqh (jurisprudence) and Tarahah (purification).

​Key features and topics covered in the book include:

​Foundations of Islamic Law: It breaks down the primary sources (The Qur’an and Sunnah) and secondary sources (Ijma and Qiyas) of Islamic jurisprudence, along with an overview of the four major Madhhabs (schools of thought) and their Imams.

​Hygiene and Purification: Detailed chapters guide the reader through the rules of cleanliness, Wudhu (ablution), Ghusl (purification bath), Tayammum (dry purification), and practical rulings like wiping over leather socks or bandages.

​The Pillars of Islam: It features extensive sections dedicated to core practices, specifically offering step-by-step visual guides on how to perform Salah (prayer), Zakat (charity), Hajj (pilgrimage), and Umrah.

​User-Friendly Layout: The book utilizes clear, color-coded sections, illustrative diagrams (such as prayer postures and maps of Al-Masjid Al-Haram), and relevant scriptural proofs from the Qur’an and Hadith to make the rulings highly accessible and easy to implement.
