Pillars of Islam

Before you can play a game, you have to learn the rules. What you can do and what you cannot. How the scoring is done. What acts will disqualify you or give a point to the other teams. etc., etc. It is hard to imagine a person being respected as a good sportsman if he is not knowledgeable about the rules of the game.

Praying is a lot more serious activity than playing. Unfortunately many of us do not give even as much attention to the rules for praying as we do to rules for playing. If we were aware of their importance, our priorities would be exactly the opposite.

Allah sent the prophets to teach us. They taught us everything we need to know to conduct ourselves so we can be true winners here and in the hereafter. Great scholars and jurists have compiled their teachings into rules and laws called fiqh. It is our duty to learn everyday fiqh.

This section provides fiqh rules based on the Hanafi school. The information has been gathered from reliable sources. However there is always a possibility of making mistakes. We request our knowledgeable readers to point out any errors or omissions.
