A full reading of the beautiful Hanafi fiqh primer, Ithaf al-Talib, written by one of the foremost scholars of the Arabian Hanafi tradition of Ahsa’, Abu Bakr al-Mulla. The work is comprised of three sections, as per the Hadith of Gabriel, and it is an excellent text for beginner students; notably, it is also superior, as a first step, to the more commonly studied Nur al-Idah given its moderation in detail and comprehensiveness in scope.
Description: This is an on-demand, audio recordings-based course which covers the essentials of Islam–Beliefs, Practice and Spirituality–through the reading of a short Hanafi primer. The instructor may be reached privately for any questions.
Basic Beliefs, Purification and Prayer, Zakat, Fasting, Hajj, the Ritual Sacrifice, the Lawful and the Unlawful, and a concluding section on the science of Islamic Spirituality.
