Overview
This is the second stage of a five-stage program which will take students through a formal, detailed, and holistic study of the Hanafi school via a pedagogically sound and structured curriculum. The carefully curated works chosen for the program focus on instilling a strong, principled, and in-depth understanding of the Hanafi school in every participant. You can learn more about the program here.
At Level One, students will learn about Hanafi hadith methodology in considerable detail using selections from Iʿlam al-Anam bi Istiʿab al-Imam Abi Hanifa li Ahadith al-Ahkam, and they will complete their first reading of a classical primer in Legal Theory through the Mukhtasar al-Manar. The student’s journey in mastering the fiqh of Imam Abu Hanifa will occur through the Kifayat al-Mubtadi, a text which focuses on transmitting the madhhab with brevity, allowing the student to focus and grasp all the central masaʾil with clarity. The specialised text at this level is the al-Mansak al-Saghir by Rahmatu ‘Llah al-Sindi which is a detailed treatise on the hajj pilgrimage. In their first work on Ahadith al-Ahkam, specifically according to the Hanafi school, students will study the Musnad Abi Hanifa. Students will also cover the transmitted beliefs by studying Imam Abu Hanifa’s Wasiyya, and finally, students will study inward fiqh, namely, the proper etiquettes of practising the shariʿa in one’s life from the beautiful work, Shirʿat al-Islam.
This course is delivered through a combination of live sessions and recorded classes.

Testimonials
In the era of endless online programs, the HLCP program with Shaykh Tabraze stands apart as something truly exceptional. Even though we are behind screens, Shaykh has an incredible ability to connect hearts, create community, and foster meaningful bonds. The curriculum is rooted in traditional texts, is holistic and meticulously structured, yet thought-provoking and empowering at every step. It has ignited a real love within me for our tradition and for the rich science of fiqh. What I appreciate most is the clarity of vision throughout the program. There is a steadfast dedication to authentic, classical Hanafism that is a much-needed anchor in times of confusion. These past few years have not been just attending a course, but a truly transformative journey that I am deeply grateful to have been a part of.
For me, Level One of the Hanafi Legal Program was exactly what a program in the Islamic sciences should aspire to be: transformative. Serving as a continuation of the Foundations Level which preceded it, Level One provided me with a far deeper and more intuitive understanding of the Hanafi school than I had before. Shaykh Tabraze Azam’s knowledge of the Hanafi school is vast and expansive, and his insight is piercing. The opportunity to receive such education is rare, and so as I have to many already, I wholeheartedly recommend Level One to all those looking to truly understand the Hanafi school.
The HLCP Level 1 was an amazing experience. Shaykh Tabraze is an amazing teacher who brings the Hanafi tradition to life. It has been enlightening to see the tradition holistically.
