About
Understanding the rulings in the Qur’an, is a series of classes which discuss a unique feature of the words of Allah. The content of the Qur’an can be divided into three segments stories, matters pertaining to faith and finally rulings (the do’s and the don’ts). These are known as the ahkam, and they require a special skill set in order to be understood correctly. Be the Ayaat al ahkam the smallest of the three aspects, roughly 500 verses out 6348, they are the most intricate and require special attention.
Imam As-Shafie said: “The one who comprehends the ayat al Ahkam in the Qur’an directly or by deduction, then Allah has truly blessed this person with righteous speech and actions”.
During the lifetime of the Prophet, questions were answered directly by him, there was no room for disagreements or confusion. But after the death of the Prophet and with the rapid expansion of the ummah eastwards and westwards an array of new questions needed answering. So, rules, guidelines and procedures were put in place, all based on the Qur’an and Sunnah which were then used to deduce rulings. These procedures were formulated by schools of thought, all which will be discussed in some detail in this amazing course.
