CPT: Mark of a Jurist
How does the Shariah answer modern problems? How do jurists find answers to awe inspiring questions? Take a journey into the heart of fiqh and learn about the rules that govern it.
The essence of fiqh is based around certain golden rules which summarise for its student fiqh in all its vastness. Through these rules, a person increases in his wisdom, achieves scholarly insight, affirms the principles of fiqh, becomes aware of its specifics and, most importantly, these rules clarify to him the goals and purposes of Shariah.
“Nothing that I have ever studied about Islam, has changed my thinking and allowed me to mature in my thoughts about this deen and about what Allah wants from us from our life in the 21st Century, like the knowledge of the rules of Fiqh. A person who learns it grows wiser by the day and is rewarded with amazing insight into this religion.” [Sheikh Tawfique Chowdhury]
