Fasting & Zakat Course!!!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fasting and Zakah are two of five pillars of Islam and are both fardh 'ayn (obligatory on every individual). With Ramadhan so near, every Muslim must take spiritual and academic preparation for it. It is also common for Muslims to choose Ramadan as the ideal month to fulfil the Zakah obligation as their reward is multiple for paying their Zakah and additionally for performing the noble deed in the month of Ramadhan.
For every act of worship undertaken by a Muslim there is always an additional obligation: seeking enough knowledge about it so that it is performed correctly. This is known as obligatory knowledge. Just as fasting and Zakah are fardh 'ayn, so too is seeking knowledge about them fardh 'ayn. A fact often not understood or under-emphasised by many Muslims.
Ebrahim College has organised two short courses to help brothers and sisters fulfil this obligation effectively. These courses are designed to cover all of the necessary knowledge needed to discharge these two duties correctly as well as maximise reward from Allah .
Each course will comprise the following:
The Fasting Course
• Virtues and benefits of fasting, the month of Ramadhan and lailat al-qadr
• Types of fasting
• Conditions, essentials, sunnahs and etiquettes, reprehensible and nullifiers of fasting; and the reasons for which an ongoing fast can be broken.
• Fasting and medication, and other miscellaneous issues
• Making up for the missed fast, expiatory fasts and redemptive payments
• The fiqh of I'tikaf
• 'Eid and Sadaqatul Fitr
• Q&A
The Zakah Course:
