I did ask for an Islamic glossary on here but not many responded to it..

anyways to the best of my knowledge the terms mean;

Aqueedah literally means belief. Its the belief system that is based upon a firm conviction in all the fundamentals of faith and of the Oneness of Allah, his angels, the revealed books, his messengers. the day of judgement etc.


Fiqh is a science of religious jurisprudence, basically Islamic law. it's an extremely large and very complex topic of Islamic studies and involves the understanding, comprehension, knowledge, and jurisprudence in Islam. The most famous scholars of Fiqh in the history Muslims are the founders of the four schools of thought in Islam: Imam Malik, Imam Ash-Shafi'i, Imam Abu Hanifah, and Imam Ahmad.

Do correct me if I'm wrong but to the best of my knowledge, in laymens terms, Aqeedah is basically your belief system and Fiqh is making practical sense of it.

You can often stick the word into Wikipedia to get a definition for the major terms.
