al-Fiqh al-Akbar 2-Day Intensive Course
Sunni Courses presents a 2-day intensive course on the theological masterpiece
al-Fiqh al-Akbar, one of the
earliest texts on Islamic Beliefs (Aqida). Taking place in the heart of
East London, this is a unique opportunity
for brothers and sisters to read and study the text in its entirety. We
adhere to strict segregation and, due to the demand of such courses, run
a first-come-first-serve policy.

About the Text
"Al-Fiqh al-Akbar is one of the earliest texts written
on Islamic creed and one of the surviving works
of Abu Hanifa,the Great Imam of jurisprudence and theology. Studied for
centuries in the
Muslim world, Al-Fiqh al-Akbar offers a more nuanced, textured approach
to understanding
divine oneness (tawhid), the focal point of Islamic belief. It refines
one’s understanding of the
Creator, the messengers and divine communication, and enables one to gain
much-needed
insight into the realities of this life and the events of the hereafter.

About the Author
“Al-Nu`man ibn Thabit al-Taymi, al-Imam Abu Hanifa (d.
150), called "The Imam" by Abu Dawud, and "The
Imam, one of those who have reached the sky" by Ibn Hajar, he is
known in the Islamic world as "The Greatest
Imam" (al-imâm al-a`zam) and his school has the largest number of
followers among the four schools of Ahl al-
Sunna. He is the first of the four mujtahid imams and the only Successor
(tâbi`i) among them, having seen the
Companions Anas ibn Malik, `Abd Allah ibn Abi Awfa, Sahl ibn Sa`d al-Sa`idi,
Abu al-Tufayl, and `Amir ibn
Wathila.
Abu Hanifa is the first in Islam to organize the writing
of fiqh under sub-headings embracing the whole of the
Law, beginning with purity (tahara) followed by prayer (sala), an order
which was retained by all subsequent
scholars such as Malik, Shafi`i, Abu Dawud, Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmidhi,
and others. All these and their
followers are indebted to him and give him a share of their reward because
he was the first to open that road
for them, according to the hadith of the Prophet: "He who starts
something good in Islam has its reward and the
reward of those who practice it until the Day of Judgement, without lessening
in the least the reward of those
who practice it. The one who starts something bad in Islam will incur
its punishment and the punishment of all
those who practice it until the Day of Judgement without lessening their
punishment in the least." Al-Shafi`i
referred to this when he said: "People are all the children of Abu
Hanifa in fiqh, of Ibn Ishaq in history, of Malik
in hadith, and of Muqatil in tafsîr."
Al-Khatib narrated from Abu Hanifa’s student Abu Nu`aym
that the latter said: "Muslims should make du`a to
Allah on behalf of Abu Hanifa in their prayers, because the Sunan and
the fiqh were preserved for them through
him. Al-Dhahabi wrote one volume on the life of each of the other three
great Imams and said: "The account of
Abu Hanifa’s life requires two volumes." His son Hammad said as he
washed his father’s body for burial: "May
Allah have mercy on you! You have exhausted whoever
tries to catch up with you."”
