Islamic Studies course in Canada

Islamic studies is a course of learning about the teachings of Islam. Like how we should live according to Islam. The Islamic studies course in Canada has been introduced to meet the needs of the Muslims living there. In this course, we’ll teach Shariah law, Islamic history, Islamic governing rules, the life of Prophethood and much more. 

The five pillars of Islam(Shahada, Salat, Zakat, Sawm and Hajj), daily life supplications(dua), Asool-e-Deen, and Kalimas will be studied in the classes. Although Islam is considered a religion of knowledge, learning and freedom. Gaining knowledge is compulsory as Prophet Muhammad PBUH said:

طَلَبُ الْعِلْمِ فَرِيضَةٌ عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ

“Seeking knowledge is a duty upon every Muslim.”

Learning Islamic studies is not as important as practising its teachings in life. Even the verses that were revealed to Prophet Muhammad PBUH start with the word “Iqra”. And Iqra means “Read, become educated, Seek knowledge”.

The Importance of Learning Islamic Studies

Let’s see the benefits of Seeking Islamic knowledge.

• We’ll stay away from bad deeds as we move closer to Allah. The things that take away closer to Allah are Zikar, Salat, Sadqah and recitation of the Quran.
• If you know how to worship Allah, you are in luckiest people. Because if you don’t know, you might do innovation(Bidia). That in return, makes your worship useless. To be able to do something well, you have to know about it first. The worship becomes more convenient as a result.

“Knowledge without action is insanity, 

and action without knowledge is vanity.” 

• The person who spends his life seeking knowledge will be rewarded in Duniya as well as Akhirah. Hazrat Muhammad PBUH said:

“Whoever follows a path in the pursuit 

  Of Knowledge, Allah will make easy

  For him a path to Paradise.” 

• It is considered as a Fard trying to obtain information. There are two types of Fard described by scholars:

• Fard al’ Ain:  This means that those Islamic points that every Muslim is obliged to know like pillars of Islam, and method of worshipping, etc.

• Fard al Kifaayah:  The Islamic rules or points that a group of the whole community should know is called Fard al Kifaayah. These may be an implementation of law according to Isalm.
