Fiqh
As part of the fundamentals of Islam it is fard upon every mu’min to know their deen. Fiqh provides clear guidance on how to lead a good and meaningful life in accordance with Islamic teachings. It answers questions about how to conduct worship and religious rituals, how to deal with family matters such as marriage and divorce, and how to conduct business and commerce in a just and equitable manner.
The teachings of Fiqh in hifz Sulaymaniyah are according to Hanafi madhab, we base our teachings of Fiqh according to imam Azam’s teachings and his followers.
Kitabah
Beautiful writing is the aesthetics of Islam. Seen in most historical artifacts, kitabah is the decoration and the commodity that is foremost seen or acknowledged in Islam. The writing style (font) we teach in Hifz Suleymaniye is Rik’ah.
Rik’ah is the name given to a smooth, round and agile type of Nesih and is the most used cursive form of Arabic letters.
This handwriting format simplified to save time and space during the writing of things that were brief. The letters are either unconnected or linked. In the Middle Ages, rik’ah, which was most widely used in Muslim countries, later gained superiority over other handwriting forms in Turkey and in Arab countries except Iran. It was generally used in the writing of documents called ijazah (graduation certificate or diploma). Today, a few calligraphers still work with rik’ah.
It is the font used for daily correspondence, letters and manuscripts during the Ottoman Empire Period and was first used by the Ottoman Empire.
