This online course is a recommended prerequisite for other subjects that will follow, such as Hanafi Fiqh, Hanafi Creed, and so forth (inShaAllah). It is aimed at giving you framework for understanding our Deen (Religion). The well-known Hadith of Jibreel (alayhe salaam), also known as Umm al-Sunnah (The Mother of the Prophetic Traditions) is the foundation for this course. In Sha Allah, once you understand the roadmap of the Deen, understanding the place and need for the other necessary sciences of Islam will become clear as well, and you would easily be able to introduce others (Muslim and non-Muslims) to the practice, the belief, and the spirituality of Islam.

- Explain the meaning of the term Islam.
- Describe the five pillars of practice and their significance.
