This in-depth 55 lesson course offers students a unique opportunity to study *Nūr al-Idāḥ*, the celebrated Hanafi primer authored by Imām al-Shurunbulālī (d. 1069 AH), one of the foremost jurists of the later Hanafi tradition. Widely taught across the Muslim world for centuries, the text remains a foundational manual for understanding the practical rulings of worship within the Hanafi school.
Through a detailed commentary of the text (including over 1,000 Qs & As), students will develop a comprehensive understanding of purification and prayer, including wuḍūʾ, ghusl, tayammum, menstruation, ritual impurities, the conditions and integrals of prayer, congregational prayer, and related legal discussions. Alongside the practical rulings, the course will also introduce students to the evidences and legal reasoning underpinning the Hanafi school, enabling a deeper appreciation of its juristic methodology and scholarly tradition.
Particular emphasis will be placed on clarity, practical application, and structured learning, ensuring students gain both confidence in their worship and a solid grounding in Hanafi fiqh. The course is suitable for students seeking a systematic and thorough study of Islamic law at both introductory and intermediate levels.
About the Text
Nur al-Idah
Nur al-Idah is a Hanafi text written by Imam Shurunbulali (d. 1069 ah)which includes vast areas of jurisprudence, namely, the rulings pertaining to worship. It leaves the student or general reader well prepared to deal with the majority of matters ranging from purification, prayer, funerals, zakah to hajj.
It reveals in a small way as to why the Hanafi Madhhab is held in such high esteem from scholars all over the world. It is practical, sensible and can be used as a reference book. This book is based on the teachings of Imam Abu Hanifa and his students, namely Imam Muhammad, Abu Yusuf and Zufar; and will provide the reader with a brief look as to why the Hanafi Madhhab is the most widely embraced in the world today.
For this course, we will cover the section on purification and prayer.
