2. Sahih (The Authentic) Muslim (817–875)
3. Sunan Abu Dawud
4. Sunan al-Tirmidhi
5. Sunan al-Nasa’i
6. Sunan Ibn Majah

“Adab” (Arabic: أدب‎) and plural: Adaab (Arabic: آداب) of Islam, in the context of behavior, refers to prescribed Islamic etiquette & manners.

Islam has rules of etiquette and an ethical code involving every aspect of life. Adab of Islam represents good manners, courtesy, respect, and appropriateness, covering what to do or to say in daily life acts such as entering or exiting a washroom, posture when sitting, and cleansing oneself.

Pillars of Islam are obligatory and essential acts in Islam and represent the foundation of Muslim life.

There are 5 pillars of Islam:

1. The profession of Faith (Shahada)
2. Prayer (Salat)
3. Alms (Zakat)
4. Fasting (Sawm)
5. Pilgrimage to Mecca (Hajj)

“Aqidah” (in Arabic: عقيدة) is an Islamic term meaning “creed”. It refers to those matters which Muslims believe in, with certainty and conviction, in one’s heart and soul. They are not tainted with any doubt or uncertainty.

The main 6 principles of aqeedah in Islam are:

1. Belief in God and tawhid (monotheism)
2. Belief in the angels
3. Belief in the holy book sent by Allah (SWT)
4. Belief in the prophets and messengers
5. Belief in the Last Judgment and Resurrection
6. Belief in predestination

“Fiqh” (in Arabic: فقه) or “Islamic Jurisprudence” is an Islamic terminology that refers to the understanding of Islamic law and rules as revealed in the Quran and the Sunnah.

Fiqh can also be defined as a process by means by which jurists derive sets of guidelines, rules, and regulations (the Shari’ah) from the principles of the Qur’an and the Sunnah. Over the centuries, these have been formulated and elaborated upon by successive generations of learned jurists, through interpretation, analogy, consensus, and disciplined research.

The study of the Fiqh is often divided into 2 main disciplines:

1. Usul al-fiqh (in Arabic: أصول الفقه)
2. Furuʿ al-fiqh (فروع الفقه)

Tafsir/Tafseer of Quran is the Arabic word for the exegesis of the Quran verses. A Quranic tafsir attempts to provide elucidation, explanation, interpretation, context, or commentary for a clear understanding and conviction of Allah (SWT).

Tafseer Quran helps Muslims understand the Holy Quran even better; without learning Quran Tafseer, mankind will have no correct understanding of different passages of the Quran.

Dua’a/Dua in Islam refers to supplication to Allah (SWT).

Dua is a conversation with Allah Almighty. This act in itself is of extraordinary significance. It is the most uplifting, liberating, empowering, and transforming conversation a person can ever have. We turn to Allah (SWT) with Dua because we know that Allah Almighty alone can lift our sufferings and solve our problems.

Learning Dua is essential to keep in touch with Allah (SWT) anywhere and anytime. It’s a source of rapprochement to Allah the Almighty.

In Islam, Al-sīra al-Nabawiyya (Prophetic biography), Sīrat Rasūl Allāh, or Seerah are the traditional Muslim biographies of the prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

Studying the Seerah of the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) involves so many benefits, such as:

• Incidents and situations from the Prophet’s life are real-life lessons to help us. Seerah is more than studying the biography of a person, it is a biography of our most beloved’s life and the history of our religion.
• Learning about the prophet’s life develops a true love of Rasul Allah (PBUH) in our hearts
• The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was the perfect example of the best Muslim character. We must first study his life to follow his beautiful example.
• Some Quranic verses deal with events that happened during the lifetime of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)], revealed either before, during, or after a particular occasion. The Seerah gives an explanation, so understanding and knowing about Seerah will help us to understand these verses.
