Rulings on Islamic Acts of Worship

About this book

Why can acts of worship become routine when they were intended to bring clarity, peace, and moral renewal? Dr. Mohamed Fahim El-Gendy presents a grounded study of Islamic jurisprudence that moves beyond listing what is permitted or prohibited to explain the meaning and purposes of worship. The book addresses purification, prayer, zakat, fasting, and pilgrimage through the Qur'an and Sunnah, the heritage of the four major schools of law, and an awareness of how changing circumstances affect legal judgment. Written for contemporary readers, it seeks to unite correct practice with sincerity and to show how daily worship can strengthen both the individual and society.
