The ability to understand an issue is more valuable than just possessing a lot of information. Unfortunately, there has been a disconnect across society where people have equated information with knowledge and understanding. This is a problem that has transcended race, culture, and religion that has brought us to a very dangerous crossroad. While it is praiseworthy to seek knowledge, the ultimate goal of this seeking is to have proper application and understanding of what you have learned. Imam Malik, may Allah be pleased with him has been reported to have said that, "[K]nowledge is not an abundance of narrations but it is a light that Allah places in the heart." This is a very important statement by the Imam and one that we hope you all remember, In sha Allah.Our purpose for providing you with this Text is to prepare you for the study of Fiqh. We have noticed that a good deal of our students are not really clear on the need for Fiqh or its purpose. I mean we have the Qur'an and the Sunna, right? While the importance and authority of the Sacred Texts is not open to dispute, the idea that anyone can just extract rulings and pass judgement with them based on casual reading is false. This is especially true if you have not been properly trained in how to actually engage with these Divine Sources of Law. We will be sharing with you a brief overview of the "what, how, and why" of this branch of knowledge. Take care to make sure that you understand the information in this Text. While we will not be exhaustive with our treatment of this subject in this book, the information that we will share will prove to be a useful guide to your studies, In sha Allah.
