âlamin. Wa sallallahu âla sayyidina Muhammad wa âla alihi wasahbihit-tayyibinat-tahirin. Asalullah an yajâla niyyatina khalisatanliwajhihi. Âmma ba^du.

Bismillah, Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds, to Him belong theendowments and the befitting perfections and commendations. I askAllah to raise the rank of Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu âlayhi wasallam, and to protect his nation from that which he fears for it. I askAllah to grant us the sincere intentions. thereafter:

Imam Abu Hanifah, radiallu ânhu, said I^lam annal-fiqha fid-din afdaluminal-fiqha fil-ahkam, which means Know that knowing the essentialsof belief has more priority that knowing the details of the rules of the

practice of the religion. This is indicated also in the book of Allah taâlaand in the sayings of the Prophet, sallallhu âlayhi wa sallam.

Allah said in Al-Quran Fa^lam annahu la ilaha illallah, was-taghfirlidhanbik, which means Know firmly (that is, adhere to the belief)that no one is god except Allah, and ask for forgiveness for thebelievers. The verse signifies that the knowledge concerning thebelief has more importance over the rules of the details of thereligion.

This is why the Prophet, sallallahu âlayhi wa sallam, taught thesahabahs the matters of the âqidah before teaching them the rules offiqh. As Al-Bukhariyy narrated from Âbdullah ibnu Ûmar that he saidTaâllamnal-imana qablal-Quran, which means We learned thematters of the belief before learning Al-Quran.

Likewise another sahabah Jundub ibnu Âbdullah said Kunna maân-Nabiyy, wa nahnu fityanun hazawiyah fataâllamnal-imana wa lamnataâllamul-Quran, thumma taâllamnal-Qurana fazdadna bihi imana,which means When we were young, we learned the matters of belief

before learning Al-Quran, and then we learned Al-Quran and thatincreased the level of our belief. Narrated by Ibnu Majah. Hence fromthat we know that the methodology of the Prophet is to learn the mattersof âqidah before learning the details of the rules of the religion.
