ILM AL-HÂL

12 necessary for every Muslim male and female to learn the matters pertaining Îmân (faith) and ‘ibâdah (worship). One cannot be a perfect Mumin (believer) without learning and believing in these essentials, known as "Dharûrah Al- Dîniyyah” (Necessary Rules of Religion). This book of Ilm Al-Hâl is prepared based on the rules of the HANAFÎ MADHHAB, with the aim of helping every Muslim to easily learn and memorize the essential matters of Islâm. May Allâh تعالى be pleased with this humble work. Âmîn. Important Note Dear Reader, In this work are included some Sûrahs (chapters), Âyât (verses) and Duas (supplications) in Arabic along with their transliteration in the Latin alphabet. This is done reluctantly in order to enable those who are unfamiliar with the Arabic alphabet to begin to read and to memorize the texts immediately. Nevertheless, it is essentially impossible to write them accurately in the Latin alphabet for correct recitation. Once our readers learn their recitation on their own using transliteration, they are strongly advised to learn their correct pronunciation from a qualified teacher.
