Aqidah
Understanding Islāmic theology is imperative. Every Muslim must believe in Allāh, His Prophets, His Books, His Angels, and the Last Day. Having a solid understanding of the tenets of faith that Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jamāʿah upholds is necessary. Furthermore, defending our faith against the ingressions of atheists, nonbelieving antagonists, and heretics is crucial in these days and times.
Biographies
Improving one’s character, finding inspiration, and knowing our way forward in life are often found while perusing pages containing accounts of the lives and histories of the great men and women who came before us. In our tradition, there are countless personalities who lived and died for Islām. Let us study and benefit from who they were, what they did, and the legacy that they left for us. From the Prophet’s time until now, these are our pious predecessors and their works.

Intellectually engaging contemporary complexities must be in accordance with the Revelation, humanity’s lighthouse beacon. Those versed in its teachings provide judicious intellectual leadership by taking the ship of salvation’s helm and keeping it on course.
Fiqh
Fiqh is the union of reason and revelation; it is the Qurʾān and the Prophet’s guidance as understood through the jurists’ diligent efforts that spanned Islām’s entire history. Fiqh helps Muslims better understand and grasp their religion, so that they live their lives according to Islām’s principles. Thus, through Allāh’s mercy, they will find their needs preserved in this life and then salvation in the Hereafter.
Hadith

Indeed, they wholeheartedly embraced the Prophet’s teachings and applied them in all aspects of their lives.
