Islamic Studies: Book 4 by Dr. Bilal Philips is the fourth volume in a comprehensive curriculum designed to provide structured Islamic education to English-speaking students. This level builds upon earlier volumes and introduces more advanced topics in aqidah, fiqh, Qur’anic studies, hadith sciences, and Islamic history. It is tailored for high school and college-level learners, offering both depth and clarity across essential subjects.

The book includes chapters on the names and attributes of Allah, the concept of divine decree (qadar), the fiqh of purification and prayer, the compilation of the Qur’an, the preservation of hadith, and the biography of the Prophet ﷺ. It also explores Islamic manners, social responsibilities, and the role of Muslims in society. Each chapter is structured with clear objectives, review questions, and practical applications, making it ideal for classroom use or self-study.
