Human beings are forever in need of guidance for all their actions. It is beyond their ability to frame laws for themselves and obey them. Due
to the inherent differences and shortcomings of the human mind, human
beings cannot frame any law which is flawless in all respects. Inevitably, they have to turn to the Lord Almighty for guidance. For this reason, Allah Ta'ala has guided us through His revelation (Wahi).
The to-be-recited revelation (Wahi Matlu’) and the not-to-be-recited revelation (Wahi Ghair Matlu’) i.e. the Hoy Quran and the Hadith are the only 2 sources of Islamic Law. Allah Ta'ala has declared the fulfillment of this religion in Surah Maida:
Today
I have perfected your Din (Religion) for you, and have completed My
Blessing upon you, and have chosen for you Islam (as) Din (a complete
code of life). Surah Maida (5:3)
Allah Ta’ala has also said:
Truly,
Islam is the only Din (Religion) in Allah’s sight. And the people of
the Book disagreed, after knowledge had come to them, only on account of
their mutual jealousy and contention. And he who denies Allah’s
revelations, then surely Allah hastens in calling to account. Surah Al Imran (3:19)
And
whoever seeks a Din (Religion) other than Islam that shall not at all
be accepted from him, and he will be among the losers in the Hereafter. Surah Al Imran (3:85)
Now
there will be no revelation, but this is clear that the verses of the
Holy Quran and the words of the Hadith are limited, where as the
problems of the humankind, which are refashioned by the passing of time,
are unlimited. For this reason,
the extraction of rules of the contemporary issues by contemplating
over the sources of Islamic law is highly necessary. In the Science of Jurisprudence (Fiqh), these very issues of human life are dealt with.
The verses of the Holy Quran and the Hadith that deal with these issues are 500 and 3000 respectively. Obviously, rules have to be formulated by contemplating over these verses and Hadith. At some places the rules have been mentioned concisely. At some places they are hidden. At some places they have been mentioned in abbreviated form and at some places they are ambiguous.
To
contemplate over them, understand the intent of the Holy Prophet
(Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) and formulate rules, which include
personal, economic, political, domestic rules for the guidance of the
community and the Ummah, is beyond the ability of even an accomplished
scholar, let alone a common man.
Mere
mastery of language does not qualify one to understand the finer points
of the law and neither can every litterateur/philologist be a
legislator as well. When this is
not possible in the laws made by men, but is considered a joke that
only mastery over a language qualifies one to be a legislator, then
comprehension of divine laws demands much more from us. For
this reason, those revered personalities who spent their entire lives
in the deduction and extraction of laws, who remained the leaders of the
community because of their knowledge and piety, their deductions are more authoritative than ours.
