It is a religious duty for every Muslim to have faith in and abide by the teachings
of the final Prophet, honoring him both as a Prophet and as the guiding authority
of Islamic principles. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is held in the
highest regard, and his teachings shall be upheld until the Day of Judgment.
No one can challenge the noble characteristics and attributes of the Prophet, and
any form of disrespect towards him is considered blasphemous. Being the
Prophet of Islam, he is an integral part of the foundations of Islamic law.
Muslim nations have also enshrined his position as the Prophet, guide, and
leader in their constitutions, laws, and regulations. Violating this respect is a

The ideas of Dr. Hameed Ullah (1908-2002) related to Islamic jurisprudence and Islamic law

2024-04-22T04:56:28+00:00

Dr. Hameed Ullah has a great name in Hadith, Jurisprudence and Law and is the
author of many books. According to him, the most important principle of
Islamic jurisprudence and Islamic law is ijtihad, because only on the basis of
ijtihad, the challenges of the present age and the times to come can be faced.
According to him, the door of ijtihad has never been closed nor can it be in the
future, rather, they consider ijtihad as the principle of life for Islamic law. They
present examples of ijtihad from the companions. However, he does not give the
right of ijtihad to everyone, rather he says that the right of ijtihad belongs to
experts and jurists in Islamic jurisprudence. If there is a difference between
them, there is no problem, in case of disagreement, priority will be given to the
opinion of the majority. But in another place, it is understood from his own
words that he gives the right of ijtihad to everyone. He was convinced of tajazzu
ul ijtihad. This means that a person who is an expert in that field will have the
right to Ijtihad. Even a mujtahid can do ijtihad in only one issue. He who knows
the department to which he is affiliated can do ijtihad in that department. He was
also convinced of the ijtihad of parliament. According to him, ijtihad can be
done individually or collectively, if this ijtihad is accepted, then it is correct,
otherwise the majority opinion of the parliament will be implemented. He
consider the Qur'an as the first source of Islamic law. While in other sources,
Hadith and Sunnah, Ijtihad, Ijmaa aka the first shariats also consider Isthisan and
Istislah as sources.

Events in Tafsir Ma'arif ul-Quran, contemporary lessons and advice about Qibla custody, a research review

2024-04-22T05:01:44+00:00

In his book "Tafseer Maarif ul-Qur'an," Maulana Muhammad Idrees Kandhalvi
describes how the Qibla, or the direction of prayer, underwent a considerable
alteration in the second year after the migration to Madinah. Muslims first
offered their prayers toward Bayt al-Maqdis in Jerusalem for more than 13 years
in Makkah and for around 17 months in Madinah. The Kaaba was chosen as the
last Qibla. Maulana Kandhalvi also describes its fundamental spiritual
importance as the center of the earth. This alteration is related to the Night of
Mairaaj, during which the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, ascended
into the heavens and received the title "Nabi al-Qiblatin." In obedience to a
divine command, Muslims momentarily worshiped towards Bayt al-Maqdis,
although the Kaaba continued to be the most important Qibla, signifying the
highest spiritual significance on Earth.

“The Legal (sharia) and Practical Perspective of Halala A Research Study in the context “Signs of Hidden Springs” a famous novel of the 21st Century

2024-04-22T05:17:34+00:00

Shaishta Fakhri's novel 'Nadidah Baharon Kay Nashan' delves into societal
norms affecting women, highlighting their unfair treatment due to men's selfish
actions. She shines a light on the way things are in society and how it leads to
the unfair treatment of women. She shows how women often find themselves in
difficult situations because of the selfish and cruel actions of men. In Islam, if a
woman has been divorced properly, she can't be forced to marry her ex-husband
again in the future. The idea of Halala (remarrying an ex-husband) means that a
woman is starting a new chapter in her married life, and this can only happen if
she agrees to it. So, it's not required for a woman to go back to her ex-husband
after a divorce. In this novel, it challenges this idea, and the woman in the story
decides to live her life independently, without relying on a man. She chooses not
to go through the process of marriage again.
The novel tells us that the Halala can deeply hurt a woman's self-esteem. That's
why she decides not to give the man another chance to hurt her
