Shar'iah

On True Shariah.

Shariah is the one perfect Structured System, the legal-system of Shariah was for Muslims only. Concerning everyone else it resembles not a Republic or a Democracy, rather for Sabeans, Eastern Christians and Jews it resembles a Democratic Republic. Free trade without capitalism is also ensured.  Money without the debt is also ensured. For other religions we would have Eastern Christians, Jews and Sabeans speak on their behalf. There are four diverse Shariah schools to build a system, all four must be used. Freedom of religion, Multiculturalism and human rights are Shariah-based concepts. Secularism claims to be for Multiculturalism, but this is Not True. Secularism demands assimilation, Under the Umbrella of Islam there is no Fear of Assimilation. As Muslims we are the Protectors of the Religions. The Difference between Religions and Cults shall be Explained further on a different Post.

ON FIQH

Fiqh (Arabic: فقه‎ [fiqh ]) is Islamic jurisprudence. Fiqh is an expansion of the Sharia Islamic law—based directly on the Quran and Sunnah—that complements Shariah with evolving rulings/interpretations of Islamic jurists.

Fiqh deals with the observance of rituals, morals and social legislation in Islam. There are four prominent schools of fiqh, the Madh'hab, within Sufi-Sunni practice and two schools within Shi'a practice. A person trained in fiqh is known as a Faqih (plural Fuqaha).

The word fiqh is an Arabic term meaning "deep understanding" or "full comprehension". Technically it refers to the science of Islamic law extracted from detailed Islamic sources (which are studied in the principles of Islamic jurisprudence) the process of gaining knowledge of Islam through jurisprudence, and the body of legal advisements so derived is known as fiqh.

The historian Ibn Khaldun describes fiqh as "knowledge of the rules of God which concern the actions of persons who own themselves bound to obey the law respecting what is required (wajib), forbidden (haraam), recommended (mandūb), disapproved (makrūh) or merely permitted (mubah)".

This definition is consistent amongst the jurists.

SHAFI'I FIQH

The Shāfi‘ī (Arabic: شافعي‎) madhhab is one of the four schools of fiqh, or religious law, within the Sufi-Sunni branch of Islam. The Shāfi‘ī school of fiqh is named after Imām ash-Shāfi‘ī. The other three schools of Islamic law are Hanafi, Maliki and Hanbali.

The Shāfi‘ī school of thought stipulates authority to four sources of jurisprudence, also known as the Usul al-fiqh. In hierarchical order, the usul al-fiqh consist of the Quran, the Sunnah of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, ijmā' ("consensus"), and qiyas ("analogy").

The Shāfi‘ī school also refers to the opinions of Muhammad's companions (primarily Al-Khulafa ar-Rashidun). The school, based on Shāfi‘ī's books ar-Risala fi Usul al-Fiqh and Kitab al-Umm, which emphasizes istinbaat, (derivation of laws), through the rigorous application of legal principles; as opposed to speculation or conjecture.

Imam Shāfi‘ī approached the imperatives of the Islamic Shariah (Canon Law) distinctly in his own systematic methodology; it also teaches protection for all religions and the methodology behind this is hard to understand in western though. Imam Shāfi‘ī, Imam Malik and Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal almost entirely exclude the exercise of private judgment in the exposition of legal principles. They are wholly governed by the force of precedents, adhering to the Scripture and Traditions; they also do not admit the validity of a recourse to analogical deduction of such an interpretation of the Law whereby its spirit is adopted to the circumstances of any special case.

Shāfi‘ī is also known as the "First Among Equals" for his exhaustive knowledge and systematic methodology to religious science and mysticism and the differences between natural magic called Ya and the misuse of magic called Sahara. Today this madh'hab is the least preserved because of the Saudi dynasties.

Muhammad ibn Idris ash-Shafi`i

Grand Saint of Salafi & Ṭarīqah

Shāfi‘ī's [150 – 206 AH] full name is Abū ‘Abdu l-Lāh Muhammad ibn Idrīs ibn al-Abbās ibn ‘Uthmān ibn Shāfi‘ ibn as-Sa'ib ibn ‘Ubayd ibn ‘Abd al-Yazīd ibn al-Muttalib ibn ‘Abd Manaf. ‘Abd Manaf was the great grandfather of Muhammad. Based on this lineage, he is from the Quraish tribe. He was born in 150 AH (760 CE) in Gaza in the same year Imam Abū Hanifa died. Al-Nawawī, a prominent Shāfiʻī scholar, cited Sufyan ibn `Uyaynah, one of al-Shafi`i's teachers, as being from "the grandfathers of the Shāfiʻī scholars in their methodology of jurisprudence".

As a member of the school of Medina, ash-Shāfi‘ī worked to combine the pragmatism of the Medina school with the contemporary pressures of the Traditionalists. The Traditionalists maintained that jurists could not independently adduce a practice as the Sunnah of Muhammad based on ijtihad "independent reasoning" but should only produce verdicts substantiated by authentic hadith.

Based on this claim, ash-Shāfi‘ī devised a method for systematic reasoning without relying on personal deduction. He argued that the only authoritative Sunnah were those that were both of Muhammad and passed down from Muhammad himself. He also argued that Sunnah contradicting the Quran was unacceptable, claiming that Sunnah should only be used to explain the Quran. Furthermore, ash-Shāfi‘ī claimed that if a practice is widely accepted throughout the Muslim community, it cannot be in contradiction of Sunnah.

Ash-Shāfi‘ī was also a significant poet. His poetry is noted for its beauty, wisdom, despite the fact that during his life time he stood off becoming a poet because of his rank as an Islamic scholar. He said once: و لولا الشعر بالعلماء يزريلكنت اليوم أشعر من لبيد for scholars, if poetry did not degrade, I would have been a finer poet than Labīd. However, the beauty of his poetry made people collect it in one famous book under the name Diwān Imām al-Shāfi‘ī. Many verses are popularly known and repeated in the Arab world as proverbs: نعيب زماننا و العيب فيناو ما لزماننا عيب سواناو نهجو ذا الزمان بغير ذنبو لو نطق الزمان لنا هجاناWe blame our time though we are to blame. No fault has time but only us. We scold the time for all the shame. Had it a tongue, it would scold us. The Shāfi‘ī school was once followed throughout the Ummah, but the Turkish Government put this to and end by ending the Arabic Language for all to speak.

The four schools (or Madh'hab) of Sufi-Sunni Muslims are each named by students of the classical jurist who taught them. The Sufi-Sunni schools (and where they are commonly found) are Hanafi (The Levant, Turkey, the Balkans, Central Asia, Indian subcontinent, Iran, Afghanistan, China and Egypt) Maliki (North Africa, the Muslim areas of West Africa, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain) Shafi'i (Yemen, Somalia, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Southern Iran, Muslim Southeast Asia, Egypt, Swahili Coast, Maldives and southern parts of India) Hanbali (Saudi Arabia and Qatar).

HANBALI FIQH

The Hanbali (Arabic: حنبلى‎) school (madhhab) is one the four schools of Fiqh or religious law within Sufi-Sunni Islam (the other three being Hanafi, Maliki and Shafi`i). The jurisprudence school traces back to Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (d. 855), but it was institutionalized by his students. Besides the Qur'an and the Sunna Ibn Hanbal also granted an important status to the consent of the Muslim community, the Umma. Hanbali jurisprudence is considered very strict and conservative, especially regarding questions of dogma and cult. It is prevalent in Saudi Arabia and the Arabian peninsula, although students of Islam throughout the world study and may choose to observe its conclusions about Islamic practice. It is also the main madh'hab of the important Islamic pilgrimage sites of Mecca and Medina.

From the start, Hanbal asserted that God's Oneness was not understood by the Jahmites and the Mu`tazilites. Hanbal stated that the ahl al-sunnah wa-al-jama`ah, or SUFI-LACKING Sunnis, believe that God is eternal with His power and light and that He speaks, knows, and creates eternally. Hanbal disagreed with the Jahmites' and the Mu`tazilites' view that no other Eternals exist except God because the eternal is God and God is One. Hanbal believed that Hell and Paradise are eternal because God made them eternal.

Hanbal believed that the people or the inhabitants of Paradise are able to see God and that God will make them see Him as their highest reward. He did not allow a beatific vision in this world - only in the Hereafter will this vision be bestowed upon the beloved of God. The Mu`tazilites and the Jahmites totally reject the beatific vision of God even in Paradise.

God's word

Hanbal believed that God's word is eternal, that God Himself spoke to Moses the prophet and Moses heard His words, and that God did not create His words when He communicated with Moses. Since the speech of God is an Attribute, and God is eternal, all of God's Attributes are eternal. The Jahmites and the Mu`tazilites believe that God created His words to make Moses able to understand His words.

The Qur'an

Hanbal believed that the Qur'an is a Kabbalah because the Qur'an is the word of God, and the word of God is not created furthermore God is Reality, and thus the Qur'an is God's word or speech and His revelation. The Mu`taziltes and the Jahmites believe that the Qur'an, which is readable and touchable, is created like other created creatures and beings. Ibn Hanbal maintained that the Qur'an is indeed a thing but that it is not created like other created things. Hanbal refused to include the Qur'an in the category of the created creatures of God like the earth and the heavens. There are other existing things not mentioned by God that they are created by God. Among those things are the Chair, the Throne and the Guarded Tablet (Lawh-i-Mahfuz). They are not among the created creatures like the earth and the heavens. Hence Hanbal asserted that the Qur'an is uncreated.

The Hanbail Fiqh is the hardest madhhab to infect and infiltrate, yet, the Saudi Dynasties have promised to sell it to the Roman Catholic Church. In recent years, the Sufi-Sunni Muslims of Qadiryyah were banned from stepping foot in this madhhab. This is because the Hanbail is slowly being taken over by a small cult group of Barelvi and Shia who have vowed to change this Fiqh into a madhhab who embraces Dynasties and Materialism. The Irani Shia refugees are introducing a Shia Imam code, and the Barelvi have introduced images and folk dancing while banning Sufi Whirling, a practice that Muhammad himself did. The Sufi-Sunni Muslims of Qadiriyyah forbid the using of the words ya-Muhammad before prayer this Rule was amended in 2005 by a Barelvi Teacher of Indian Politics and Capital Trade. The United States is very pleased with this most unfortunate set of circumstances because it allows for Islam to embrace western thought.

MALIKI FIQH

Mālik, Imam of the abode of Hijrah Mālik was once sentenced to a lashing by the governor of Medina, the cousin of Caliph Abū Ja‘far al-Manṣūr for narrating a hadith to the effect that a divorce obtained under coercion was invalid. The hadith in question had momentous political implications, because it supported those who argued that the caliph's authority was similarly invalid - because it, too, had been secured by means of coercion. Eventually, Mālik was paraded through the streets in disgrace and ordered to insult himself publicly. He is reported to have said: Whoever knows me, knows me; whoever does not know me, my name is Mālik ibn Anas, and I say: The divorce of the coerced is null and void!

When the incident was reported to al-Manṣūr, Mālik was ordered released, and his cousin was punished. When the incident was reported to al-Manṣūr, Mālik was ordered released, and his cousin was punished. The Mālikī (Arabic مالكي) madhhab is one of the four schools of Fiqh or religious law within Sufi-Sunnī Islam. It is the second-largest of the four schools, followed by approximately 25% of Muslims, mostly in North Africa, West Africa, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and in some parts of Saudi Arabia. In the past, it was also followed in parts of Europe under Islamic rule, particularly Islamic Spain and the Emirate of Sicily.

Madhhabs are schools of jurisprudence. The other three schools of thought are Shāfi‘ī, Ḥanafī, and Ḥanbalī. The Mālikī school derives from the work of Mālik ibn Anas, primarily the Muwaṭṭah and the Mudawwanah. The Muwaṭṭah is a collection of hadiths which are regarded as sound and find their place in al-Bukhārī with some commentary from Mālik regarding the ‘amal "practices" of the people of Medina and where the ‘amal is in compliance with or in variance with the hadiths reported. This is because Mālik (and what would later be the school after his name) regarded the ‘amal of Medina (the first three generations) to be a superior proof of the "living" Sunnah than isolated, although sound, hadiths. The second main source, al-Mudawwanah al-Kubrā, is the collaborator work of Mālik's longtime student, Ibn Qāsim and his mujtahid student, Saḥnūn.

The Mudawwanah consists of the notes of Ibn Qāsim from his sessions of learning with Mālik and answers to legal questions raised by Saḥnūn in which Ibn Qāsim quotes from Mālik, and where no notes existed, his own legal reasoning based upon the principles he learned from Mālik. These two books, i.e. the Muwaṭṭah and Mudawwanah, along with other primary books taken from other prominent students of Mālik, would find their way into the Mukhtaṣar Khalīl, which would form the basis for the later Mālikī madhhab.

It differs from the three other schools of law most notably in the sources it uses for derivation of rulings. All four schools use the Qur'an as the primary source, followed by the Sunnah of Muhammad, transmitted as hadiths. In the Mālikī madhhab, sunnah includes not only what was recorded in hadiths, but the legal rulings of the four rightly guided caliphs (Rāshidūn), primarily ‘Umar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb, ijmā‘ (consensus of the scholars), qiyās (analogy) and ‘urf (local custom that is not in direct conflict with established Islamic principles). The Mālikī school, in addition, relies heavily upon the practice of the salaf people of Medina as a source (composed of the Ṣaḥābah, tābi‘īn, and the older successors, i.e. the best of generations as reported in the authentic hadith). This is because their collective practice, along with the derivative rulings from the salaf scholars, are considered mutawātir, or known and practiced by so many people that it can only be of the Sunnah. In other words, the practice of the first three generations of Muslims who resided in Medina, i.e. the salaf or righteous predecessors form the normative practice of the "living sunnah" that was preserved from Muhammad.

When forced to rely upon conflicting authenticated hadiths to derive a ruling, Mālikīs would then choose the hadith that has a Medinan origin, meaning the transmitter(s) resided in Medina. To summarize, in the Mālikī madhhab the "living sunnah" of the salaf of Medina substantiates the single reported hadith, not the other way around. This is probably what distinguishes the Mālikī madhab the most from the Shāfi‘ī, Ḥanbalī, and Ḥanafī madhāhib respectively. This source, according to Mālik, sometimes supersedes hadith, because the practice of the people of Medina was considered "living sunnah," in as much as Muhammad migrated there, lived there and died there, and most of his companions lived there during his life and after his death. The result is what would appear to be a much more limited reliance upon ṣaḥīḥ hadiths than is found in other schools, but in actuality, serves to strengthen hadiths related to actual practice. Mālik was particularly scrupulous about authenticating his sources when he did appeal to them, however, and his comparatively small collection of aḥādith, known as al-Muwaṭṭah "The Approved", is highly regarded. Mālik is said to have explained the title as follows: "I showed my book to seventy jurists of Medina, and every single one of them approved me for it, so I named it "The Approved".

HANAFI FIQH

The Hanafi (Arabic الحنفي) school is one of the four Madhhab (schools of law) in jurisprudence (Fiqh) within Sufi-Sunni Islam, the other three schools of thought being Shafi'i, Maliki, and Hanbali. The Hanafi madhhab is named after the Iraqi scholar Abu Hanifa an-Nu‘man ibn Thābit (Arabic: أبو حنيفة النعمان بن ثابت‎) (699 - 767CE /89 - 157AH), a Tabi‘i whose legal views were preserved primarily by his two most important disciples, Abu Yusuf and Muhammad al-Shaybani. This is the most prominent among all Sunni Schools, and it has the most adherents in the Muslim world.

Among the four established Sufi-Sunni schools of legal thought in Islam, the Hanafi school is the oldest. It has a reputation for putting greater emphasis on the role of reason and being more liberal than the other three schools The Hanafi school also has the most followers among the four major Sufi-Sunni schools. And SUFI-LACKING 'Sunni Muslims' can be mostly divided into two categories the Older one Al-Hadith Sunnis is a smaller group it is also the fist Group to reject the long standing Traditions of The Taṣawwuf of Abraham. The Newer one is Al-Fatwa Sunnis to this day this makes up the Majority of SUFI-LACKING 'Sunni Muslims' the innovations of Al-Fatwa Sunnis are numerous so much that it's hard to omit them, and these deviations should never be omitted yet sadly are omitted anyway, Al-Fatwa Sunnis 'Originally emerged in Spain from Abdl Rahman III' (A GOOD MAN BUT A HORRIBLE MUSLIM) the innovations of Al-Fatwa Sunnis are numerous so much that this is what eventually lead to the 'Wahhabi Muslim' a reaction to Haram, but Wahhabi Islam has several of its own innovations of Haram. So Al-Fatwa Sunnis to this day this day what makes up the Majority of 'Sunni Muslims' and Al-Hadith Sunnis to this day is what makes up the minority SUFI-LACKING 'Sunni Muslims' these losses are among the most devastating in schisms. Today, the Hanafi school is predominant among the Sunnis of Central Asia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, China, Iraq, Mauritius, Turkey, Albania, Bosnia, Kosovo, Macedonia, the Balkans and the Caucasus. It is also followed in large numbers in other parts of Muslim world today since most Muslims are Al-Fatwa Sunnis.

The Hanafi Fiqh is a Great institute, yet it sadly is used to justify sever thing forbidden to Islam. The sources from which the law is derived, in order of importance and preference, are: the Qur'an, the authentic narrations of the Prophet (Hadith), Consensus (ijma), and analogical reasoning (qiyas), qiyas only being applied if direct material cannot be found in the Qur'an or Hadith. As the fourth Caliph, 'Ali, had transferred the Islamic capital to Kufa, and many of the companions of the Prophet had settled there, the Hanafi School had based many of its rulings on Prophetic narrations (Hadith) transmitted by companions residing in Iraq; thus it came to be known as the Kufan or Iraqi school in earlier times. Hence 'Ali ibn Abi Talib and 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud formed much of the base of the school, as well as other personalities from the household of the Prophet with whom Abu Hanifa had studied such as Muhammad al-Baqir, Ja'far al-Sadiq, and Zayd ibn 'Ali. Many jurists and Hadith transmitters had lived in Kufa including one of Abu Hanifa's main teachers, Hammad ibn Sulayman. According to Abdalhaqq Bewley: "Hanafi methodology involved the logical process of examining the Book and all available knowledge of the Sunna and then finding an example in them analogous to the particular case under review so that Allah's deen could be properly applied in the new situation. It thus entails the use of reason in the examination of the Book and Sunna so as to extrapolate the judgments necessary for the implementation of Islam in a new environment. It represents in essence, therefore, within the strict compass of rigorous legal and inductive precepts, the adaptation of the living and powerful deen to a new situation in order to enable it take root and flourish in fresh soil. This made it an ideal legal tool for central governances of widely varied populations, which is why we find it in Turkey as the legacy of the Uthmaniyya Khilafa, and in the subcontinent where it is inherited from the Moghul empire".
