himself declared that it was revealed to him by the angel “Gabrie!"in various
portions and at different times. Its texts are held by Muslims to be decisive as
being the words of God (Kalam allah) transmitted to man through the
Prophet. Besides inculcating religion and theology, the ‘Quran’ contains also
passages which are applicable to jurisprudence, which form the principal basis
of the ‘Sharia.”
The Quran is, Al-furgan, ie, one showing truth from falsehood and right
from wrong, It is in the form of a series of communications addressed by God to
the Prophet. The communications were revealed to the people on a number of
different occasions in the last twenty-three years of the Prophet's life, and
dealt with a great variety of problems, one after another, as they arose.
But whenever the Qurart was silent on any particular matter, guidance was
taken from the ‘Sunnat’, ie. whatever the Prophet had done. said or tacl
lowed; and also to Hadis, ie, to the Prophet's sayings or the narration of
hat was sad or done by him or was in silence upheld by him. All these are
considered by the Muslims to be the supplement to the Quran and are of the
rank, next to Quran,
3. Pre-telamie Arabia—Ayyam-e-jahiliya—This law had no existence
before Mohammad became a Prophet and there was no general law of the races
inhibiting the Arabian Peninsula. Each tribe was governed by its own laws, and
matters in dispute were either referred to the Chief, or decided by an appeal to
the sword. The conduct of the Arabs was regulated by customs. Most of the
customs of the Arab peapie were barbarous and inhuman. Often the parents
buried alive their female child. Uswy, ic, taking a very high interest on the
debis, was common. Gambling was rampant. It was days of superstition and
Detter than that of animals;
chattels of the
‘gamy
was universal, divorce was easy.and female infanticide was comunon. Such was
the condition of the Arabian society in which reforms were introduced by Islam
to bring about a complete transformation of the society. The Arabs themselves
were s0 much conscious of this change, that they began to refer to the period
e-jahiliya, i.e., the period of ignorance or
nableness of a
her wildness or savagery in contrast to the moral reas:

4, History of Islam—A. The Prophet and the advent of Islam.—Prophet
Mohammad was born at Mecca in 571 A.D. The Prophet was a posthumous
returning from Syria, where he had gone for

Abdui Muttalib. Two years later the
ss then brought up by
grandfather also died and
After the age of twenty-five
occupied in prayer and meditation. He became a Prophet at the fortieth year of
his age, when he received his first wahi or message from God. From that time
_ BACKGROUND 3
he devoted himself in replanting the only true and ancient religion, professed
by Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and all the Prophets of the past. In his
endeavours to this end, he met with the most bitter persecution from the
idolators whose faith he attacked. He was abused, spat upon, covered
dust and dragged from the temple of Mecca by the hair of his head: but st
assiduously preserved in his undertaking and ultimately succeeded
-ading his religion over a great portion of the 2
the people of Persia, in advancing his dominion to
‘Oxus and in founding a sect of people that afterwards became the conques
India and are at the present time one of the f not
powerful races of men on the earth,
ht from Mecca.—The
condemnation of the paganism,
rave Mecca and to take refuge
1 years of
1e years of success,
the fullest that has ever crowned one man's endeavaurs, had begun. The Hyjrat
makes a clear division in the story of Prophet's mission which is evident in the
Quran. Till then he had been a preacher only. Henceforth he was the ruler of a
Stato—at first a very small one, which later grew in ten years to be the empire
of Arabia, This absolute supremacy continued
What is Islam?—In the religious sense slam means ‘submission fo the will
of God and in secular sense Islam means the ‘establishment uf peace.” It occurs
eight times in Holy Queart in such verses as
"The (true) religion with Goe is Ish 17) "This day have 1

words of Mr. Justice Mahmood “Hindu and Mohammedan Law are so intimately

its sole source of Divine Will communicated, on its final form, through a single
human channel. The Mosaic Law comes nearest to it in this respect, but whereas
the Jew speaks of “the law and the prophets”; Muslims acknowledge no divine
inspiration subsequent to Mohammad, while helding all previous revelations,
however genuine and important in their days, to have been absolutely merged

‘These two have been classified into the following three classes on the basis
of the mode or manner in which it has actually originated :—
() Sumnat-ul fail ie., Traditions about which the Prophet did himsell.
(41) Suamnat e., Traditions about which he enjoined by words.
(iii) Suimnat-ul-tugrir ie, The things done in his presence without his
disapproval.
Above are enumerated the three kinds of Summat. The three classes of
Ahadis are given below. This classification unlike the above, has been made on
the basis of the authenticity of the traditions which in its turn is dependent in
the manner in which each particular tradition has been preserved
(@_ Athadis-i-mutwatir ie, Traditions that are of public and universal
propriety and are held as absolutely authentic. In such Hadis the
chain is complete.
(ii) Ahadis-i-Mashhoor, i.e., Traditions which though known to a
majority of people, do not possess the character of universal propriety,
isolated
it) Traditions which depend on
Compilation of Hadis,
Generally two misconceptions have been spread about the compilation of
Hadis. Firstly they were orally transmitted and were not recorded during the
period of the Prophet. Secondly, the sense uttered by the Prophet could change
during the oral transmission
‘The companions of the Prophet used to take the Sumal as binding
authority and were very arucious to learn it by heart for themselves and for the
purpose of further transmission. Some of them used to write it also. Abu Daud
and Darimi have narrated from ‘Abdullah bin Amr bin al AS
“Whatever I heard from the Prophet I used to write it to learn it by
heart. Some persons from the Qureish objected to this and said that the
Prophet was a man and sometimes he was talking in anger and sometimes
he was happy. At this I stop writing and also told this to the Prophet. He
ordered to continue writing and pointed with his finger towards his mouth
and said after swearing in the name of God that nothing but the truth comes,
‘out of that”
Many books of traditions were compiled by the companions of the Prophet
The remarkable ones are Sahifa Sadiqa, Shafia All, Aahifa Abu Bakr,
Sahifa Jabiz, Sahifa Samura and Sahifa Sahia ete. The traditions of these
books have been narrated by famous traditionists like Bukhari, Abu Daud,
Hakim, Zailai etc in their collection,. Perhaps this is sufficient to remove the
misconception that the work of compilation of Hadis started one hundzed years
after the death of the Prophet
Abu Hurairah, a reputed authority on Hadith said, “None is a better
keeper and narrator of Hadis than me except Abd Allah bin Ame bin al-As.
That is because he used to write whatever he heard from the Prophet
5. See, DER lanl: The Reconsteu
al thought is islam, p74

Anas bin Malik the devout servant who lived with the Prophet all
through his stay in Madina, and who died in 93 A.H. said, “Every now and
then I took down notes on interesting points from what the Prophet said in his,
discourses and other occasions of conversation; and I used to read these notes
‘over to the Prophet whenever I found him having leisure, and after he had
corrected them, I made a fair copy of them for my own record.
It is also incorrect to say that the traditions were transmitted orally
‘Ahmad bin Hanbal says about Abd Allah bin Mubarak that he used to transmit
traditions from the book.® There are persons who generally assume that
traditions were cecorded for the first time by compilers of the classic collections
like Bukhari, Muslim, ete. The reason for this assumption is the
misunderstanding of the term HADDATHANA (it was reported to us).
Sprenger was the first orientalist who understood that this word usually did
rot mean an oral transmission, and in those days it was the practice to refer to
authors instead of works?
Qualifications of Narrators.—A trustworthy narrator must have
understanding. The report of an infant or a kunatic cannot be actepted. He must
possess the power of retention which implies that he should have properly
heard the words of the speaker, is capable to tunderstand their meaning, should
be able to retain them in memory, and is capable to reproduce with accuracy at
the time of narration. Lastly he must be a Muslim of righteous conduct, which
signifies that he generally follows the injunctions of religion and reason.
3. The Ijma (consensus of opinion).—tjma has been defined by Sir Abdul
Rahim: as “agreement of the jurists among the followers of Prophet Mohammad.
in a particular age on a particular question of law”. Wilson defines it as
concurrence, meaning propositions shown to have been accepted as indisputable
under the first four “rightly directed”, Caliphs or in the time of the
companions and of the generation imunediately succeeding them.
Under this collective name are included the explanations, elucidations and
the decisions of the disciples of the Prophet. According to the classical theory,
failing Quran and traditions, the consensus of opinion amongst the companions
of the Prophet is recognised as the best guide of law. Thus it is the third source
of law, both in the point of time and importance.
However, there is great difference of opinion among the important Muslim
jurists with regard to the requirements of a valid ‘Ijma”. Nevertheless there is
general agreement that [jr of the companions of the Prophet should
invariably be accepted.
‘The authority of fima as a source of Muslim law is also founded on Quran
and Hadith. Quran says
“O ye who believe; obey God and obey the Prophet and those of you
who are in authority, and if ye have a dispute concerning any matter refer
it to God and the Prophet.” 4 :59.

Legal Authority of Qiyas as a Source of Islamic Law :
Oiyas in the Light of Holy Quran—Holy Quran, says, "Spend (ie
chanty) out of your good things because as you dislike to take bad things,
others also may dislike.”
In the Quran itis often said, “Ye men of wisdom take lesson’ : These verses
are enough to indicate how the validity of Qiyas is established by holy Quran
‘The Quran is all comprchensive and no one can claim to have full and
complete knowledge of it. The verses of the Quirax aze classified into two
etegories--MUHAKAMAT and MUTASHABEHAT—Muhakamat are clear
ia veaning whereas Mutashabehat are such verses which are capable of
various meaning, It is the duty of a jurist to ascertain the meanings of such

tlueidative, hence such verses provide room for Qiyas

Conditions for the validity of Qiyas
1. The original source from which deduced must be capable of being
extended, that is, it should not be of any special nature.
2, The law of the text must not be such that its raison de'tre cannot be
understood by human intelligence nor must it be in the nature of an exception to
some general rule.
1 or Hadith to which the process of
is applied should not have been abrogated or repealed,
'4. The fesult of Qiyas should not be inconsistent with any
Quran or any established Sunna,
5. Qiyas should be applied to ascertain a point of law and not to determine
the meanings of words used,
