امام شرانی کے نزدیک ائمہ فقہ کے باہمی اختلافات کی شرعی حیثیت

Abstract

Islam has introduced the concept of Ijtehad for the evolution of Muslim society and Islamic law, which is a source of blessings for Muslim Ummah for their educational, spiritual, and religious uniformity. In Islamic history, it is only Ijtehad, which as a principle of movement, helped in solving different sorts of social, political, and religious issues. Islamic jurists through Ijtehad searched out the solutions of matters and problems, which were produced by new civilizational and cultural reasons.

In the present epoch, the vast stock of Islamic Jurisprudence is in reality due to the diligence and struggle of Islamic jurists. This is one of the prominent features of Islamic law—that its fundamental values will guide the changing factors of civilization and society as its obligation. The journey of life under these rules and regulations of Islamic law will protect from each sort of hardship.

Imam Sharani described the belief that differences in ramification are not like differences in fundamental principles. Because the first one is permissible, while the second is unlawful. Differences of intellectual and educational efforts are a real source of blessings. Disagreement is another thing for which there is no place in Qur’an and Hadith. Because dissimilarities always consisted of logics and disagreement is a symbol of prejudice. Imam Sharani considers Islamic jurists and their disciples as real mentors for Muslim Ummah. He describes that the differences between Islamic jurists is a phenomena of benevolence in the favor of Muslim Ummah.
