Why is it necessary to
follow Taqleed of one
Madhab ?
Is it necessary to follow Madhab
… at times we are told just to
follow just Quran & Sunnah?
This is a strange kind of
confusion & misunderstanding ..”
to just follow Quran & sunnah ” I
will give u very simple answer so
that everybody can understand
and appreciate it.
why all of you
people come here tonight? to
listen some one why you want to
listen him? We want to learn .so
what you want to learn …we
want to learn Quran & Sunnah.
.off course basic sources are
quran & sunnah.. but everybody
cant understand everything
from quran & sunnah.
How many
people amongst you are in
position to read Arabic &
understand Quran without any
translation or help of Tafseer or
with out help of any Scholar?
how many of you are in position
to understand the holy
prophets ’s thousands of Hadiths
which are written in Arabic?
without help of any scholar?
How many people in the whole
Ummah can understand directly
the text of Quran & sunnah? do
they undersatnd ? No
so those who say you should
follow Quran and Sunnah & not
follow madab or any imam of
Fiqh. what will happen
practically?
lets put these 4 hypothesis in
practice
...Read the complete article from the comments
For example You say…he just
ReplyDeletewant to follow just Quran and
Sunnah not any Madhab …and u
will say thousands million of
Muslims cant understand
Arabic..we don ’t know Hadth
because we don’t know Arabic …
even by just knowing language
everybody just cant understand
the quran meaning and hadith
applications … so the person who
claim to just follow Quran &
Sunnah what will he suggest u
to them (those who don ’t Know
Arabic)? then you will say i want
to follow Quran and Sunnah but
unfortunately i cant understand
Quran and sunnah so how should
i learn he will say come to imam
of that particular mosque ..the
imam will tell you to learn
Arabic ..the imam sahib will say
come to me i will teach you
Quran and Sunnah..Same is the
case with following any of four
Imams of 4 Madhabs..so it means
when we go to imam abu
hanifa ….he doesn’t say listen to
me & don’t listen to Quran and
Sunnah imam abu Hanifa the
imam of Fiqh Hanafia has just
taught us the Quran &
Sunnah..similarly Imam Malik
Imam Shafi and Hanble have just
taught us the meaning to his
followers the legal interruption &
meaning of Quran & Sunah they
have compiled them together
with evidences and arguments
then they have put them is
systematic way with principles
elaborated them made them in
the form of articles and then
they have conveyed the same
meaning of Quran and Sunna
which we were unable to
understand directly …they have
have made us understandable
for us …
So that imam says come to me i
will each you quran and sunnah
it means imam wants that
accept me as your imam not
imam Abu Hanifa as Your imam
so if u are suppose to go to
imam of mosque to understand
Quran and Sunnah so whats the
difference between two?
you are going in the same way
to learn the Quran and Sunnah
commandments from this imam
and don ’t go to Imam e Azam
abu hanfia who is imam of All
Imams?
similarly don’t go to imam Shafi
Imam Malik & Hanble
so the madhab is nothing against
Quran and Sunnah its just
jurisprudential service rendered
through teaching of Quran and
Sunnah.
Similarly when you are ill where
ReplyDeletedo you go? why don ’t you use
the medical books go to book
shop and buy a book and read
it by yourself and trat
yourself..why u go to a doctor
then? you know English and
books are written in English just
read the books ..why medical
colleges are open why the
specialists are there to teach
you ? why there are five seven
ten years of courses are there
up to MD specialization in
Medicine etc? every body should
read the books of surgery and
start doing operations ..if i say
come on give me a Book of
Surgery i will operate you .will
you accept me?no you will not
accept me as surgeon so we
need a specialist in every
filed .these are specialists for
repairing car u will go to
mechanic not doctor …so imam
the imam of 4 madhab are
mechanic of Islamic jurisprudence
they are the engineers and
specialist you accept
specialization in every thing but
when comes the matter of Deen
Islamic jurisprudence why
shouldn ’t we go to specialist of
that filed? so specialist of these
particular subjects are called
Imams of Madahibs..
Quran it self says there must be
ReplyDeletea group of people who specialize
Holy Quran Sura at-Tawbah
Verse 122. states
And it is not possible for all the
Muslims to set out (together).
So, why should a party from
within every group (or tribe) not
go forth in order that they may
acquire deeper knowledge (i.e.
thorough understanding and
insight) of Din (Religion), and
warn their people when they
return to them so that they
may guard themselves (against a
life of sins and disobedience).
So Quran itself has rejected the
idea that very bod can not be
competent in Quran & Haith..
so Quran itself prescribes that
here should be group of
specialize people so that you
may learn from them.
Holy Quran Sura an-Nisā’
Verse 83 states
“. When there comes to them
any news of peace or fear, they
spread it around. Had they
referred it to the Messenger
(blessing and peace be upon him)
or those of them who are in
command (instead of making it
public), then those among them
who can draw conclusion from
some matter would have found it
(i.e. the truth of the news). Had
there not been Allah ’s Favour to
you and His Mercy, certainly you
would (all) have followed Satan
except only a few “
In Hadith Holy Prophet said
ReplyDeleteHadith Al-Bukhari Al-Sahih
Volume 1 P.39 # 71
“whenever almighty Allah intends
and decides to bless someone
with special favors and mercy he
makes him faqih in Deeen.. ”
so to become specilist in fiqh is
Allah ’s special mercy on Ummah
similarly in another Hadith
Hadith Al-Tirmidhi al-Jamia al-
Sahih Volume 5 p.90 # 2755
One Jurist is heavier on
shaitan as compared to one
thousands worshipers !
so that’s why after the
companions and there followers
Successors specialization came in
to existence some Aaima started
compiling Hadiths they started
working on transmission on
hadiths they become
transmitters
some became traditional in
verifying the soundness
truthfulness and reliability of the
narrates.. some people started
working on the meaning of Quran
and Hadiths which were
transmitted .Muhadith is not the
specialist in meaning he is
specialist of transmitting and
Faqih is a specialist of meanings
and implications so that ’s why
there were Ten Fuqaha of
shababa and thousands of them
were Muhadteen among the
companions of Prophets there
were Mujadieen Sahaba they are
known as maroof bil ilm wal
Ijtihad Mujtahid Sahaba were
only ten and reporter were
hundreds of them and every
reporter was not Mujtahid and
Faqih there were very few who
were specialist in the techinical
meaning of jurisprudence ..so
Holy Prophet & his companions
used to refer to those Sahabies
to understand the jurisprudence
nature of quran and hadith so in
this way when all these things
were collected and compiled so
those who became the compiler
of hadith transmission they
became Aamia Bukhari Muslim
Tirmidhi etc and those who
compiled the meaning of Juristic
implication of Quran and Hadith
they became Aaima of Fiqh so
they compiled the fiqh juristic
interpretation of Quran and
hadith so madhab itself is
nothing else since a common
person does not understand
what was repealed first and
what was revealed first and
later on repealed what was the
second commandment revealed
later so what was absolute
Muhadith doesn’t tell these
things what was revealed in
general sense what was other
commandment which specified
it..what was the commandment
of Quran and Hadith which was
just common and what was
commandments which created
exemptions in it. what was
absolute commandment which
qualified it so muhaditeen do not
know these things all these
things were specialization fo
Aamia of Fiqh so all those who
complied these sciences and then
compiled the juristic know;ege of
Quran and Sunnah they became
the founder of Madahib e
Fiqh..and this was a great
blessings of almighty ALLAH on
the ummah of holy prophet till
today and up till day of
judgment.that whenever we
want to know or when we go to
hadith u will never find a single
hadith chapter that how many
fard are there in wudo how
many wajibat of salat how many
Mustahabat of salat how many
maqrohat of salaat Hadiths are
never quoted in this way and
you need to know the
lways ..Hadith carried the
substance of message doesn’t
carry categorical in juristic way
this is like a constitution the
book of law..every thing is
written in articulation so these
were the Aaima who articulated
these things and complied and
articulated with all evidences and
make it practicing easy the
deen of Islam and Sunnah of holy
prophet easy for every Muslims.
The authentic Islamic Scholars all
ReplyDeletefollow one of these four schools
who can trace their academic
lineage from their teachers back
to the Companions of the
Blessed Holy Prophet Muhammad
(PBUH) or the students of the
Companions and therefore back
to Holy Prophet Muhammad
(PBUH). Those who refuse to do
so, the self styled ignorant
modern day Ghair Muqalideen are
not among those described as
Heirs of the Prophets.
so that’s why it become
compulsory for common person
to follow any of these four 4
Madhabs imams and following of
madhabs means following Quran
and Sunnah with specific
interpretation .
