Question: Describe the use of Quran in legal thinking as the fundamental source of Islam? [10]
Answer: The last Holy Book from Allah the Quran sends to His last messenger Holy Prophet (S.A.W) for the whole mankind.
The Holy Quran is the first primary source of law in Islamic Legal thinking and Islamic law. It is the fundamental source from which all principals, ordinances and injunctions of Islam are drawn. The Quran is a perfect book. It is the book of guidance as it offers a complete code of life covering all dimensions of human life i.e, economic , political , religious , social , legal and moral etc as the Quran says: " This is the book : in it is guidance sure without doubt those fear Allah " (2:2) . The Quran prescribed for us as a code of life by the Shariah of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) it is a Book lying down basic framework and outlines to all kinds of laws as the Quran says: " Surely , we have send down to you [O Muhammad (S.A.W)] the book [this Quran] in truth that you might judge between men by that which Allah has shown you (that is has taught you throw divine inspiration) , so we not pleader for the treacherous " (4:105) . The injunctions of the Quran are the basis of the Islamic Shariah. This law is perfect and comprehensive. It governs all the actions of the Muslims. It recognizes the failure of human nature and hence it does not lay undue burden on him, as Allah says “Allah does not charge a soul with more than it can bear” (2:286). Some of the important laws in Quran as the main source of law that tells us how the Quran guides us on deciding our matters are:
A)If a person dies and leaves behind wealth for his children, it must be divided up among his children according to laws and regulations which Allah has established for us in the holy Quran "Allah decree concerning your children as son will have a share equivalent to that of two daughters. If the female left behind are more than two, than for them is two-third of the inheritance. But if there is only one female then to her a half ...." (4:11)
B) For those who steal, the Quran says " As for the thief, man or woman, cut of the hand of either of them: it is the recompense for what they have earned .........” (5:38).

C)An Islamic economy is free of interest. Islam prohibits all transactions following interest. Interest is a means of exploitation and concentration of wealth. It is in the Holy Quran "Those who swallow usury will stand up only like the one who stands up, whom devil has deranged by touch. That is because they say “trading is also just like usury, Allah has permitted trading and forbidden usury" (2:275)
D) The teachings of the Holy Quran relating to religious teachings Allah says “And be steadfast in prayer, practice charity. “(2:243).
E)Relating ones purity is an obligatory duty in the eyes of Allah (SWT) none should commit it. The holy Holly Quran gives us the law regarding those who commit Adultery, as Quran says "the women or man guilty of adultery flog each of them with hundred stripes” (24:2)
F) Marriage is the basis of the Islamic family and a good and sound society can grow only if a man and women are bound in a pure relation to the sacred contract of marriage. The Quran guides us, the Holy Quran says, “Marry not a woman, who’s your father married except what has already passed. Surely this was an indecency and a hateful act and an evil way .......” (4:22-23)
G) Islam forbids abortion, as the holy Quran says " kill not your children in the dread of poverty, He provide for both, Killing them is a great blunder indeed" (17:31)
H) Some complications arise when one conducts a serious business with somebody and documentation is ignored. In the Quran, there are rules on this issue so that we might not fall into any doubts as the Quran says: “Oh, believers! When you contract a debt for a fixed period, then write it down between, let some scribe write down between you justly………..” (2:283)
So the Holy Quran is the final and complete message of Allah. It is complete because it covers all facets and provides guidance for all aspects of life. As Allah says in the Holy Quran: “Neither anything wet nor dry that is not contained in this luminous book.” (The Holy Quran)

I jst gt confused sometimes , dats it
and cn u provide me wth sme answer relating quran with 3 other sources of law

Question: Describe the 4 main sources of the legal thinking in Islam? [10]
Answer: The divine revelation (the Holy Quran) is the first basic primary source in Islamic law. It is the most authentic, comprehensive book contains laws of all spheres regarding to Islam. In the holy Quran Allah says “This is the book in it is guidance without doubt to those who fear” (2:2) it is the direct word of Allah hence its purity is doubtless. It’s clear teachings in Islamic legal thinking are followed without questions as Quran exist in its original form as Allah says in the Holy Quran “We have without doubt revealed the reminder and we will guard it” (15:9) The Holy Quran is a primary source containing all the fundamental directives and instructions of Allah including the principals relating to all the aspects of social and cultural life of human being individually and in whole community. The Quran is the last and complete edition of divine guidance and this is the only book of Allah which is not been distorted.
The second primary source of legal thinking in Islam is Sunnah. It comes next to the Quran. Sunnah literally means the sayings and actions of Prophet (S.A.W) or approval of actions of others by him. Sunnah is used when teachings of the Quran is not in the detail form but is summarized or when Quran is silent. Than the legislation may solely be derived from the Sunnah as Allah says in the Holy Quran “Nor does he speak of his own desire and he follows whatever been inspired to him and revealed to him” (Al-Najum). For example Muslims are commanded to pray Salat and pay Zakat but it is not mentioned in the Holy Quran that how to pry and how much to offer Zakat, it’s the Sunnah of the Prophet (S.A.W) that gave a clear description of such laws pertaining to Zakat and Prayer as Holy Prophet (S.A.W) himself said “Pray as you see me offering prayers” (Sahih Bukhari).
Ijma is the third source of Islamic legal thinking. In the terminology of religion Ijma means consensus of the companions of the Prophet (S.A.W) or Muslim jurists of a particular age, on a question of law. The Holy Prophet (S.A.W) said “Gather together the righteous from among my community and decide the matter with their council and do not decide it by any man’s opinion” (Abu Daud). Ijma of the scholars signifies the importance of the legislation in the Muslim community. Ijma is considered as sufficient evidence for the implementation of the Islamic law because Prophet (S.A.W) himself said “My community will not agree unanimously on an error” (Tirmizi). The best example of Ijma is that when Holy Prophet (S.A.W) consulted his companions about matters that were not concerned with religion like Ijma for the battle of Uhad, because Allah commanded him to do that. “Take council with them in the conduct of affairs.” (3:139).
Qiyas is the fourth source of Islamic legal thinking. Qiyas is an analogical deduction from the above three sources of law. It basically resorted in respect of problems about which there is no specific provision in the Holy Quran or Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W). In case when something needs a legal ruling but has not been clearly addressed in other Islamic sources, judges may use (Islamic Scholars) analogy, reasoning and legal precedent to decide new case when a general principal can be applied to new situation e.g. the scholars have developed detailed principals of analogical deduction or Qiyas in the book of Islamic laws. The Prophet (S.A.W) reported to have encouraged Qiyas in his lifetime. When Holy Prophet (S.A.W) was sending Mauz bin Jabal (R.A) as the governor of Syria/Yemen. The Holy Prophet (S.A.W) asked him “How will you decide when a matter comes to you for decision?” He replied “I shall decide according to the book of Allah.” The Prophet (S.A.W) again said that “If you did not find it in the book of Allah?” Mauz (R.A) replied “Than I will decide according to the Sunnah of the Prophet (S.A.W).” If you find nothing in there? Holy Prophet (S.A.W) asked. Hazrat Mauz (R.A) replied “Than I will exert myself for my own judgment.” (Tirmizi & Abu Daud)

In case when something needs a legal ruling but has not been clearly addressed in other Islamic sources, judges may use (Islamic Scholars) analogy, reasoning and legal precedent to decide new case when a general principal can be applied to new situation e.g. the scholars have developed detailed principals of analogical deduction or Qiyas in the book of Islamic laws.

Holy Prophet (S.A.W) asked. Hazrat Mauz (R.A) replied “Than I will exert myself for my own judgment.” (Tirmizi & Abu Daud)

Question: How have the Sunnah/Hadis of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) being used as a source of guidance by the Muslims in Islamic Legal thinking?
Answer: “……..Whoever obeys Allah and His messenger that is a great achievement? (33:70-71)” The best of speech is the speech of Allah. That is The Book of Allah. The best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad (S.A.W). The Qur'an was revealed to him and commanded him to obey all what He had ordered him to do, that is, to expound His message to the people. Allah says, “We have revealed to you the Reminder (The Qur'an) to expound to people what was revealed to them” (16:44). The explanation of the meaning of the word or sentence or verse for which man needs an explanation, most of which bear reference to 'Mujmal' (comprehensive) verses or 'Amah' (general) verses or 'Mutlaq' (unbounded) verses. Then comes the Sunnah and clarifies the sentences and specifies the verses called 'Amah' and defines what is 'Mutlaq' that is, in reference to the saying (Qaul) of The Prophet (S.A.W), his deed (Fai'l) and the act he confirmed (Iqrar). The necessity of Sunnah to understand The Qur'an and its Parables, for example Allah says: “Cut off the hand of the thief, male or female, as a recompense for that which they committed……..” (5:38) is a fitting example of that. The thief in this verse is general like the hand. The oral tradition explains the first of them and restricts it by 'as-‘sareq' (the thief) who steals is worth a fourth of a Dinar or more (Bukhari & Muslim). Again, the other is explained by the action of the Prophet (S.A.W) or the action of his companions and his confirmation. They used to cut the hand of the thief from the wrist as is known in the work of Hadis.
The oral tradition explains the hand mentioned in the verse on Tayammum (dust ablution) “…..And rub there on your face and hands……….” (5:6) is also the palm of the hand as it is stated in a Hadis Tayammum, is the wiping of the face and the hands. (Bukhari; Muslim)
There are other verses that cannot be completely understood except through Sunnah. Like:
Allah says: “When you travel on earth, there is no blame on you to shorten your prayer, for fear the unbelievers will persecute you.” (4:101) it is obvious from this verse that fear is a pre-requisite for the shortening of prayers. Some of the Prophet's companions asked him: "Why do we shorten our prayers while we feel safe?" He said: It is a charity from Allah, so accept it (Muslim).
Allah says: “……. Any (food) forbidden to be taken by one who wishes to, unless it is dead meat or blood poured forth or the flesh of swine, for it is an abomination………” (6:145).
The Sunnah has forbidden many things not mentioned in the verse mentioned above, as for example in the saying of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) like:
As the Prophet (S.A.W) is reported to have said on the Day of Khyber, “Allah and His Messenger have prohibited the consumption of domesticated donkeys, for they are filth.” (Bukhari; Muslim)
We can see the importance attached to Sunnah in Islamic Law. When we divert our intention again to the examples mentioned beside others not mentioned, we are certain that there is no way to understand the Qur'an correctly except in association with the interpretation of the Sunnah. As The Prophet (S.A.W) said: “I leave behind me two things. You will never go astray if you hold fast to them: The Qur'an and my Sunnah.” (Bukhari)

I had some answer for u to check for me if it is up to the mark plzyou------

Q1. Describe how was quran revealed to Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) between 610 and 632 A.D?

ANS: Quran is the last Divine scripture revealed onto Holy Prophet(P.B.U.H) over a period of 23 years . Initially, it was kept in Preserved Tablet , n than was sent down to Bait-ul-Izzah.

It is rather a glorious Quran in a preserved tablet

The quran was revealed onto Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) towards the end of Ramadan , most probably in the 27th night , while he was meditating in the cave of Hira.

It was,

Read in the name of your Lord and Cherisher , who creaed thee , created thee out of a clot of congealed blood----------

After this there was a pause of 3 years in which Holy Prophet(P.B.U.H) preached to his close relatives , after which he was commanded to preach openly, so accordingly he gathered all the people of makkah on the safa hill and invited them to the message of Allah , after this all of them mocked him and started insulting him. Especially, the attitude of influential makkans was hostile , they started persecuating and torturing poor and slave muslims mercilessly , Bilal is an example , although some of them died on account of tortures but never thought of renouncing the religion. Holy Prophet himself was mocked and tortured , makkans called him abtar after the death of his sons , they called him a poet , magician and even went to the extent of imposing a social , economic boycott on Banu Hashim who had supported Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) . But during all these problems and difficulties , musliams remained stead fast and their faith was strengthened.

The last revelation was received by Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) in the plain of Arafat during hajj , which said

This day have I perfected your religion for you and completed my favour onto you------

The surahs of Holy Quran can be divided into 2 parts , MAKKI SURAHS and MADNI SURAHS, makki surahs were those which were revealed in makkah and deal with the articles of faith and fudmentals of religion , whereas , MADNI surahs were revealed in madinah and deal with obligations of islam. According to Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H), he received revelations in different modes , sometimes by hearing divine sounds , sometimes he presipires in intence cold , sometimes his body weight would increase so much , while at other times either Angel Jibreel would come in human form or in his real form or it would directly come in his heart , or sometimes by direct conversation with Allah , although it happened at rare vents . among them the hardest on Holy Prophet(P.B.U.H) was the ringing of bells.

Hazrat aisha said , once I saw revelation coming on Holy Prophet and when the condition was over , presiperation ran down from his forehead even in the intence cold
Even , Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) said,
It cmes to me some times as the ringing of bells , and that is the hardest on me , then the angel leaves me and I remember what he says.........(BUKHARI)
Whenever , revelation came he would ask one of his scribes to write them down , either on stones slabs , palm leaves , bones , papers or trunks .
