Pakistan Studies, Islamiyat and Urdu: Post your doubts here!

[mercedes008]

The Holy Prophet was always kind, generous and just in his relations with other people and never mocked them or otherwise rediculed them, especially the non muslims, he displayed remarkable courage and wisdom in many of his counters with the non muslims, one such example would be his visit to taif, after receiving a\ hostile response from the makkans, the holy Prophet decided to try and preach in Taif, so along with Zaid bin Sabit, he went to Taif hoping they would accept Islam, but the opposite happened, instead of responding to his call, they mocked and disbelieved in him, some of the chiefs ordered the hooligans of taif to chase them out and pelt him, they did so to such a great extent that his shoes were filled with blood, after coming back in such a horrible situation, Allah sent Angel Gabriel to the Holy Prophet, he asked him that if he wishes, the valley of Taif will be crushed between the two mountains, the merciful Prophet replied in the negative and prayed that the progney of taif would be a part of the islamic ummah in the future, which it did later on, such a great act of forgiveness was carried out by the Prophet which any other person in this situation would be unable to bear such a suffering. likewise, many more events took place which showed his conduct with the non-muslims. Another example like this would be the conquest of Makkah, After 23 years of persecution and torture by the Holy Prophet in Makkah, Being socially boycotted for 3 years in Sh'ib Abi Talib, At a time when the Holy Prophet had 1,14,000 companions with him and every Makkan who had ill-treated the Holy Prophet had fear in his eyes, despite being in a position to take revenge, the Prophet announced general pardon to everybody who had wronged him, alot of people were impressed by his action and accepted Islam.

Yes, first three questions will ALWAYS be from section 1&2, rest 2 can be from section 2 or 3, ( although q4 is supposed to be from section 3 but recently it has been coming from section 2 but there is no garuntee about that

marking scheme says:
Why do some legal scholars reject the use of analogy (qiyas)? [4]
Excellent answers here will be able to give a sound analysis of the use of analogy (qiyas)
with possible, but clear, examples to illustrate the point. Examples should be about analogy
and not confused with any of the other sources of law.
Candidates could mention that it is a source used when others do not offer guidance, and
compares an existing accepted situation with a new one. There is more individual thought
that goes into the decisions than with primary sources.
Better answers will mention why it’s rejected by some scholars, due to the varying and
conflicting answers that can be given.

examiner report says:
There were some good answers to this question, but generally answers were vague. The best
answers offered reasons about the weakness of qiyas as a general source of law, explaining that it
was due to the fact that the personal opinion of an individual may be subject to error, and why
some scholars preferred the alternative ijma or the Shi’a preference of using ‘aql.
However, many answers had a general comment on qiyas not being liked because it is based on
individual reasoning, and there were a significant number of candidates who tried to argue that
qiyas is not needed in Islamic legal thinking, so instead of trying to answer why some scholars
reject qiyas they made a general statement about it not being reliable and so rejected by all
scholars.

aand, my notes say:
''Qiyas is the Fourth source of law, subordinate and subsidiary to the Quran, Hadith and Ijma. It is a principle of extension of islamic law on the basis of a likeness in two situations, one of which is explained in the primary sources, which it can not contradict.Qiyas must be applied only when there is no solution in the earlier sources.
An example of Qiyas: Drugs like opium or cocaine were not known during the time of the Prophet, so they have not been mentioned explicitly as prohibited. However a Hadith (primary source!) is : '' Every intoxicant is Khamr, so every intoxicant is Haraam.'' Thus, since it is known that these drugs are highly intoxicating, these are also Haram.
However, some scholars reject the concept of Qiyas on the basis of the Ayah: ''..And We have sent down to thee a Book explaining all things..'' (16:89).
Their opinion is that there is too much personal opinion involved in Qiyas, thus resulting contradicting ideas of different people. These various opinions are not considered binding and authoritative by many Sunni scholars, and Shia scholars reject Qiyas in favour of their use of Aql.''

pheww.. hope it makes sense, and helps you out!

What did i miss in my answer? and thanks, i do have points on why its rejected, i ll give em to later, they have more specific points which you might agree with and will give you more info on em.

[ElLa_Jan]

yeah i realise that, can you post it, one liner facts etc

- the Prophet PBUH had announced general pardon before entering makkah, and it was announced to the people to have no fear as no one would be killed or injured.
-he entered makkah with humility, instead of the pride of a conquror.
- he even declared the house of Abu Sufyan, his bitterest enemy, as a safe house.
-He recited: ''And say: truth has (now) arrived and faalsehood perished: for falsehood is (by its nature) bound to perish'' (17:81)
-History can not cite any other instance of such magnanimity and mercy on the part of a conqueror.
-The conquest of Makkah opened a new era of Islam. it practically settled the struggle for supremacy in Arabia and the Prophety was elevated to a paramount position over the whole Arabian Penisula.
