Dimensions of Fiqh , Savior of Today’s Human

When it is talked about Islamic fiqh (jurisprudence) most of scientists of human sciences notice the dimensions of this field of science on course of processology that it is not observed in any field and school to this extent of precision. In this field of human sciences with applying a title, mujtahid (individual who is qualified to exercise ijtihad in the evaluation of Islamic law), we not only animate the huge dynamism of ports of capacity of life and immortality, but also we give life to a lasting  answer-oriented look containing logic of development in this ground.

That ijtihad (Ijtihad is an Islamic legal term referring to independent reasoning or the thorough exertion of a jurist’s mental faculty in finding a solution to a legal question) can open the way to facilitate researches of good and pleasant life for today’s human is itself of criteria which is not limited to a particular time in the scale of sustainability in this leaven of human science because  jurisprudence sciences in Islam has the capacity in the shape and size of human as what defines human as human,  in the past , present and future centuries and ages.

The approach of Islamic fiqh towards human, unlike dimensions explained in political and social schools set in the post-powerful and pluralist feudalism era, has been in dimensions from eternal to infinite. It gives human the dynamism of running about wisdom and doubtless survey from one point of existence to the point of ascent in any time. It gives strength to any axis of behavior on course to initiative, forbids treading water and encourages progress and moving ahead. It reduces the choice of the indulgence, annuals extreme and introduces justice, as what defines justice as justice, and appropriate to the dignity of any one of the creation. Islamic fiqh is summarized in the principles that have been inspired by the science of creation for managing and elevating the creation and it is equipped with the knowledge of hidden dimensions of human. Aham and Mohem (An Islamic Fiqh term which means choosing between important and more important when there is contradiction) and distinguishing the priority of each one in this life-oriented cosmorama and beyond the understanding of human is option by option acceptable by mysticism. Verification and originality-centrism relying on the series of narrators among the elites, that the principles of the fiqh sciences are based on it, has equipped this science with the transparence of Fountain of Youth and there are few aestheticists who have not been astonished in this field by so many such wisdoms.

Maturation of the guide in this series of teachings is decorated with infallibility and this phenomenon, except having Divine criteria and concepts, has not rooted in this implication. The most sublime method of management which keeps these sciences away from making error is its macro axes of reliance on marjaiyat (Islamic term means following) in the process of upgrading of the commands.

I wish all humanity had the power of understanding and realized that the law, as what defines law as law, today which has turned as a methodical tool in the human lives is itself the offspring of fiqh principles which gives shape to the politics, economics, laws and relations.

The philosophy and reasoning have been laid in contrasting the Islamic fiqh principles. Ulema in the human sciences today believe that the limited power of human makes human face with expansion of realm of individual and collective life on one hand, with conflict of interests and clash of profit and loss, on the other hand, and all make him choose, prioritize and identify his important priorities.

Who is that has a hand at preliminaries and human sciences studies and does not know that contradictions exist for all humans in all scenes of the life? and this very knowledge confirms sufficiently that rule of common sense for choosing the best and prioritizing the best has always existed but determining the precise criteria for prioritizing is not an easy task because all Divine religions especially Islam have come to the help of the sense in this issue and have helped it in identifying the examples.

Without the assistance of religions, human has never had comprehensiveness of achieving so many progresses in the world. These directed guides whose roots can be considered as Divine have always directed the scientific growth of human being. Although today human with a childish pride considers all scientific achievements as humanistic, the volume of his knowledge in comparison to his unknowns is incomputable.

A microscopic-size virus with fat layer called Coronavirus (COVID-19) has confirmed human’s little knowledge and today all the world from all walks of the life acknowledges it. In this atheist West or East world, we sometimes hear voices that bow down to the grandeur of human’s reliance on the Divine and Revelation. The nature of human can be covered but cannot be ignored. Islamic jurisprudence principles have been written in accordance with this very nature and if human had not gone astray, he would have had fewer plights.
