Knowledge Integration Between the Origins of Jurisprudence and Doctrine

Abstract

This noble, exalted, and purified Sharia came complete, perfected by the integration of its origins and branches. No origin replaces another origin, no whole replaces another whole, no branch replaces a branch, no interior replaces an apparent, and no apparent replaces an interior. Its origins and branches serve and support each other to build its totality. This is why the Sharia was one unit in its revealed proof, with no distinction between operations or beliefs. So, you find belief and action in a single verse, and you find in a single hadith a branch and a root, with no separation between them, and the Companions - may God be pleased with them - were devoid of this foundation. So, they understand the complete jurisprudence: in faith, knowledge, and action. However, in the Sharia, there are principles to which branches return, universals from which particulars are built, certainties to which suspicions are returned, decisive things by which hidden and doubtful things are revealed, and clarifications to which generalities are returned. Islam has its origin in monotheism and faith, and all the provisions of the religion return to it. If we establish this principle, it will be easy for us to establish all the provisions of the Sharia, and if we are weak in establishing this principle, it will become difficult, also impossible to establish the rest of the Sharia.
