AN OVERVIEW OF ISLAMIC JURISPRUDENCE: QURAN - The work on compilation of Quran was started in Hazrat Abu Bakrs (RU) Caliphate and the first compiled Quran in the handwriting of Hazrat Osman (RU) is preserved even today and is available for public viewing in Hast Imam locality, Old Tashkent, Uzbekistan, Central Asia. The Quran was compiled by As-hab-e-Rasulullah (SAWS) on the instructions by Prophet Mohammad (SAWS). Prophet Mohammad (SAWS) used to depute Quran teachers for various places in the Islamic territory to teach reading and writing of Quran to people. This way Quran was taught and published during the time of Prophet Mohammad (SAWS). There were hundreds of Quran conners (Huffaz) who had memorized Quran during Prophet’s (SAWS) time. Thus, the narration of Quran from Prophet’s (SAWS) time till today is authentically and uninterruptedly established beyond doubt. The people of 7 recitals and 10 recitals from the time of Prophet Mohammad (SAWS) are still existing and this chain of continuous narration will Inshallah continue for ever. It is in Quran – ‘We (Allah SWT) have descended Quran and We only will preserve it’. AHADITH Ahadith were collected by the companions of Prophet Mohammad (SAWS) during his life time. It was the practice of As-hab-e-Rasulullah (SAWS) to write and / or memorize his traditions. These traditions were later compiled in book forms by prominent Imams of Ahadith. Those who collected Ahadith, scrutinized the trustworthiness of the narration and evaluated the chain of narrators stringently. This way, the traditions of Prophet Mohammad (SAWS) were preserved from the time of Prophet Mohammad (SAWS) in an authentic uninterrupted way. Hadith scholars have divided Ahadith collection into three main categories; (i) Continuous Narration (Hadith-e-Mutwatir), (ii) Acceptable Narration (Hadith-e-Mustafeedh), and (iii) Infrequent Narration (Ahad). Continuous Narration (Hadith-e-Mutwatir) - The Continuous Narration is that Hadith which has been narrated by so many people that the mind does not contemplate that all of them might have concord with lie. Thus the continuous narration is believable. A narration against it, is not acceptable. There are two types of continuous narration, as follows. (a) Continuous by word – A Hadith whose words are more or less identical in all the narrations is known as continuous narration by word (Hadith-e-Mutwatir bil lafz). (b) Continuous by meaning – A Hadith whose words may be less or more in various narrations but the narration carries the same meaning is known as ‘continuous by meaning’ (Hadith-e-Mustafeedh). This narration is also believable. The denial of the Ahadith which comes under the category of ‘continuous narration (Hadith-e-Mutwatir) is equal to the denial of Prophet Mohammad (SAWS).
