This paper aims to study a group of complicated articles in the principles of Islamic jurisprudence that Taqi al-Din Ibn Taymiyyah dealt with and directed, after reviewing his work thoroughly, the selection fell on four articles, which are: Al-Samaniyah’s article on limiting the perceptions of knowledge to the senses, the article of the majority of the scholars of the principles of Islamic Jurisprudence on the scarcity of the overall memorized text, the article of Al-Shāfiʿī and Ahmad regarding the negation of abrogation of the Qur’an for the Sunnah, And Al-ʿAnbari’s article on correcting every Mujtahid (the one giving an independent reasoning). The paper dealt in each article with three issues: its origin, the point of its complication, and Ibn Taymiyyah’s treatment of it. In studying the articles presented, the researcher adopted the critical analytical approach. This paper concluded that: the distinction of al-Taimi’s work due to the wide reading of articles, and a thorough critic in dealing with the articles at the level of authenticating, reviewing and directing, addressing the complicated issues that the scholars are less exposed to, with the investigation of Ibn Taymiyyah's directives to these articles. The study recommended careful reviewing of articles in this field, investigating their issues, and treating them according to the correct approach, giving observations and correcting them according to contemporary studies, and urging for extensive writing in this field according to Ibn Taymiyyah and other critics of the scholars of this discipline.

Judgment of consensus denial is a critical fundamentalist research. " Who denied the consensus is nonbeliever" is a phrase widespread between scholars and jurists where is the one who agreed, others were opposed, others elaborated on it, and there were who hesitated and worried. For that concern, this research paper studies the judgment of consensus denial to obtain a result . The research paper presents a brief introduction, outlining the meaning of the consensus, its authenticity, and whether it was indicative or subjunctive connotation. In addition, it presents the elements of consensus, conditions, sections, and types. The paper displays the judgment of consensus denial whether the denial is based on its authenticity or judgment and whether that consensus is indicative or subjunctive. It displays the sayings of the fundamentalists of the four religious’ schools of Islamic jurisprudence in this, as well as with the examples thereof . The research concluded that consensus is either indicative or subjunctive. The subjunctive consensus, there is hardly one who rejected its denier. As for indicative consensus was vary, there was a consensus that it is a necessity, and those who denied the consensus are nonbelievers for most of the fundamentalists for its consecutiveness. Most of the disagreement is focused on this type. The opinion of a group of fundamentalists, such as al-Amidi, Ibn al-Hajib, Al-Juwayni, and others. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper attempts to settle an old debate which has not yet been resolved, between rational scientific culture based on logic and an objective process that is relatively selfless on the one hand, and a faith-oriented religious culture on the other hand, and how both views impact historiography as a methodological science. Accordingly, history throughout the Islamic era has remained a fixed and traditional process, which adopts the approaches and methods of early predecessors and scholars in term of evaluating and critiquing narratives to verify the authenticity of prophetic hadiths, in the context of broader and more general contexts, which believed that history in itself is a product of a divine creation.

This research aims to shed light on a hidden aspect of the personality of Imam Ibn Al-Qattan, after becoming famous in the field of Hadith sciences. The aspect that I want to show in this paper is the aspect of Usul, as the research revealed Ibn al-Qattan's good knowledge of Usul al-Fiqh. The historians mentioned that he has many books in this science, perhaps the most important of which is the book: "Masayil Min 'Usul Alfiqh Lam Yadhkurha Al'usuliuwn Fi Kutubihim". This indicates that Ibn al-Qattan was not only concerned with what the scholars of Usul al-Fiqh said, but he was one of the renovators in this science. Among what we explained in this research: what is related to the total evidence considered by him in the construction of rulings, which are the Qur'an, the Sunnah, consensus, measurement, accompaniment, reclamation, and the principle of precaution... It was also clear that he did not see the authenticity of some evidence as Shariah from us, and blocking the pretext in opposition to text and more. This research has mentioned some of Ibn al-Qattan's choices in the Fundamentals of jurisprudence sub issues. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research is concerned with studying the phenomenon of the limitation of the methods of verbal connotations among Al mutakallimun- team of scholars of uṣul al-fiqh (Principles of Islamic jurisprudence)- down to the approach of Fakhr al-Din al-Razi. In this paper, the researcher has followed the inductive or the semi-structured approach to the madhahib (ways of act) of uṣul al-fiqh scholars, while relying on the analytical deductive approach to thoroughlyexamine the views of uṣul al-fiqh scholars in order to reveal the facts implied within these views. The aim of this study is to highlight this phenomenon and to identify the orientations of its figures by focusing on the criteria adopted in determining the proposed approaches to semantics as used by uṣul al-fiqh scholars, in an attempt to interpret this phenomenon anddefine its stages and effects within the area conflict and weighting. The study has found that Al-Ghazali was the first to present a comprehensive specification of semantics from the perspective of uṣul al-fiqh, without any restricting criteria, while Al-Razi was one of the scholars who first provided limiting criteria for verbal semantics from the perspective of uṣul al-fiqh. Theresearcher has concluded that Al-Razi’s method, through the criteria that he proposed, may be attached to deep systematic problems that prevented from benefiting from it in the section of ‘moral conflict between the connotations of meanings,’ which weakened its legislative effect in mentally understanding the captured meanings when weighting between the conflicting evidence.

Allah Almighty has created such men in every age for the protection of the religion of Islam whose ijtihād and da'wah deeds have always defeated the false ideologies by proving the legitimacy of Islam on firm grounds. From those blessed ones, Imām Sha'rānī and Shāh Walīullāh are eminent, intellectual, spiritual and rejuvenating personalities of their time. The main purpose of this article is to make a comparative study in the context of the views of each of the above two personalities from different angles regarding the differences in jurisprudence. This paper also aims to highlight the rational and moderate position of these personalities while making their different opinion in comparison to other scholars, so that researchers and scholars of this age may get guidance regarding how to make different opinion. It will help the researchers to take advantage of these blessed attitudes of the ancestors and play an important role in building a peaceful society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The scholarship in Islamic civilization is characterized by combining the transmitted sciences and the rational ones as well as by combining the forensic sciences and the empirical ones. The Muslim scholars have embarked on all these sciences and excelled in them. Resultantly, they became able to build the land and make the history. Thus, they proved to the world that the religion of Islam is the religion of civilization, scholarship, renaissance, development and openness which has the capability to interact with all nations in a constructive manner. Similarly, in the subcontinent some scholars have emerged who combined the transmitted sciences with the rational ones, especially “sciences of Ḥadīth” and “science of medicine,” so they brought them together successfully and obtained an eminent scholarship. They stood out among all through teaching career and distinguished authorship in these fields. The paper introduces some of such scholars, highlights their prominent positions and sheds light over their work and contribution. The author adopted two approaches; namely, the inductive approach for tracing and collecting information regarding the scholars of Ḥadīth in the books siyar and rijāl; and the descriptive approach for analyzing their works in the fields of Ḥadīth and Medicine.
