Crime Prevention comprises strategies and measures that seek to reduce the risk of crimes occurring, and their potentially harmful effects on individuals and society, including fear of crime, by intervening to influence their multiple causes. Well-planned crime prevention strategies not only prevent crime and victimization but also contribute to sustainable development. Muhammad (PBUH) as a Prophet of Allah and Statesman, established the first Islamic State in Madinah. Madinah was a dynamic and working society that evolved Shariah rule that ensure peace and prosperity with a special focus on strategies of crime prevention. This paper essentially provides an in-depth understanding of these strategies and their relevance to Muslim societies of the post-modern era. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, best blessing and perfect greeting to Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, his family and his companions altogether. As accomplishing the talent of passing verdicts in Islamic law (Ijtihad) is unattainable to any one, since it requires extraction and free time, Shari'a, out of its easiness, has commanded each adult according to his abilities. Thus, it obliges both the layman and the Jurist (Mujtahid) to know the general principles and the necessary basics of the religion, whereas it distinguishes Al Mujtahid with the duty of giving verdicts in the rules of practical issues that have been established via obligatory rules (less than Mutawattir) . Hence, is it permissible for ordinary people to emitate the jurists concerning the branches of the Jurisprudence? Furthermore, the Mujtahid, himself, might not be able to give Ijtihad and perhaps, for some reason, fails to achieve that; therefore, is it acceptable for him to imitate other jurists too? Moreover, what is the effect of these two cases in prayer's conditions like facing Al Kiblah and when it is time to prayer? These are what the paper in hand will answer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
