THE SUBSTANTIATION REGARDING THE REMISSION OF THE PLACES AND TIMES IN THE LIGHT OF THE PROPHETIC TEACHINGS: A CRITICAL STUDY

Abstract

Islamic law is not static and an abstract thing which may remain functional till a certain time, and its function may become doubtful with the change of time as well as place .It is a fact that Islam has given instructions for leading life. Though these instructions had been issued in a certain era and in specific conditions, and these had been promulgated in special types of society, yet from the words as well as the techniques used by the Holy Prophet (PBUH) for practicing the same we get some important universal principles. These principles are, in all conditions, useful and practicable for the equal treatment of the society. Now, it is up to the Jurists of Islam to derive verdicts from these principles, according to the incidents that usually happen in the practical life, and implement the same in the dealings of the life. Going through the different verdicts made by the first caliph, Hadrat Abu Bakar (R.A), in depth, it appears that "Analogy and exercise of judgment" were the most important duty of his Caliphate. The Article under reference emphasizes to critically study the stronger bridges of understanding between Islam, Science and Environment.
