Item As-Si’dī’s Exposition on Al-Adillah: Anchoring Islamic Jurisprudence In Qur’ānic and Prophetic Foundations(Sprin Journal of Arabic-English studies, 2024) Ganai, Maasid Siddiq MohiyuddinThis paper delves into the profound contributions of ‘Abdur Raḥmān Nāṣir As-Si’dī in elucidating the concept of Al-Adillah within the realm of Islamic jurisprudence. By exploring As-Si’dī’s systematic approach to the evidentiary sources of Fiqh, the study underscores the centrality of the Qur’ān and the Sunnah, alongside the complementary roles of Ijmā’(consensus) and Al-Qiyās Aṣ-Ṣaḥīḥ (sound analogy), as foundational pillars for deriving legal rulings. As-Si’dī’s work reaffirms the integration and coherence of these sources within the Islamic legal framework, countering claims that Fiqh is devoid of scriptural basis. This investigation highlights As-Si’dī’s insistence on the rootedness of Islamic Aḥkām in these evidences, whether through direct textual references, scholarly consensus, or rational deduction. The paper emphasizes that true jurisprudential understanding and application hinge on tracing legal reasoning back to these established sources, a principle deeply embedded in traditional Islamic scholarship. Through As-Si’dī’s lens, the paper reveals the depth of Islamic legal theory’s fidelity to its foundational texts, offering insights into the enduring relevance and unity of Islamic jurisprudenceItem Harmonizing Divine Intentions With Human Welfare: The Maqāṣid Ash-Sharī’ah Approach of ‘Abdur Raḥmān Nāṣir As-Si’dī(Journal of integrated sciences, 2024) Ganai, Maasid Siddiq MohiyuddinThis research paper delves into the significant scholarly contributions of ‘Abdur Raḥmān Nāṣir As-Si’dī towards understanding the Maqāṣid Ash-Sharī’ah (objectives of Islamic Law). It highlights how As-Si’dī systematically engaged with these objectives and emphasizes their role in applying Islamic law in a manner that balances textual fidelity with contextual relevance. His works, which range from Qur'anic exegesis to treatises on the virtues of Islam, demonstrate a deep commitment to exploring the ethical and moral dimensions of the Sharī’ah, its adaptability, and its contemporary relevance. The paper outlines As-Si’dī's methodological approach to prioritizing the objectives of Islamic law, his exploration of its purposes, and the ranking of these objectives to guide legal reasoning and decision-making. It seeks to underscore As-Si’dī's contributions to the dialogue within Islamic jurisprudence about the balance between traditional understanding and contemporary challenges.Item The Methodology of The Muḥaddithūn In The Compilation And Exegesis Of Ḥadīth(ISRG Journal of Arts Humanities & Social Sciences, 2024) Ganai, Maasid Siddiq MohiyuddinThis paper delves into the intricate world of Ḥadīth scholarship, specifically focusing on the methodologies employed by the Muḥaddithūn (traditional scholars of Ḥadīth) in the compilation and exegesis of Ḥadīth literature. Ḥadīth, the recorded sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), holds a pivotal role in Islamic jurisprudence and theology. Understanding the rigorous processes and principles employed by the Muḥaddithūn is essential to appreciating the authenticity and reliability of Ḥadīth. The study begins by examining the historical evolution of Ḥadīth scholarship, tracing its origins to the early Islamic period. It explores the development of various schools of Ḥadīth transmission, emphasizing the contributions of luminaries like Imam Bukhārī, Imam Muslim, and others in codifying the science of Ḥadīth criticism (ʻIlm al-Jarḥ wa-l-Taʻdīl). The paper also delves into the classification of Ḥadīth based on authenticity and content, distinguishing between Ṣaḥīḥ (authentic), Ḥasan (good), and Dāʻīf (weak) narrations. Furthermore, the paper discusses the role of isnād (chain of narrators) and matn (content) analysis in assessing the reliability of Ḥadīth. It also examines the principles and criteria used by Muḥaddithūn to verify the credibility of narrators, including their moral character, memory, and precision. The methodology of textual criticism (dirāyah) is explored in detail, shedding light on the meticulous examination of narrations for inconsistencies and contradictions. Additionally, this research explores the interpretive approaches (tafsīr) employed by Muḥaddithūn when elucidating the meanings and implications of Ḥadīth. It examines the various modes of interpretation, including linguistic analysis, historical context, and jurisprudential implications, to extract legal and moral guidance from Ḥadīth. The paper concludes by highlighting the enduring significance of the Muḥaddithūn's methodologies in the contemporary Islamic world. It underscores the critical role played by their rigorous standards in preserving the authenticity and reliability of Ḥadīth, serving as a beacon of guidance for Muslims worldwide. In an era marked by information proliferation, understanding the methodology of the Muḥaddithūn remains imperative for anyone seeking to engage with the rich tradition of Ḥadīth scholarship.

It examines the contributions of three eminent scholars - Ash-Shāfi’ī, Ibn Taymīyah, and Ibn Al-Qayyim - to this science, each offering unique perspectives and approaches. Ash-Shāfi’ī, known for his methodical approach, emphasized the preservation of the prophetic tradition (Sunnah) and consensus (Ijmā’) as primary sources of law. His work, "Ar-Risālah," reflects a commitment to structured legal reasoning, manifesting a traditionalist stance deeply rooted in established legal traditions. In contrast, Ibn Taymīyah, adopting a more reformist approach, challenged blind imitation (Taqlīd) and advocated for a return to the Quran and Ḥadīth as primary sources of law. He championed independent reasoning (Ijtihād) and critiqued excessive Taqlīd, sparking a paradigm shift in Uṣūl Al-fiqh. Ibn Al-Qayyim, a distinguished scholar and Ibn Taymīyah's student, brought a holistic and ethical orientation to Uṣūl Al-fiqh. He integrated spiritual and ethical dimensions, emphasizing that legal decisions should be grounded in a profound understanding of Islamic morality. His contributions extended to the development of Maqāsid Ash-Sharī’ah (objectives of Islamic law), emphasizing justice, welfare, and compassion. By examining these distinct approaches, we gain insight into the dynamic nature of Uṣūl Al-fiqh and its adaptability to evolving contexts. Traditionalism, reformism, and holistic ethics offer valuable insights to address contemporary legal and ethical dilemmas while remaining faithful to foundational Islamic principles. In a world marked by diverse challenges, the enduring significance of Uṣūl Al-fiqh and its relevance in shaping contemporary jurisprudence is undeniable. This study contributes to the ongoing discourse surrounding the role of Uṣūl Al-fiqh and underscores the richness and diversity within Islamic jurisprudential thought. It also highlights the enduring legacy of these scholars and their contributions in guiding the development of Islamic law in both traditional and modern contexts.Item Verbal Semantics in Islamic Jurisprudence: ʿAbd Al-Raḥmān Nāṣir Al-Siʿdī’s Contributions to The Study of Dalālāt Al-Alfāẓ(International Journal of Fiqh and Usul al-Fiqh Studies, 2024) Ganai, Maasid Siddiq Mohiyuddin; Salama, M. A. RThis paper explores the contributions of ʿAbd al-Raḥmān Nāṣir al-Siʿdī to the understanding of Dalālāt al-Alfāẓ (Verbal Semantics) within the framework of the principles of Islamic jurisprudence. As a distinguished scholar in Uṣūl al-Fiqh, al-Siʿdī's work sheds light on the nuanced relationship between linguistic expressions and their implications in deriving legal rulings. By analysing al-Siʿdī’s scholarly output, the paper highlights how his insights into the semantics of Arabic lexicon contribute to a deeper comprehension of Islamic law and its application. Al-Siʿdī's meticulous attention to the context, grammatical structure, and etymology of words demonstrates his profound commitment to uncovering the intended meanings of the Sharī'ah. This research not only underscores al-Siʿdī's legacy in Islamic legal theory but also illustrates the pivotal role of language in the epistemology of Islamic jurisprudence. This paper employs a qualitative research approach, focusing on a thorough textual analysis of al-Siʿdī’s scholarly works, specifically his contributions to the study of Dalālāt Al-Alfāẓ (the implications of words) within Islamic jurisprudence. This paper concludes by stating that al-Siʿdī’s contributions to Uṣūl al-Fiqh not only enrich the Islamic scholarly tradition but also serves as a guide for addressing modern legal and ethical dilemmas through the prism of Islamic law. His legacy offers a foundation for future scholarly exploration, promising to extend the understanding and application of Islamic jurisprudence in diverse contemporary contexts.
