THE SHARÉE ROLE OF TAQLID
The essence of guidance is derived from the Holy Qurãn
- "Hudan li al-Nas" ("A Guidance for Mankind). But this guidance
and its laws are based on fundamental principles, the details of which have
been entrusted to and consigned by the Holy Prophet (Sallallaahu
Álayhi Wasallam) in order
to explain them to mankind. 1. For example, the Holy Qurãn
says: "Aqimus-Salah" ("establish
prayer"). It does not define the method as to how the prayer should be
established; how the various postures should be performed; the mode of
recitation of Surah, etc. The complete method of prayer i.e. "Salah"
is explained by the Holy Prophet (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam). 2. "Wa 'Atuz-Zakat" ("And give charity"). Now the Zakaat amounts payable on gold, silver, cattle, land,
produce, etc. are only known through the Ahadith and there is no mention of it
in the Holy Qurãn. 3. "Wa Lillahi `ala an-Nas Hij
Al-baiti" ("It is obligatory on people to
perform the Hajj of the House of Allah.) Here again, the method of Tawaf, the number of circumambulations, the details
regarding Arafat, Mina, Muzdalifah, the stoning at
the Jimar, etc. have all been explained by the Holy
Prophet (Sallallaahu Álayhi
Wasallam). Thus it becomes imperative to understand
the Holy Qurãn in the light of the Ahadith even for
major obligatory acts like Salah, Zakat and Hajj without which it is impossible
to act and understand the commands of the Holy Qurãn.
The believers are commanded to attain guidance from the Holy Qurãn in accordance with the details explained by the Holy
Prophet (Sallallaahu Álayhi
Wasallam). Therefore Allah specifies: "Whosoever
obeys the Messenger has indeed obeyed Allah." This obedience to the Holy
Prophet (Sallallaahu Álayhi
Wasallam) would in reality be obedience to Allah
Himself. A direction from the Hadith informs us: "Also perform your prayer
just as you see me perform my prayer." (Bukhari
Vol. 1, p. 1076) It is not said: "Perform your prayer in the manner you
may infer from the Holy Qurãn." Hadith is
divided into different categories:-
a.
The sayings of the Holy prophet (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam),
b.
The acts and doings of the Holy Prophet
(Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam),
c.
The sayings, acts and doings of others,
approved by the Holy Prophet (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam). All these
categories of Ahadith give guidance to the Umma.
