3. LawsOne of the primary duties of the Prophet (r) was to judge between people in theirdisputes. Since his judgements were all based on revelation, as stated earlier, theymust be considered a primary source of principles by which judgements arecarried out in an Islaamic State. Allaah also addressed this responsibility in theQur’aan saying:ياأ َيها الذ ِّين آمنوا أ َطِيعوا االلهَ‏ وأ َطِيعوا الرسول َ وأ ُولِي ا ْلأَمرِ‏ مِنك ُم ف َإِن ْتنازعتم في شيءٍ‏ ف َردوه إِل َى االلهِ‏ والرسولِ‏ (“O believers obey Allaah, obey the Messenger and those in authorityamong you. If you dispute about anything, refer it to Allaah and theMessenger.” (Soorah an-Nisaa, 4: 59)Thus, hadeeths are essential for the smooth running of the law courts in anIslaamic State.)4. Moral IdealSince the Prophet (r) was guided by revelation in his personal life, his characterand social interactions became prime examples of moral conduct for Muslimsuntil the Last Day. Attention was drawn to this fact in the following Qur’aanicverse:‏(ل َ ق َد ك َان َ ل َك ُم في رسولِ‏ االلهِ‏ أ ُسوة ً حسنة ً (“Surely there is for all of you a good example (of conduct) in the wayof Allaah’s Messenger.” (Soorah al-Ahzaab, 33: 21)Consequently, the daily life of the Prophet (r) as recorded in hadeeth representsan ideal code of good conduct. In fact, when the Prophet’s wife, ‘Aa’ishah, wasasked about his conduct, she replied, “His character was the Qur’aan.” 10until you possess 20 dinars 9 and a year passes on it, in which case ½ a dinar is due. Whateverexceeds that will be counted likewise 9 . And no zakaah is payable on wealth until a year passes onit.” (Sunan Abu Dawud, vol. 2, p. 411, no. 1568 and authenticated in Saheeh Sunan AbeeDaawood, vol. 1, p. 436, no. 1573.)10 The full text of the hadeeth is as follows:
5. Preservation of IslaamThe science of narration, collection and criticism of hadeeth was unknown to theworld prior to the era of the Prophet (r). In fact, it was due in part to the absenceof such a reliable science that the messages of the former prophets became lost ordistorted in the generations that followed them. Therefore, it may be said that it islargely due to the science of hadeeth that the final message of Islaam has beenpreserved in it is original purity for all times. This is alluded to in the Qur’aanicverse:‏(إِ‏ نا نحن نزل ْنا الذ ِّك ْر وإِنا ل َه ل َحافِظ ُون َ (“Indeed, I have revealed the Reminder, I will, indeed, protect it.”(Soorah al-Hijr, 15: 9)Hadeeth and the SunnahThe term hadeeth has become a synonym for the term sunnah, though there issome difference in their meanings. Sunnah, according to Arabic lexicographers,means ‘a way; course; rule; manner of acting or conduct of life’. 11 Sunnah, as atechnical term in the Science of hadeeth, refers to whatever statements, acts,approvals, physical or character descriptions that are attributable to the Prophet(r) along with his biography before or after the beginning of his prophethood. Itis thus synonymous with the term hadeeth.However, according to Usool al-Fiqh science (legal methodology), sunnahrefers to only the statements, acts and approvals of the Prophet (r). It also refersto whatever is supported by evidence from the sharee‘ah; the opposite of bid‘ah.And in the Legalistic science of Fiqh the term sunnah refers to recommended actsعن سعدِ‏ بنِ‏ هِشامِ‏ بنِ‏ عامِرٍ‏ ق َال َ أ َتيت عائِشة َ ف َق ُل ْت يا أ ُم ال ْمؤمِنِ‏ ين أ َخبِرِينِي بِخل ُ قِ‏ رسولِ‏ الل َّهِ‏ صل َّى الل َّه عل َيهِ‏وسل َّم ق َال َت ك َان َ خل ُق ُه ال ْق ُرآن َ أ َما تق ْرأ ُ ال ْق ُرآن َ ق َول َ الل َّهِ‏ عز وجل َّ وإِن ك ل َعل َى خل ُ قٍ‏ عظِيمٍ‏ ق ُل ْت ف َإِني أ ُرِيد أ َن ْأ َتبتل َ ق َال َت ل َا تف ْعل ْ أ َما تق ْرأ ُ ل َق َد ك َان َ ل َك ُم فِي رسولِ‏ الل َّهِ‏ أ ُسوة ٌ حسنة ٌ ف َق َد تزوج رسول ُ الل َّهِ‏ صل َّى الل َّه عل َيهِ‏وسل َّم وق َد ولِد ل َهMusnad Ahmad, no. 23460 CD.11 Lane’s Lexicon, vol. 1, p. 1438.
