ۡQabeelat Tayybahand He said, 'These are five prayers and they are all (equal to) fifty (in reward) for My Word does notchange.' I returned to Moses and he told me to go back once again. I replied, 'Now I feel shy <strong>of</strong> askingmy Lord again.' Then Gabriel took me till we '' reached Sidrat-il-Muntaha (Lote tree <strong>of</strong>; the utmostboundary) which was shrouded in colors, indescribable. Then I was admitted into Paradise where Ifound small (tents or) walls (made) <strong>of</strong> pearls and its earth was <strong>of</strong> musk” (alBukhari).• The realization <strong>of</strong> public welfare Exemplary punishment considers public welfare by deterring people from committing crimes. Takes precedence over individual considerations.(Omar suspended the chopping <strong>of</strong> hands for stealing during the famine in Madinah for the sake<strong>of</strong> public welfare).• The realization <strong>of</strong> universal values There is a subject in Usool al-Hiqh at high level called higher objectives <strong>of</strong> <strong>Islam</strong>ic law, Imamash-Shatibee was a master this field <strong>Islam</strong>ic law came to preserve five necessities (Ad-Darurat):1.

Rescue us from this town whosepeople are oppressors; and raise for us from You one who will protect, and raise for us from You onewho will help" (alQur’an 4:75).Fighting should be stopped once peace is <strong>of</strong>fered.2. The Sunnah <strong>of</strong> the Messenger <strong>of</strong> Allah ۟ (3) ٓ Allah says [in Surah anNajm]: “Nor does he speak <strong>of</strong> (his own) desire. It is only an Inspiration that isinspired” (alQur’an 53:3-4).These ayaat show the speech <strong>of</strong> the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) has the value <strong>of</strong> inspiration from Allah.TCE Notes Revolution 24
