At Islam Love Peace, we are committed to providing reliable, balanced, and authoritative explanations of Islamic law (Sharia). Our methodology is rooted in classical Islamic scholarship while ensuring the presentation is accessible, relevant, and engaging for a contemporary global audience.
Our Content Methodology
Our process for developing and publishing content is guided by scholarly integrity and transparency:
1. Foundational Research
Every article begins with meticulous research into the primary sources of Islamic law (Qur'an and Sunnah) and their classical interpretations. This ensures that the fundamentals of every topic are accurately represented.
2. Scholarly Review and Analysis
We analyze the positions of the four major Sunni schools of jurisprudence (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, and Hanbali). Where differences of opinion (ikhtilāf) exist, we strive to present the range of views fairly, often prioritizing the position deemed strongest in evidence (dalīl) or the one most applicable to the modern context, while always maintaining respect for all established schools.
3. Focus on Maqāṣid al-Sharī'ah
Our explanations are always viewed through the lens of the higher objectives of Islamic law (Maqāṣid al-Sharī'ah). This principle emphasizes the law's ultimate goals: preserving faith, life, intellect, progeny, and wealth. This framework helps readers understand the wisdom behind the law, not just the technical ruling.
4. Clarity and Accessibility
A core part of our mission is to explain complex legal terminology (like wājib, ḥarām, makrūh, mubāḥ) in simple, friendly language. We translate academic discourse into practical, easy-to-digest information suitable for all ages and backgrounds in the USA and globally.
📚 Core Sources of Islamic Law (Uṣūl al-Fiqh)
All rulings and explanations published on Islam Love Peace are derived from and cross-referenced against the universally accepted foundational sources of Islamic jurisprudence:
1. The Holy Qur'an
The primary source of Islamic law, comprising the direct revelation from God (Allah). We reference established and authoritative interpretations (Tafsīr) to accurately derive legal rulings.
2. The Sunnah (Prophetic Tradition)
The way of the Prophet Muhammad, consisting of his sayings, actions, and tacit approvals. The Sunnah is primarily compiled in rigorously authenticated collections of Ḥadīth. We rely only on collections widely recognized as authentic.
3. Ijmā' (Scholarly Consensus)
The consensus of the Muslim scholars on a specific legal matter after the Prophet's passing. Consensus, when verified, is a strong source of authority, signifying broad acceptance of a ruling.
4. Qiyās (Analogical Reasoning)
A method used by jurists to derive a ruling for a new issue (which has no direct ruling in the Qur'an or Sunnah) by drawing an analogy from a similar issue that does have a ruling. This principle ensures the law remains dynamic and applicable across time and space.
Scholarly References
In addition to the primary sources, our author, Akhmad Syafiuddin (a graduate of Al-Azhar University), utilizes key classical and contemporary reference works from respected scholars, ensuring our content is grounded in traditional Islamic learning.
