The Right to Ask About the Logic Behind Islamic Laws - Al-Shia The Scientific and Cultural Website of Shia belief The Right to Ask About the Logic Behind Islamic Laws 2022-09-30 386 Views Islamic laws , Logic of Islamic laws , Rationale of Islamic laws Now we discuss the most important topics about Islamic laws, its rules and regulations and their philosophy and the questions such as “Why should we pray Prayers?”, “Why should a person go for the pilgrimage of the House of Allah?”, “Why it is forbidden to take interest in Islam?”, “What is the philosophy for prohibiting pork?”, “Why is polygamy allowed in Islam?”, “Why it is prohibited to eat in gold and silver utensils?” etc are some of the questions that might come to mind of every Muslim.

Some learned people and scholars have discussed about these in a beautiful way. From them, some have derived only one side of the question. Some think that we should not inquire about the logic behind the Islamic Laws and others think the opposite of this; that it is necessary to understand the logic behind the Islamic laws. Keeping in mind the views of these scholars, we present our views on the subject. You may be astonished that both groups are right.

We have this right to ask and we also don’t have this right. We mean that while the idea of each group is not accepted, but only the special part of it is accepted.

It can be explained in this way: From the holy Qur’an, Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a) and the traditions of Holy Imams (a.s) and from the sayings of the and friends, we come to know that there was always a tradition of discussing the philosophy of Islamic laws among themselves and it should also be like that because they were thinking that the holy Qur’an was an independent and logical way and they had given the right to themselves that they should discuss the Islamic laws in a logical way and ask questions about its philosophy.

According to the principles of Islam, which introduce Allah in this way: He is such an existence, which has infinite knowledge and wisdom and He is independent of all things and persons. All His acts are based on wisdom, whether we understand it or not. His acts never include any foolishness or meaninglessness and He has sent the Prophets for teaching, training and inviting the people towards truth and justice.

The introduction of Allah in such a way encourages us to question about the Islamic laws, its effect and its philosophy, which naturally have a great influence on our life.
