Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Logic For Islamic Rules Do We Have the Right To Ask About the Logic Behind Islamic Laws? Now we discuss the most important topics about Islamic laws, its rules and regulations and their philosophy and most of the questions and answers are based on this. Why should we pray Prayers is the question every person asks himself? Why should a person go for the pilgrimage of 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. 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 the groups are right. We have this right to ask and we also do not have this right. We mean that while 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 Quran, Holy Prophet (a.s.) and the traditions of Holy Imams (a.s.) and from the sayings of their companions 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 Quran 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, this introduces Allah in this way: He is such an existence, which has infinite knowledge and wisdom and He is independent from 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, their effect and their philosophy, which naturally have great influence on our life.
