Full-Length Text Kususanya Sala Mbili by Ayatullah Ja'far Subhani [Swahili] Views: 14178

Sheria ya Kiislamu ni ya kipekee kwa kuwa inahusika na kila jambo huku ikiweka utatuza wa matatizo yote yanayompata mwanadamu katika sekta zote za maisha yake, hivyo Mwenyezi Mungu akasema:
“Leo nimewakamilisheni dini yenu na kuwatimizieni neema Yangu na nimewapendeleeni Uislamu uwe dini yenu.” (5:3)

Isipokuwa kuna masuala madogo madogo ambayo wanazuoni wa sheria wamehitilafiana kwa sababu ya kutofautiana kwao kuhusu riwaya ambazo zimenasibishwa kwa Mtume. Jambo ambalo limesababisha kutofautiana kuhusu masuala madodo madogo ya sheria.

Kwa kuwa ukweli hutokana na utafiti basi hakika katika mtiririko wa masomo haya mwandishi amejaribu kuliweka suala hili juu ya meza ya utafiti, kwani huenda ikawa ndio njia ya kuunganisha mtazamo na kusogeza hatua katika uwanjaa huu. Kwani tofauti iliyopo si katika asili na msingi ya dini hata isababishe kuwa na uadui na chuki, bali tofauti iliyopo ni kuhusu riwaya zilizonasabishwa na Mtume, nalo ni jambo dogo ukilinganisha na mambo mengi ambayo tunaafikiana kati ya madhehebu za Kiislamu. Na mwngozo wetu katika njia hii ni kauli ya Mwenyezi Mungu:
“Na shikamaneni katika kamba ya Mwenyezi Mungu nyote wala msifarakiane. Na kumbukeni neema ya Mwenyezi Mungu iliyo juu yenu, mlipokuwa maadui na akaziunganisha nyoyo zenu, hivyo kwa neema Zake mkawa ndugu.” (3:103)
