NECESSITY OF FIQH PART - 1

The Holy Quran is the epitome of eloquence. In spite of being easy to understand, most of the subjects dealt with in the Holy Quran are such that understanding the rules that can be deduced from them is not easy. The reason is that

The Holy Quran and the Traditions describe the necessity and importance of Fiqh. Allah SWT says in the Holy Quran, (Surah Taubah- 122).

There is another verse in Surah Baqara- The one who has been granted wisdom (Fiqh), has in reality been given a great ni’mah.
 
There is a Hadith in Sahih Bukhari. Whosoever, Allah SWT wants to bless, He grants him understanding of religion and there is nothing except that I distribute and Allah SWT grants.
 
Shaykh Ul Islam Imam Muhammad Anwarullah Farooqui mentions a Tradition in Haqiqatul Fiqh, on the authority of Jame Us Sagheer, that the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said, “Every thing has its mainstay, and the mainstay of this religion is Fiqh (Jurisprudence) one Faqih (Jurisprudent) is harder on Satan than a 1000 worshippers (A’abid).

Following the rules, which have been formulated by the Jurisprudents and the Legislators (Mujtahidin), is to follow the Holy Quran and the Hadith itself. When anyone assumes these rules, he/she is said to be following these personalities (Taqlid) and this Taqlid is to follow the Holy Quran and the Hadith and this following means that these personalities have extracted rules from the Holy Quran and the Hadith, even though we may not know the basis of such extraction. To know the basis of such extraction is not even necessary.
