Allama Syed Ahmad Saeed Kazmi's Method of Research in Understanding the sayings of the Holy Prophet (A Special Study in the light of Kazmi's Articles)

Abstract

Allah (عزّوجل) sent the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) as a guide and leader, granting him the final revelation, the Holy Quran. The Prophet's sayings and traditions serve as a practical exegesis of the Quran, offering comprehensive insights. Scholars across eras have consistently turned to these hadiths for solutions to Shariah issues. To address the contemporary challenges faced by the Muslim Ummah, it is essential to consult the Four Principles of Muslim Jurisprudence: the Quran, the Sunnah, Ijma-e-Ummah, and Qiyas-e-Shariah. These principles have historically provided guidance for both fundamental and jurisprudential matters. Islamic scholars have safeguarded the creeds and sought solutions to legal issues based on these principles. The Quran and Hadiths underpin all arguments, and Islamic jurists will continue to derive reasoning from the Hadiths until the Day of Judgment. Allama Syed Ahmad Saeed Kazmi Amruhi, a distinguished 20th-century scholar, was renowned for his deep knowledge and ability to elucidate issues clearly to both religious scholars and philosophers. His unparalleled expertise in Hadiths and rigorous analysis set him apart. This research paper examines Allama Kazmi's interpretations of the Prophet's sayings as presented in his writings, evaluating their strengths and weaknesses.
