All my thanks are due to Allah who enabled me to write this

book, and may peace be upon all messengers of Allah. Among the

common mistakes is that some people criticize the

Divine law depending, only on the limited mental abilities of

the humans in sensing things and comprehending them. Our means

of hearing, seeing, smelling are so limited. Even with the use of

technological extensions we are still short of recognizing countless

things that we live with or among.

Therefore, it is necessary to make use of two kinds of methods

of authentication: textual and logical. The textual method depends

primarily on the authenticity of the chains of narrators. In the case

of the Holy Quraan and the Prophetic Traditions, the chain begins

from the Prophet (pbuh) down to the person who put it in writing.

Meanwhile, the logical methodology depends primarily on our

human senses and reasoning faculty.

When the information concerned is related to the Divine Will and

commands, there is no alternative to the textual methodology. This

is so because our human comprehension and reasoning fall short of

passing judgment on Divine knowledge. For example, by reviewing

the slow and tedious development of human discovery of the laws

of nature that have existed since the creation of the universe, we will

realize how limited our knowledge is. There are still endless things

to be discovered by our limited tools and resources.

Still among the other common mistakes is criticizing a part of

a system neglecting the other parts. This mistake becomes more

serious when it concerns the Divine law.

An example of this is when some researchers discuss parts of an

Islamic law stripped of their natural context, disregarding the other

complementary parts. Those people are similar to a person who wonders
