Ijtehad O Taqleed per aiterazaat ka Tajzia
The book “Ijtehad o Taqleed p Aiterazaat Ka Tajzia” by Paygham-e-Wehdat critically examines objections raised against ijtihad (scholarly reasoning in Islamic jurisprudence) and taqleed (following a qualified scholar) from various perspectives. It analyzes arguments of critics who claim that taqleed stifles independent thinking or that the era for ijtihad has ended. The author assesses theological, legal, and historical evidence: Qur’anic verses, prophetic traditions, actions of the companions and early jurists. It also explores how Islamic scholarship has navigated the balance between following tradition and allowing reasoned derivation of rulings. Concluding, it asserts the legitimacy of both practices, arguing that proper taqleed and ijtihad complement each other in preserving Islamic law and guiding believers.
