[4] {November-05} (a) [Give up to 3 marks for each description.] • The Qur’an is the major source of instruction and thinking. • Its clear teachings are never questioned. • It is always referred to since no legal teaching ever contradicts it. • The Sunna of the Prophet is an authority next to the Qur’an. • It gives fuller teachings of what the Qur’an states in brief. • It and the Qur’an always agree. • It is taken as an authority where the Qur’an is silent. • The consensus of the community, ijma’, is referred to when the previous sources do not offer clear guidance. • It is understood as the agreement of believers on a point of faith or action. • Some take it as the consensus of the first generation of Muslims, others as the consensus of legal experts. • It never disagrees with the previous sources. • The Prophet said, ‘My community will never agree on error.’ • Analogy, qiyas, is employed when the previous sources do not offer clear guidance. • It involves an individual expert making a new decision on the basis of known teachings. • He compares the unknown with the known and identifies the common points between them.

  • Marriage to Umm Habiba Tension in Mecca Had Reached Its Peak
    limited the number of women a man could marry - the customary practice in pre-Islamic Arabia - and encouraged monogamy, allowed for God’s Messenger to marry several women in order for him to reach all his addressees in their entirety within as short a time as twenty-three years. The Messenger of God made use of this means in loosening such closely knit ties at a time when all the doors on which he knocked were slammed shut in his face. Moreover, it is not possible to suppose that the marriages of God’s Messenger, who stated, “God has assuredly willed that I marry only those who are of Paradise,”339 and who took his each and every step in line with the Divine injunctions, could be realized except by God's permission. Within this context, he states: “Each of my marriages and those of my daughters was conducted as a result of Divine permission conveyed to me through Gabriel.”340 In this way was he able to come together, on the basis of kinship, with those people who were not capable of being approached, and it was in these assemblies that the hearts of those who were consumed with hatred and enmity were softened. The marriages of God’s Messenger functioned as a bridge in his communication with them, and served to relax the atmosphere as well as legitimize his steps in their regard. He extended hospitality towards them, invited them to his wedding feasts using his marriages as a means to come together, and sent them gifts, drawing attention to their affinity.
