Osul rules derived from Surat Al-Baqarah through the book (Al- Isharat Al-Ilahya ilal qawaed Al-osulya) by Sheikh Najm Al-Din Al-Tufi (d. 716 AH)

Abstract

There is no doubt that the Holy Qur'an is the first source of Islam in the field of doctrine and Shari'ah. Since the Qur'an contains the characteristics of summarizing and explaining the main and general issues and does not go into the details and sub-sub-subjects, scholars have tried to take these general rules and principles from its holy verses and make them general rules for sub-subjects and details. Of course, this is of special importance both in terms of appearance and purpose.

In fact, there are few scholars who have a special appointment in the field of deriving general laws and principles from the verses of the Holy Qur'an. Therefore, (Imam Najmuddin Tufi) is considered to be one of the leading and rare scholars who have their own books in this field.

Because of the importance of his unique book (Al- Isharat Al-Ilahya ilal qawaed Al-osulya) we thought it appropriate to highlight the most important principles that Imam (Tofi) in this book, especially in Surah (Al-Baqarah). These are five important principles that become the general basis for a number of jurisprudence issues and have an impact on Shari'ah rules.

We have divided the research into two parts: Part First: Introduction to Imam Tofi and his book (Al- Isharat Al-ILahya). The second part is devoted to explaining the five principles that Imam Tofi has taken from the verses of Surah Al-Baqarah. We have tried to present all the topics as briefly and clearly as possible.
