مسلم امت کی ہم آہنگی میں مسالک اسلامیہ کے فقہی مشترکات کا کردار

Abstract

In early Islam, there was a strong unity, harmony, and entirety in the religious and secular matters of Muslims. However, with the passage of time, and especially with the development of different schools of thought, the differences slowly gave way to divisions and discord. However, there are numerous doctrinal and jurisprudential commonalities in different Islamic schools of thought which need to be put forth in a systematic form. This article attempts to locate such commonalities in various jurisprudential schools of thought with which Pakistani Muslims associate themselves. It is also argued in the article that bringing forth the commonalities among Muslims could lead to the existence of a tolerant and peaceful society.
