While, AlShareea`Ah that was revealed to
Muhammad, Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him,
accords, in general, with the human wisdom and common
sense, nevertheless the worshipping part is very great.
Worshipping rules, such as the times of prayers, number
of raka`at, the shape of the prayers in general, Zakat����
being a must for some types of profits, but not all, the
exact measure and amount of Zakat, and the proper way of
fasting. Pilgrimage procedures, as well, ranging from
circling the Kaa`ba, walking from AlSafa
to AlMarwa,and vice versa, kissing the Black Stone, standing or
waiting in A`rafat, spending the night in AlMozdalefa,
and stoning. All of those worshipping procedures are
meant to test the human beings’ loyalty and obedience to
their God and Creator, His Almighty.
Moreover, the aim of applying, and accepting the
application of religious punishments is, in itself
worshipping of Allah, His Almighty through accepting His
orders, and avoiding whatever He orders us to stay away
from. Also, abstaining from what Allah, His Almighty has
consecrated as forbidden, and practicing only what Allah,
His Almighty, has allowed is worshipping. Allah has
forbidden usury, but allowed trade. A merchant could earn
, while a usurer could make only . Yet the fact
remains, that trade is allowed, but usury is forbidden.
Another example is that a woman is ordered not to mourn
over a dead person for more than three days, regardless of
how dear or close that person is to her, such as her son, her
brother, or her father. However, she should mourn her
husband for four months and ten days.
There must be a higher wisdom and reason for
every divine order and consecration, which we could be
informed of, lead to, or be hidden from us. The human
being should listen and obey in all conditions. However, if
a person depends on his perception, understanding, and
knowledge of the purpose for any order, Then this person
cannot be a true worshiper of Allah. Moreover, if such a
person refuses a divine consecration, thinking that it is
illogical, unreasonable, and cannot be comprehended by
the human perception, then this person is an atheist and a
blasphemer. His blasphemy would be of Satan’s kind,
whose only crime was refusing a divine order due to
blasphemy, arrogance, and pride.
