Contemporary Fatawa

Islam means to surrender absolutely to the Divine Will, as manifested and expressed in the Holy Qur'an and the Prophetic life model known as the Sunnah.
This absolute surrender to the Divine will in all possible lifeexperiences, and in all facts of life, is based on a fundamental premise Allah, whose essence and attributes are perfect, and who is the source of all good, represents absolute wisdom. Allah is therefore the supreme legislator. Allah (whose essence and attributes cannot be fully perceived by man)has prescribed through the Holy Qur'an and prophetic life-model ("Sunnah"), a comprehensive and all-encompassing code of life to enable man to recognize and perceive his creator, and to enable man to follow the Divine will.
