The Shi’i legal system, which is one of the two major divisions of Islamic law, is a developed integrated system with a long continuous tradition of innovation.   As the system has always been open to new  ideas,  and as criticism and original contributions  were  welcome and encouraged,  it grew into and  continues  to  grow  as a  developed,  thriving body  of legal thought. Many  Shi’i  jurists  in the past  were at the  same time outstanding philosophers, and through them many  elements from Islamic logic and philosophy  were  introduced  into,  and  discussed  in,  Shi'i law  and  jurisprudence. This process  resulted,  on the one  hand,  in the appearance  of  new  and highly  meticulous  legal analyses  in  Shi’i  law  and  jurisprudence,   and contributed,  on the other hand,  to the  development  of  Islamic logic and philosophy. Shi’i legal works, and in particular those of the last two centuries are, therefore,  of  significant value not only for their legal analyses but also for their evaluation and criticism of certain traditional points of view in logic and philosophy as studied in the Islamic world.

An Introduction to Shi'i Law

A Day in The Life of Muhammad - A Study in The Prophet's Daily Programme Here is the city of palm dates and lively hearts; here lives his heart. It is his place, his city, his people. It is the city in which everything came alight when he arrived. Its people and its very nature loved him. Here is Mount Uhud with which he had a relation of mutual love. These narrow alleyways will recognize his footsteps. Here will be his mosque and adjacent to it will be his small rooms. But here in the mosque will also gather a great band of men, eager to follow him and do his bidding. With them he will have a pure relation of mutual love. He is always with them; but his special relation is with God We will look at Prophet Muhammad's management of his day, hour by hour, to gain an insight into the simplicity of his great life, the spontaneity of his serious life, the perfect balance between his activities and the fulfillment of complementary needs.
