The unifying idea
This axis focuses on the fact that prohibition is, in its origin, divine and limited, while human law remains a field for regulation and ijtihad. In this way, no prohibitions are added from outside revelation, and the Qur’anic formulations are not conflated with one another.
The theses included in the axis
- God’s sovereignty means that prohibition is confined to revelation and that humans are barred from adding prohibitions
- Qur’anic prohibitions are fixed, while prohibition by injunction is left to human ijtihad
- Wine and gambling are forbidden by injunction, not prohibited, because prohibition in revelation is exclusive
- Honor toward parents is an innate value, and punishment for violating it is subject to the legal limits
The axis’s support from the atoms
- Sovereignty belongs to God alone
- Human legislation does not add prohibitions
- Qur’anic prohibitions are fixed and limited
- Prohibition by injunction is not the same as prohibition
- Wine and gambling are forbidden by injunction, not prohibited
- Prohibition is a purely divine right
- Honor toward parents is an innate value
- Disobedience toward parents carries no legal limit
The reading method
This axis draws a clear line between what is divine and what is regulatory. Its rulings are therefore read as a delimitation of legislative authority, not an expansion of it.
