Jurisprudence and its impact on the convergence between Islamic sects

Abstract

The mercy of God Almighty is shown in the presence of many imams, who explain to people the prophet Mohammed’s traditions and Islamic traditions. As a result, schools of Jurisprudence with their various methods were established and sects with different ways appeared; however, all of them agree that legislation come from one God with revelation as its source and the prophet Mohammad (PBUH) as its only communicator. This religious endeavor and its schools of Jurisprudence with their multiple approaches and visions left us a mature doctrinal wealth and scholars the nation should be proud of. Therefore, it should be a cause for Islamic convergence rather than Islamic divergence, and this can only be achieved if the whole nation becomes aware of the existing different sects and various schools of Jurisprudence.
