Abstract

The present research entitled ‘A Doctrinal Underpinning Investigation of the Prophetic Admonitory Behaviours between Theory and Practice’ discusses - by means of detailed explanation; analysis; and genesis - a segment of the Islamic jurisprudence that has a significant relation with the understanding of Quran and Sunah on the one hand, and the religious practical reality on the other. By ‘admonitory’ we mean: the entire Prophet’s (peace be upon him) behaviours, measures, and actions (his speech, acts or what he approved) that conducted to the best of life benefits. As both the legislation and actions emanate from the Prophet (peace be upon him), this study tries to distinguish precisely between what is religious and what is worldly, especially, in terms of instructions and prohibitions. This paper is organized in three chapters. The first chapter covers the definitions, nature and the norms ruling the prophetic admonitions, as well as the theoretical literature behind them and their link to the Islamic jurisprudence studies. Chapter two focuses on the admonitory instructions between theory and practice. It displays a researched relation between the research topic and the ordained judgments such as obligation, preferred actions and entitlements. The third chapter addresses the origins and implications of prohibitions. It demonstrates the relationship between admonitory; forbidding; and abhorrent prohibitions. The study concludes to some significant results, among which, admonition remains an important instruction/prohibition aid in the legislation resourcing that does not interfere with the ordained legislative judgments. Rather, they complete each other whatever the degree of instruction is. And the principal objective of admonition is the achievement of a purely worldly benefit, revealing the essence of jurisprudence admonition which is extremely rare. If it takes a worldly/religious aspect, it would rather fall under one of the five common judgments.
