[quote]Sorry for keep u waiting for a long time. here r my responses to your 1st post one by one:

1. Kindly explain in a bit more detail how Sunnah does not entail the interpretation of the Quran?
A) As Sunnah is the practical part of the religion, therefore it cannot entail the interpretation of the Quran. Pl concentrate on the Defination of Sunnah &amp; the principles for determing it once again more carefully once again.

2. Why is there no mention of the Living Sunnah which to me means &quot;The Ijtehad and Ijma&quot; on matters of Jurisprudence and other sciences in the course?
A) Well, u r mixing many things here. pl note that Sources of religion are only two; the Holy Quran  &amp; the Sunnah of Holy Prophet PBUH. That's where we find the God-Given Laws that are entititled as His unchanged Shari'ah.
Ijma' &amp; Twatur is the process thru which we've rcvd this Shari'ah via transmission of Quran &amp; Sunnah.
Ijtihad is done in those matters where guidence of Sharia is either not present or not sufficient.

3.Can only the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) formulate the Sunnah and no one else? What about the four schools of thought or the present scholars or any scholars that have come in the last 1400 years?
A) Sunnah is formulated by Prophets only. The present Sunnah's origin is Prophet Ibrahim PBUH. But for us Sunnah or Deen is only that thing that our beloved &amp; last Prophet muhammad PBUH has declared or confirmed as Sunnah &amp; Deen.
The work of all Scholars of Past, Present &amp; Future has the status of a personal opinion based on their understandings of the Quran &amp; Sunnah or their Ijtihads. These works are very important for us. Every time we'll see any part of their great work, we'll accept or reject it on the basis of reasoning. We'll see on what grounds they've said what. If that will be acceprtable for anyone he/she will take it otherwise will leave it. There is no harm in taking one opinion of one scholar &amp; the other from 2nd &amp; another from 3rd &amp; so on so forth unless the criteria is the reasoning based on Quran &amp; Sunnah.

4.Does the Sunnah explained by the course not include the current Ijtehad and Ijma which the reformist student would think formulates new laws according to new issues of society or reformulation of old laws that are irrelevant?
A) yes it doesn't include that &amp; I'm sure that its reason would have been understood from my above explanation.

5. If you don''t mind can I keep asking more questions on the subject in this forum?
A) yes of course but pl keep two things in the ming regarding that: (i) Pl ask one Q at a time &amp; (ii) Pl sjow some patience too for the Answer.

Thanks &amp; regards[/quote]
