[quote]ijtehad was not closed on a [b]single order [/b] by a [b]single authority....[/b] when we say, by 4th century ijtehad was generally closed, it means that slowly and gradually, with the passage of time, it was almost not practised after 4th century.... How we know that??? it is only by observation of history and different books of scholars of that time.... [b]two[/b] types of [b]authorities[/b] are always [b]behind[/b] the big [b]changes[/b] of a nation or civilizations.... [b]1)[/b] rulers...[b]2)[/b] scholars... [b]both from the 4th centuries became more conservative, strict and rigid[/b]. [b]Rulers[/b] usually were having lust of power and worldly gain.....but [b]scholars[/b] were of 2 types.... [b]1)[/b] some were sincere but they observed that general public was more [b]inclined[/b] to worldly gain ([b]please keep in your mind that Islam insists that your main purpose of this life is to get good life in heaven)[/b] .....so they became very [b]strict[/b] and did not allow anybody to interfere in islamic rulings and make fun of such rulings..... 2) other scholars were in same catogory of rulers meaning; to gain authority and worldly gain...... but it does not mean that no scholar had tried to ijtihad during that period...[b]ibn taimiya and ibn hazam [/b] were some examples..... but usually those rulers and non ijtihad scholars were so[b] powerful [/b] that such voices were not able to get any authority.... this still is going on...... present day scholars who want to change this attitude, are still not welcome in general public..... why God did not interfere.....??? I cannot say anything... May be this was part of God 's scheme to [b]test[/b] good and bad both kind of people in this way..... [b]there is one saying[/b]: when majority of common people [b]want to avoid the truth to get worldly gain[/b], their rulers and scholars are made by GOD same like them.... [b]this is my research[/b]...there is full chance that I am [b]may be [/b] wrong..... God know better[/quote]
