THE FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS INDICATED BY THE VERSE OF THE QIBLAH.

Abstract

     This study focuses on the verse of Qiblah mentioned in Surah Al-Baqarah and the fundamental issues derived from it that demonstrate the everlasting miracle of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). One of the unique features of the Qur'an is that its miracles are not diminished by repetition. The study also highlights the full manifestation of the miraculous nature of the Quran by presenting various fundamental questions derived from a single verse. It examines the methodology of deriving these issues from the verse and how they can be used for legal reasoning. This research falls within the scope of examining the Noble Quran, contemplating its verses, and using them for legal deduction. The study categorises these issues into matters related to "ijtihad" (personal effort), such as the permissibility of the Prophet's ijtihad, the permissibility of determining the qiblah without visual confirmation, and the permissibility of acting on the basis of conjecture. It also includes issues related to "naskh" (abrogation), such as the permissibility of naskh abrogation, instances of abrogation in the Quran, abrogation of exemption, the requirement of substitution in abrogation, equal abrogation, naskh abrogation of rulings even without explicit notification, and the issue that the nasikh abrogator does not necessarily have to come after the abrogated in the recitation.
