قرآن مجید کے قصص انبیاءؑ سے فقہی احکام کا استنباط

Abstract

This research article explores the derivation of jurisprudential rulings from the Qur’anic narratives of the prophets, arguing that these stories are not merely historical accounts or moral parables but contain implicit legal principles that can guide Islamic legislation. While traditional Islamic jurisprudence primarily relies on clear Qur’anic verses and prophetic traditions, the stories of the prophets offer a rich yet underutilized source for extracting legal maxims. This study adopts a deductive and analytical methodology, examining specific prophetic narratives including those of Hazrat Adam(AS), Hazrat Nuh(AS), Hazrat Ibrahim(AS), Hazrat Lut(AS), Hazrat Shuayb(AS), Hazrat Musa(AS), Hazrat Dawud(AS), Hazrat Sulayman(AS) and Hazrat Yusuf(AS) peace be upon them all. The research identifies legal rulings pertaining to the sanctity of human life, contractual obligations, penal laws such as amputation for theft, the legal status of previous scriptures, gender interaction rules, judicial evidence standards, and property rights. The findings demonstrate that prophetic stories establish foundational legal principles such as justice, consultation, evidence based judgment, and the removal of harm. These principles transcend their specific historical contexts and offer timeless guidance. The study emphasizes that deriving rulings from these narratives requires careful attention to contextual details, the distinction between prophetic actions that are legislative and those that are merely customary, and the avoidance of superficial analogies. By integrating story based jurisprudence into mainstream legal theory, Islamic law can address contemporary challenges with greater flexibility and authenticity. This humanized approach bridges narrative theology and positive law, reaffirming that every element of the Holy Qur’an serves a legislative purpose. The research concludes that prophetic stories constitute a supplementary source of Islamic jurisprudence that deserves systematic development in modern legal scholarship.
