Studying Religious Jurisprudence

Studying Religious Jurisprudence:
Studying Religious jurisprudence is the way to worship Allah, the Exalted. Muslims can preserve the Islamic Law with it. Rather, the Muslim Religion depends on the Muslim jurists who know its rule and defend it. From here al- Sadiq, peace be on him said many traditions on religious
jurisprudence we have mentioned some of them before. Here we will add other traditions. He, peace be on him, said:” Whoever worships (Allah) without understanding (the religion) is like him who walks after the mirage in a desert- the speed of his walking increases him nothing but distance.” Also he said:” Whoeverbrof our companions does not study religious jurisprudence, then does not do any good deed.” Also he said:” People are not able to act till they ask and understand (the religion).”[1] He, peace be on him, said:” If Allah wants a servant to do good makes him understand the religion.” Also he said:” All perfection is in understanding the religion, patience during the misfortune, and appreciating the living.”[2]
As religious j\urisprudence plays an important role in the Muslim religion, he, peace be on him, said:” The death of the religious jurist is more desirable with (the Satan) than the death of any other believer.” Also he said:” When the believing jurist dies he makes in Islam a gap which ncthing fills.”[3]
