Dear scholars, As-Salamu `alaykum! Can something be made fard (obligatory) or haram (prohibited) based only on hadiths, while there is no stress on or even mention of it in the Qur'an? For example, is it fard to pray two rakh`as for Fajr, four for Zuhr, etc. based on evidences from hadiths, though it is not stated in the Qur'an. Jazakum Allah khayran.

Could you please furnish me with the wisdom behind the prohibition of Riba? Your earliest response will be very much appreciated.

Dear scholars, as-salamu `alaykum wa ramatullahi wa barakatuh. I would be very glad if you kindly respond to this sensitive issue: It relates to the ongoing accusati ons levied by the west against Islam and the Shari`ah. In western modern culture Islam is presented as a particularly violent and cruel religion, its law is termed as barbaric. That’s why we hear many uproars being stirred nowadays by the western media against Islam. I would like you scholars to enlighten us on the significance of Islamic criminal justice, especially the aspect of punishment.
