Abstract
Maulana Gohar Rahman, in his commentary, presents a detailed analysis on the prohibition of alcohol in light of verse 219 of Surah Al-Baqarah from the Holy Qur'an. In this verse, Allah responds to people's questions about alcohol and gambling, stating that while both contain some temporary benefits, their sin is far greater than their benefit. Maulana provides both the linguistic and technical definitions of the word "khamr" (alcohol). Linguistically, "khamr" means to cover or veil something, while in technical terms, it refers to any drink that causes intoxication. He cites multiple hadiths to explain this, including the saying of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him): "Every intoxicant is khamr, and every khamr is prohibited." According to Maulana Gohar Rahman, anything that intoxicates in large quantities is also prohibited in small amounts. The reasons for the prohibition of alcohol include its physical, mental, and spiritual harms, such as clouding one's judgment, causing enmity and hatred, and leading to neglect of worship. Similarly, gambling distances a person from hard work and distracts from the remembrance of Allah. Maulana also references the views of the four Imams (Imam Shafi'i, Imam Malik, Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal, and Imam Abu Hanifa), all of whom agree that any intoxicating drink, regardless of its source, is forbidden. However, Imam Abu Hanifa holds that while not all intoxicants are termed as "khamr," they are still considered haram.While acknowledging the temporary benefits of alcohol, Maulana explains that the harms far outweigh these benefits, which is why it has been declared haram by Islamic law.

Abstract
This research paper titled "A Critical Review of the Origins, Evolution, and Codification Stages of Legal Maxims in Islamic Jurisprudence" encompasses a comprehensive study of legal maxims as a distinct discipline with its own foundational texts and historical context. Legal maxims did not emerge through a few stages or discussions among individuals, akin to secular laws; rather, their formulation and codification are evolutionary. Since the early Islamic period, scholars and jurists have continuously engaged in interpreting the Qur'an and Sunnah to derive principles, rulings, and their underlying wisdom, articulating these insights in appropriate terms and phrases. Scholars of every era have contributed not only by compiling the general principles established by their predecessors but also by discovering new rules and regulations. Thus, over various periods, scholars have dedicated themselves to this field, resulting in an extensive repository of legal maxims that has evolved over more than a thousand years, ultimately achieving recognition as a distinct science. Accordingly, this article delves into the linguistic and terminological definitions of legal maxims, the distinction between a rule and a regulation, the benefits and classifications of legal maxims, their methodologies and approaches, the scope of their application, the stages of their inception and evolution, and a detailed discussion of the writings of the four Sunni schools of thought regarding these legal principles.

Abstract
A person’s actions reflects his thoughts and ideas. There is a mutual connection between his actions and beliefs. When he ponders and as a result, he becomes the owner of a single ideology and believes in a strong belief, then his practical manifestations appear on the basis of this belief. A link is established between his thoughts and actions. Similarly, when a Muslim believes in the Faith of Islam, he adopts his life under a practical system. In fact, faith is not accepted without good deeds and neither are good deeds accepted without faith. These two are inseparable from each other. The foundation of Islam has been laid on a few beliefs, which it is the duty of a Muslim to believe. Whereas Islam gives a code of conduct for its believers, which is necessary to follow for the fulfilment of faith. Now if due to some reasons it is not possible to perform righteous deeds then there is a disturbance in faith. Therefore it is necessary for him to harmonize his actions with the requirements of faith, so that his faith is acceptable to Allah and his actions are also in accordance with the pleasure of Allah almighty.

Abstract
Indeed, every command of Islam encompasses wisdom and expediency, aimed at improving various aspects of human life and ensuring success in both this world and the Hereafter. Each command is based on the infinite knowledge and wisdom of Allah and considers human nature, needs, and welfare . The wisdom in every Islamic command is for the betterment of humanity. When individuals act upon these commands, they achieve a complete, balanced, and successful life. The Treaty of Hudaybiyyah brought forth several significant benefits that highlight its greatness and wisdom in Islamic history. Although this treaty seemed stringent for Muslims and advantageous for the Quraysh, its outcomes were profoundly positive and far-reaching .
