Make it simple deen for muslims specific
and religious or mazhab for everyone
Q?how
deen make us different from others mazhab.
its my opinion may be anyone not agree with me.
if i am wrong correct me.

mazhab is sub part of deen...
All other than ummat muhammadi s.a.w.w
Were guided to some specific aspects of life ,not each element of life,,this specific guidence is called mazhab .....
But deen covers all fields of life like islam.
So deen is for muslims and mazhab for all others ...

MAZHAB only includes worshiping god. Mazhab is not law neither has it anything to do with the affairs of a state.

DEEN is a set of 'Ibadah' and rules & regulations for leading a balanced life both inside and outside the walls of place of worship. Deen is absolute and supreme law for an individual as well as for a state.

Deen is term used to refer either to the path of islam , followed by muslims, in order TO abide by sharia ( divine mazhab), for submission to the will of God.

or it may refer to the day of judgment on which all the people & jins will be raised again ,after death, & will be judged ,directly ,for their acts ,they committed in this world, by God according to his law .i.e sharia.


Mazhab has been well defined in the above posts.

Anyone please suggest a book of Ilamiat, which should cover the topics like Deen vs mazhab and Ijtehad etc. i have already two books but don't have these topics in it.

Kind Regards

Oh Lord people here cant differentiate Deen and Mazhab :p

Deen encompasses only faith I.e relationship between Man and God

Mazhab encompasses whole life be it political economic social or religious


So there is only on Mazhab on this earth namely Islam

please correct the abOVE MENTIONED word i think you have mistakenly added i in the word.

Dear Usman :
I am sorry but either you've intentionally or unintentionally stated the wrong concept here. Its the other way round. Mazhab is one part of Deen

Mazhab
Mazhab is limited to and deals with the faith and rituals of an individual. It binds together the 'Devotee' (Worshipper) to his 'Devotion'(Allah / God).
ii) The frame of reference of Mazhab is limited to Huquq-ul-Allah
iii) The canvas of Mazhab is very narrow and limited to an individual

Deen
Deen is divine and dynamic combination of (a)Institution (b) practices (c) Believes (d) Social Order
OR in broader context Deen includes (a) Mazhab (b)Social Life (c) Relation with minority (d) Justice

ii) The frame of reference of Deen includes both (a) Huquq-ul-Allah (b) Huquq-ul-Ibad
iii)The canvas of Deen is broad.
iv)In Surah Kafiron the word Deen is used necessarily for 'Ibadaat'
v)In Surah Aale Imran the word Deen is used to mention Religion of Allah , mafhoom is (Religion (Deen) in the sight of Allah is Islam)
vi)In Surah Fatiha , it is used for the' Day of Judgment' and the Day of Judgment will be to carry out Justice for a small sin equivalent to the grain in size or a sin equivalent to mountains. So indirectly, we can say its used for 'Justice'
vii) In surah Al-Anfal verse 39 , the word Deen is used and its said that 'and fight them(Infidels) until there is no Fitna(mischief) and religion is all for Allah.
The word Deen is used in the above ayats and not Mazhab. So its Deen that is whole and not Mazhab. Mazhab is only one part of Deen.

Salams

Deen has four essential constituents :-
1-Ibaadat
2-Imaaniyaat
3-Ikhlaakiyaat
4-Muaamlaat (relation b/w humans etc)

But Mazhab has any two above constituents and never comprises of all four.

Thus, Islam is the only true Deen today as it addresses well these four aspects fully and truly.

1. The words "Deen" and "Mazhab" are not the terminology of the Quran & Sunnah. In the Quran, word "Deen" is used to describe as different meanings e.g. Religion, law of the land, reward etc. which is obviously taken from the Arabic vocabulary. For example:

إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفَى لَكُمْ الدِّينَ فَلا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلاَّ وَأَنْتُمْ مُسْلِمُونَ

"Surely, Allah has chosen the 'religion' for you. So you should not die unless you are submitting yourself to God."

لا إِكْرَاهَ فِي الدِّينِ

"There is no persecution in the religion."

إِنَّ الدِّينَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ الإِسْلامُ

"Surely, the religion in front of Allah is Islam."

مَا كَانَ لِيَأْخُذَ أَخَاهُ فِي دِينِ الْمَلِكِ

"It was not possible for him to keep his brother according to the law of the king."

مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ

"The Owner of the Day of Judgment."

The word "Mazhab" is not used in the Quran. In general sense, it is used as a synonym of "Deen" which means "religion". In Fiqh, it is used to describe the sense of "Point of View" in a disputed manner.

Recently, two scholars Dr. Israr Ahmed & Ghulam Ahmed Pervez have used these terms in different meanings. According to them, the word "Deen" is more general and includes the sense of a "System". Ancient scholars do not agree with them and use these terms synonymously.

2. In Quran & Hadith, the word Sunnah is used in its literal sense as "practical example".

فَقَدْ مَضَتْ سُنَّةُ الأَوَّلِينَ

"The example of earlier people has passed."

In terminology of religious studies, Sunnah means the practical example of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم which he instituted among his followers. It is available to us through the consensus practical perpetuation (Tawatur) of Sahaba Kiram.

Hadith is a general term used to describe any information about the sayings and practice of the Prophet. Information about Sunnah is also available to us through Hadith.

The same is the point of view of Hanafi and Maliki Schools of Thought. Imam Shafi'i also has the same view. But these scholars use different words to describe the Sunnah e.g. Sunnat Mutawatira, Sunnat Ma'loomah, Sunnat Thabitah, I'lm ul A'aam etc.

Scholars for certain schools of thought e.g. Hanbali, Ahl Hadith, Zahiri, and some Shafi'i use these both terms synonymously. While reading their books, it is essential to know that which scholar uses what term in what meaning.

If you want to study the discipline of Usul ul Fiqh in depth, you have to study in a systematic manner. Do not limit yourself only to a particular school of thought but study other schools of thought in detail on the "Principles of Understanding Islam". Also see the Kitaab ur Risala of Imam Shafi'i (d. 204H) in detail which is considered the first book in this discipline. I've translated that book. The relevant debate of Hadith & Sunnah is available on the following link but he has used different terms i.e. I'lm ul A'aam and I'lm ul Khas:
