What is the meaning of the statement that Islam is the only religion that brought legislation, unlike other heavenly religions which brought acts of worship and spiritualities?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The statement indicates that previous religious laws — unlike Islam — were limited to acts of worship and the relationship with God, and lacked economic, social, and punitive legislations. This is incorrect, for Allah's saying: "To each of you We prescribed a law and a method" and the inclusion of rulings in the Torah such as retribution (Qisas) and stoning (Rajm), refute this claim. While the Gospel contained few rulings, Christians relied on the Torah for many of their rulings, which demonstrates that the Torah included legislations.
