There may be some truth in this, although it needs to be added that the philosophers were most probably too enamoured of their metaphysical heights to condescend to climb down to ethics. Yet, if only they had made the very assumptions of the Shariah-law itself an object of serious study and thought, they might have come out with quite a different philosophy and the orthodoxy might have in turn been the richer for it instead of starving itself intellectually and ultimately spiritually by a one-sided unthinking attack on philosophy.
Imekuwa sawa kuuelekeza msemo wa kuua kwa Mayahudi wa Madina pamoja na kuwa walioua ni mababu zao. Hiyo ni kwa sababu umma wao ni mmoja kwa kushiriki kuridhia kuua. WALIOFANANA NA MAYAHUDI Mayahudi walimkataa Muhammad (s.a.w.), kwa sababu alikuwa si Mwisrail; Naye Abu Sufian alimkanusha na kuongoza jeshi kumpinga kwa sababu Mtume ni katika ukoo wa Hashim. Alikataa kwa sababu ukoo wa Hashim utapata utukufu wa Utume kuliko ukoo wake yeye Abu Sufiani wa Umayya.
