Going back to the roots of religion takes us back to how the laws were developed. When we understand that we are guided to the physical aspects of man and health. Knowing about the father of man Adam (as) helps us understand our nature as well as the nature of our bodies. It does not end there but if we continue into the second, third, fourth prophet (as) we begin to see a pattern developing for where the focus of attention lay in their communication with Allah and the development of ....agriculture, food and the development of skills. There is one interesting thing that comes up in this study, and that is the reality of inheritence. What is inheritence according to Allah and how is it determined. We see very clear proofs of it in the determination of our Imams (as), but the interesting thing is that what comes up when we go back and study the inheritence of the successors of the prophets we come to realize and we are actually told that inheritance is governed the same way on a divine level in the whole of humanity and yes, that means our families too.
Many of us no doubt have an interest in the law of religion probably because we are by nature attracted to anything that is precise and logical. Perhaps we are not interested in its study because it is such a tedious task in the conventional way that it has been studyied whether considering Islamic or secular law. Perhaps there is truely a very simple way to understand it that does not require memorizatio but instead by following man's journey through the ages and Allah's guidance in the face of that journey.
I wonder at this point how anyone can study the a laws of religion and not go back to the roots.
