The Islamic culture are the disciplines the study of which is occasioned by the Islamic ‘aqīdah (creed), whether these disciplines included the Islamic ‘aqīdah and what guarantees its purity such as theology (ilm al-Tawheed) or they are based on the Islamic ‘aqīdah such as fiqh (jurisprudence), tafsīr and hadīth or whatever became necessary for the comprehension of rules emanating from the Islamic ‘aqīdah such as the sciences of the Arabic language, terminological classification of hadīth (mustalah al-hadīth) and science of the foundations of jurisprudence (‘ilm al-usul).

All of the Islamic culture is referable to the Qur’ān and Sunnah. And it is from them and through their comprehension and according to them that all the branches of the Islamic culture have been acquired. They (the Quran and Sunnah) are also from the Islamic culture because the Islamic ‘aqīdah obliges the adoption and adherence to whatever has been mentioned in them. The Qur’ān was revealed to the Messenger  so that he clarified it to the people. Allah  said:

And He  ordered the Muslims to take whatever the Messenger  brought. He  said:

Adopting whatever the Messenger PBUH has brought cannot be possible without comprehending and learning it. Owing to the presence of disciplines which were required to understand the Quran and Sunnah many types of Islamic disciplines arose and the Islamic culture came to have a specific meaning which included: the Quran, Sunnah, Arabic language, conjugation (sarf), grammar, rhetoric (balaagha), tafsīr, hadīth, classification of hadīth, foundations of jurisprudence (usul), theology (tawheed) and other Islamic culture disciplines
