Dhana iliyoenea inayopitishwa kwa Ummah ya Kiislamu ni dhana ya Tadarruj au 'Gradualism' (mbinu ya utekelezaji wa taratibu). Mbinu hii inafuata mantiki kwamba Uislamu ni Dini kubwa sana, na haiwezekani kuutekeleza Uislamu kwa mabadiliko ya ghafla. Kwa hiyo, ni lazima kutafuta kutekeleza hukumu za Shari'ah kwa taratibu, na jambo hilo litafanyika kwa muda mrefu, likirejesha Uislamu hatua kwa hatua katika maisha ya Waislamu. Mchakato huu kwa kawaida hutokea kupitia kugawana madaraka na serikali iliyopo, na kwa kufanya kazi ndani ya mfumo uliopo.

A widespread concept that is passed to the Islamic Ummah is the concept of the Tadarruj or ‘Gradualism’. This ‘methodology’ follows the logic that Islam is a Deen that is massive and it is impossible to radically implement Islam. Therefore one must seek to gradually implement the Shari’ah rules and this will take place over a long period of time gradually bringing Islam back to the life of the Muslims. This process would normally occur through sharing power with the existing government and through working within the system.

Baada ya hapo, hoja fulani hutolewa kama uthibitisho wa mtazamo huu, kama vile kauli ya kwamba 'Qur'ani ilishushwa kwa awamu, na matatizo yalipojitokeza Qur'ani ilishughulikia kwa namna hiyo'. Kinachotajwa kama mfano wa mfumo huu wa taratibu ni ukweli kwamba Allah (SWT) alikataza pombe kwa hatua tatu.
