Beyond this restriction of fiqh in Traditional Islam, muslims have to explore them through creative ideas by using reasoning as per the critical requirement of this modern age. It also covers the detailed discussion on Muslims, who are are not playing their significant role in the development of science & technology, in order to conclude the result i.e. the ignorance of Ijtihād by to intellectuals, scholars and learned persons.
