al-Taj al-Subki tells us that a qa'idah fiqhiyyah (juristic maxim) is a universal [concept] that applies to manifold particular cases; and according to which the rulings of those particulars can be known. Examples of which are: "Certainty is not dispelled by doubt," "repelling harm is more important than securing benefit," or "the scope of a situation, if straitened, is widened".
A maxim therefore, illustrates a broad (universal) meaning that is common throughout all of the individual cases (particulars) that subsume under its universal heading. The overarching maxim threads this special meaning through all of the individual cases that are encompassed by it. This "special meaning" is very often an indicator of the ratio legis (or rationale = illah) of the legal judgment for the particular case. These rationales that are embedded in the particular cases denote higher purposes with which Islam is ultimately concerned.
We can look for those meanings in new phenomena as we encounter them and the maxims can often give us guidance on what directions to take in these new situations.
In this program we will learn about the field of Universal Juristic Maxims as a subfield of Islamic Jurisprudence; we will gain insight into an intriguing dimension of Islamic Legal Theory; we will also learn more about how these principles form an essential facet of our authentic Islamic world view.

Take Care of Yourself NBIC July 20, 2007
O You who Believe, take care of yourself, the one who goes astray cannot harm you if you are on guidance. You shall return to God and He will inform you of your deeds (5:105)
The process of change begins first from within. The stories of Khalifa Omar and Hanzala (r) clearly show this attribute in the first community of believers.
