ABSTRACT

The philosophy of law, or jurisprudence, has continuously sparked the curiosity of academics and thinkers. The philosophy of law, or jurisprudence, has continuously sparked the curiosity of academics. The Hindu and Islamic schools are two of the most well-known classical schools of law. Hindu law places a strong emphasis on the significance of dharma, or moral responsibility, in establishing legal rules. Hindu law has its roots in the Vedas, the ancient sacred writings of Hinduism. Contrarily, Islamic jurisprudence is founded on the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad and the Quran and emphasises the ideas of shariah, or Islamic law, and Fiqh, or Islamic jurisprudence.

The fundamental ideas, origins, and applications of the Hindu and Islamic schools of law will be examined in this research study. We will explore the similarities and differences between these two classical schools of thought, and we will consider the implications of their respective philosophies for contemporary legal theory and practice. We believe that this research will help us better comprehend the rich history and varied viewpoints that have influenced how jurisprudence has evolved throughout different cultures and traditions.

Keywords: Hinduism, Vedas, Dharma, Quran, Fiqh, Jurisprudence
