This paper endeavors to explain the decline of Islam which is caused by stagnation of interpretation in its jurisprudence (fiqh), with no exertion in finding a new interpretation or understanding. To change the situation, we have to shift our paradigm to Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) and principles of jurisprudence (usul al- fiqh) perceptions with a new understanding. Hassan Hanafi has contributed an excellent thought to reconstruct the stagnancy of Muslim world in order to modernize its jurisprudence with his writing, “Min an-Nash ilā al-Wāqi’”. In his article, Hanafi presented an innovative methodology in understanding the fiqh through integration between ra’yu and wahyu.
