Islamic methodology refers to the methods used by early Muslim scholars to study religious and scientific subjects based on a combination of revelation and reason. Some key methods included: 1. Collecting and verifying data from the Quran and hadith through reliable narrators and continuous chains of transmission. 2. Consulting scholars and reaching consensus on issues. 3. Using supplementary methods like istihsan (juristic preference), masalih mursalah (public interest), and urf (custom) when direct religious texts did not provide guidance. 4. The traditional Islamic approach was rigorous and holistic, integrating empirical and revealed knowledge, and scholars pursued it with sincerity and commitment to serve humanity
