.Also, the narrations differ greatly; they have become pronouncements which contradict one another body {font-family:'Thorndale AMT',serif;font-size:12.0pt} Also, the narrations differ greatly; they have become pronouncements which contradict one another.SECOND PRINCIPLE: There are various levels in the matters of Islam. If one requires certain proof, for another the prevailing opinion is sufficient. Others require merely assent and acceptance and not to be rejected. In which case, secondary matters or particular events in time which are not among the bases of belief do not require certain compliance and definite proof, just not to be rejected and to be submitted to, and not to be interfered with.THIRD PRINCIPLE: In the time of the Companions of the Prophet (PBUH) most of the Jewish and Christian scholars entered Islam, and their former knowledge became Muslim along with them.
