Hence this article intends to elucidate the concept of performing al-Ictisam to the Qur’an and the Sunnah according to the authoritative methodology of Islamic knowledge. The concept of al-Ictisam to the Qur’an and the Sunnah should be observed from the aspects of faith, study, understanding, practice, appreciation as well as Islamic call (da’wah).
