Far from being a strict penal code the Shariah is a humane, compassionate and benevolent system of laws that guides Muslims, based on the Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad. This simple introduction seeks to look behind the sensational headlines and explore the Shariah's sources, objectives and modern application.
The Shariah is one of the most misunderstood and maligned Islamic terms in the West. The word conjures up images of uncivilised Muslims whipping criminals, stoning adulterers and confining women within their homes in the minds of many people.
Yet, Shariah literally means a way or a path and, more specifically, the way to a watering place. Far from being a strict penal code it is a humane, compassionate and benevolent system of laws that guides Muslims, based on the Qur'an, the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad, and the interpretation of religious scholars.
This book is a simple and concise guide to the Shariah (Islamic law) to explain its meaning, scope and operation in practical life, as well as helping readers understand and appreciate its value and necessity in the believer's life.
