ISLAMIC LAW
Islamic law - the code of law derived from the Koran and from the teachings. Islamic civilization, since the time of Prophet Muhammad (s) until now, is firmly founded on the concept of ‘rule of law.’ For that reason, the law is published and known, and citizens and courts are expected to uphold it. In addition, Muslim citizens must adhere to Islamic law - Shariah.
OBJECTIVE OF ISLAMIC LAW
o Establishment of justice;
o Educating the individual;
o Upholding morality, in public and private;
o Preventing hardship, on individuals and society;
o Preventing oppression.
SHARI'AH'S SOURCE
- Quran
The Qur’ān contains broad, general rules that are immutable, not unlike societal rules of today: the sanctity of life, security and freedom of expression, and the inviolability of these rights. The adaptation of law according to time and circumstance was necessitated by changes in society, and the influx of various cultures and material conditions. Islam first came to one people with one lifestyle. As the religion spread and the borders of Muslim lands expanded, all of the different civilizations, each with their own codes of law, traditions and cultures, had to be incorporated into the Islamic polity. This was not achieved overnight and took great foresight on the part of Muslim jurists. This is most elegantly displayed in the development of the law.
