About this book
Shariah law is a subject that is misunderstood and misrepresented by many in the West. More than simply a system of law, it is concerned with a set of values and rules that are essential to the understanding and practice of Islam. In this volume, Mohammad Hashim Kamali, a world-renowned expert on Shariah, adopts a question-and-answer format to provide a clear introduction to its most salient aspects.Extending from the sources of Shariah in the Qur'an, hadith and the legal maxims of Islamic law to the discussion of issues such as freedom of religion, gender equality and human rights, Shariah Law: Questions and Answers connects the theoretical aspects of the law with how it is applied in the world today. At once scholarly and accessible, it is sure to be a vital resource for students, teachers and general readers, addressing as it does a range of contemporary concerns, including jihad, democracy, the environment, genetic engineering, human cloning, euthanasia and abortion.

Quran
1 يَرْفَعِ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنْكُمْ وَالَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ دَرَجَات.
2 وَلَا تَقْفُ مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلْمٌ إِنَّ السَّمْعَ وَالْبَصَرَ وَالْفُؤَادَ كُلُّ أُولَئِكَ كَانَ عَنْهُ مَسْئُولًا.
3 وَمَا آتَاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانْتَهُوا.
Hadith
4 أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لما أراد أن يبعث معاذ إلى اليمن, قال: كيف تقضي إذا عرض لك قضاء؟ قال: أقضي بكتاب الله, قال: فإن لم تجد في كتاب الله؟ قال: فبسنة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم, قال: فإن لم تجد في سنة رسول الله ولافي كتاب الله؟ قال أجتهد رأيي.
5 إني قد تركت فيكم شيئين إن تمسكتم بهما لن تضلوا بعدهما, كتاب الله وسنتي.
6 طلب العلم فريضة على كل مسلم ومسلمة.
7 طلب العلم كا ن كفارةً لما مضى.
