national legal system. Islam is a religion that in its development has been strongly based on a just life: that is, on religious codes of behavior for the individual believer in his relationship towards God and the community of believers (Platti 2004). Thus, for many Muslims ‘Islam’ and ‘Sharia’ more or less converge (Kadhim 2003).

Islam is one of the three Abrahamic monotheistic religions and one of the most widely followed religions in the world. The literal translation of the word Islam means surrender or submission, 1 in this case to God.

Attempting to define Islamic law proves to be a daunting task. Because of the dynamic nature of the legal system and the absence of a unified code, but not the absence of authoritative texts, any definition of Islamic law is bound to over or under inclusion depending on the approach taken by the different schools of thought to this highly rich fiel...
The term fiqh (or fik̟h) refers to juristic efforts aiming at coming up with rules that are compliant with sharīaʿ. After the death of the prophet, the early Muslim community was confronted with the issue of regulating life in accordance with Islamic law. While, as mentioned earlier, the Qur’an’s centrality was evident from the beginning, the socia...

The first category, Usūl al-Fiqh (trans. sources of the law), referred to jurisprudential theories addressing the hierarchy of the sources.

Works of furūʿ are older than works of usūl. It can be argued the furūʿ legal reasoning started right aft...

As Islam gives guidance for all walks of life, Fiqh, the law of Islam, as developed from the beginning, comprehends the religious, social, economic, and political aspects of human existence.
