Raktažodžiai:
Shariah law is one of the most controversial and politicized concepts in the Islamic world. Typically regarded with suspicion if not outright disdain in the West, it is a complex subject poorly understood by many. In this volume, Mohammad Hashim Kamali, a world-renowned expert on the topic, adopts a question-and-answer format to provide a clear introduction to the most salient aspects of Shariah.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.

An illuminating introductory volume on a system of law that has often been characterised as backward and brutal by opponents in the West

A solid jump-start into the subject for ­inquiring minds. * Library Journal * Comprehensive in its scope and detailed in discussing how shariah addresses issues such as worship, criminal law, gender and family, banking and finance, and modern bioethical and environmental concerns. Kamali is a sound scholar and an encyclopedic source of information on shariahs theoretical and applied aspects, and this book reflects that erudition. * Publishers Weekly * Professor Mohammad Hashim Kamali is one of the leading scholars of our time in the Islamic legal field, to which this book is a timely and critical contribution. His thoughtful, in-depth and accessible responses to essential questions help the reader to gain a comprehensive understanding of crucial Islamic notions. -- Tariq Ramadan, Professor of Contemporary Islamic Studies, University of Oxford A must read for anyone seeking answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about Shariah and a masterly demonstration of the contextualization of Shariah law in todays setting. -- Abdullah Saeed, Sultan of Oman Professor of Arab and Islamic Studies, University of Melbourne A most appropriate book that provides a clear understanding of Shariah law, especially in these times of general misunderstanding about the system in the West. Highly recommended. -- Mashood A. Baderin, Professor of Laws, School of Law, SOAS University of London A clear-eyed, scholarly, thorough and timely general treatment of the most pressing questions an English-speaking layman may have about the Shariah. -- HRH Prince Ghazi
