Publisher's Synopsis
In the face of the myriad challenges confronting humanity in the 21st century, a profound question arises: How are we effectively addressing these complex issues? Islamic Sharia emerges as a comprehensive solution to the evolving challenges of our time. Regrettably, the term "Shariah" has been misconstrued by Orientalists, instigating confusion among many Muslims. Far too often, Sharia is erroneously linked with antiquated practices such as limb amputation, death by stoning, lashes, and other medieval forms of punishment. This misinterpretation has cast a negative shadow over Sharia, particularly in Western societies, where it is unjustly perceived as an outdated and oppressive social system imposed upon people against their will.
The lack of a genuine understanding of Sharia not only begets confusion but also contributes to a hostile environment towards Islam. Limited understanding of Sharia, often restricting its scope primarily to Islamic penal laws. Yet, Sharia is an encompassing guide for every facet of Muslim life, integral to daily practice. It offers counsel on personal matters such as marriage, hygiene, diet, prayer, and fasting, while simultaneously addressing broader social concerns like crime, politics, and economics.
This treatise aspires to unravel the essence of Islamic Sharia, elucidating its meaning, underscoring its necessity, and delving into how it can be practically embraced in the contemporary era.
