An understanding of Islamic law is essential for Muslims and also non-Muslims who work with Muslims in legal contexts, as well as for anyone wanting to understand the role of Islam in the world today. Unlike western legal systems where religious and legal spheres are kept separate, Islamic law is all encompassing, directing all human actions. Legal scholar Hisham M. Ramadan brings together classic and current contributions that give an excellent overview of the formation of Islamic law and its role in contemporary Islamic and non-Islamic states. Following an overview of Islamic Law, the chapters delve deep into Islamic criminal law, international humanitarian law, contract law, and family law. A concluding essay offers an explanation of the legal value of Islam and two appendixes include original Islamic legal documents from Muhammad's time up to the present day. Book jacket.

Стр. ix - O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of God is (he who is) the most Righteous of you.
