| | Sharia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The term Sharia itself derives from the verb shara'a, which according to Abdul Mannan Omar's Dictionary of the Holy Qur'an connects to the idea of "spiritual law" (5:48) and "system of divine law; way of belief and practice" (45:18) in the Qur'an. | | | The comprehensive nature of Sharia law is due to the belief that the law must provide all that is necessary for a person's spiritual and physical well-being. | | | Sharia (Arabic: شريعة translit: Sharī‘ah) refers to Islamic law. |

| | Why Sharia Law Must Be Opposed |
| | We are told that Islam is a religion of peace and that the struggle, jihad, to impose Islam by conquest is not to be taken literally. | | | But the arguments against Political Islam are not against the holy texts but against the Sharia as it is practiced today in Islamic states. | | | The more pernicious interpretations of the Sharia today fall far short of the minimum standards of justice widely demanded by the international community and by Muslims and non-Muslims alike. |

| | Sharia is often referred to as Islamic law, but this is wrong, as only a small part is irrefutably based upon the core Islamic text, the Koran. | | | Muslims are not totally bound by the Sharia when they live or travel outside the Muslim world. | | | ...then we gave you a Sharia in religion, follow it, and do not follow the lust of those who do not know... |
