| | SHARIAH: THE WAY OF JUSTICE |
 | | Shari’ah literally means ‘way to water’ — the source of all life — and signifies the way to God, as given by God. | | | His life, person, freedom, possessions and honour are sacred and inviolable: no human being, not even the most powerful ruler, has the right, privilege or authority, unless acting in accordance with the law of God, to take anyone’s life, harm anyone physically, take away their possessions or violate their honour. | | | But, what is equally important to bear in mind is that some of the prevalent practices in the Muslim societies today, that have come into vogue as a result of centuries of decadence and stagnation as well as un-Islamic influences, should not be used to understand and judge Islam. |

| | Shariah was to preserve the dignity of mankind. | | | The first basic necessity is the protection of religious freedom, or the protection of religion and the way religion is observed. | | | In other words, one principle that Shariah has, even if Islam and Shariah are interpreted legally, more strictly, is to protect freedom of religion. |

| | Shari`ah and Fiqh |
| | The shari`ah deals with the ideology and faith; behavior and manners; and practical daily matters. | | | The Arabic word shari`ah refers to the laws and way of life prescribed by Allah (SWT) for his servants. | | | The science of fiqh started in the second century after Hijrah, when the Islamic state expanded and faced several issues which were not explicitly covered in the Qur'an and Sunnah of the Prophet (saas). |

| | The Shariah Debate |
| | When Christians fear intolerance from shariah, or accuse Islamic law of being barbaric, therefore, it is because their knowledge of shariah is limited to the bible and their experience under catholic popes which led to rebellion and secularism. | | | Christians should judge shariah by what the shariah is. The historical church is no yardstick for measuring Islam. | | | The suggestion that women are "bottled up" is also reflective of ignorance not only of shariah but of Muslim history in Nigeria. |
