Define Shariah

There is an interesting thread with a poll on having shariah or otherwise. First of all, I want to ask with due respect what you all think about shariah and what shariah actually is.

If you support it, then why?
If you do not support it, what are your reasons?

To be a little precise, is it the Shariah of the Prophet Muhammad (saw) we are talking about?

Re: Define Shariah

In a word: nonsense.

In 2 words: outdated nonsense.

Do you want the 3, 4 and 5 word definitions too?

Re: Define Shariah

Go ahead…say the 3, 4, and 5…we are ready to listen…maybe some sanity can come in the 6th, 7th and 8th… :flower2:

I respect what you say. If its nonsense, than why? Plz enlighten us all. You must be having something in your mind…R u afraid of saying it…I am sure not..

Re: Define Shariah

Do all the maluvi's in Pakistan agree on one version of Sharia?

Re: Define Shariah

Sharia is rules for Muslims as mentioned in the Quran & Sunnah. There is no simpler definition.

Figh is responsible for implementing Sharia, into the society. Figh cannot modify sharia.

Re: Define Shariah

Do all secularists agree on a single set of laws? No...that's what parliment is for.

The question is, how many are willing to sit down and engage in a political process.

If even the MMA types are, then it's a promising sign.

Re: Define Shariah

What a ridiculous comparison.

Secularlism does not have one religious book as it's guidance, it's more a political stance. The Quran is one holy book for all time. Why can't our mullahs all agree on it's exact interpretation, especially when it comes to Sharia laws?

The MMA leaders cannot even pray in the same Mosque, let alone agree on one version of Sharia.
