Instead, it is human beings who give effect to it according to their limited personal judgments and opinions". So don't put Human mistakes on the Islam!This is their own limit understanding as human about Quraan and Sunnah but not Islam itself! Salam All Im saying is the Shariah law is not an obligation for muslims. If u dont follow the shariah laws, it doesnt mean ur not muslim. It doesnt say in the Quran, the words of Allah, that muslims have to follow Sharia laws. People who think otherwise need to re-learn Islam. The sharia Law was written by muslim men approximately 300 years after the death of the prophet Mohamud (scw), it was based on the Quran and hadith and under social conditions of that time-beheading were normal at that time, so its not surprise to see it included in the Sharia Laws as one of the methods to punish criminals. Its not however suited to today's world, it needs to be studied by qualified ppl and certain aspects of it have to discarded, it needs to be reformed. Many muslims in the world dont follow the Sharia law. Our Somali fore-fateher chose not to follow it, they werent bad muslims, if anything they were fully practising muslims. And as practising muslim-I will never allow myself to be ruled by the shariah laws. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
