Sharia has been a source of
misunderstanding and misconception in both the Muslim and non-Muslim
worlds. Understanding Sharia: Islamic Law in a Globalised World sets
out to explore the reality of sharia, contextualising its development
in the early centuries of Islam and showing how it evolved in line with
historical and social circumstances. The authors, Raficq S. Abdulla
and Mohamed M. Keshavjee, both British-trained lawyers, argue that
sharia and the positive law flowing from it, known as fiqh, have never
been an exclusive legal system or a fixed set of beliefs.
