The Effect of Shari at Law on International Relations

Abstract

According to Shari at Law, every person is supposed to adhere to the written Islamic law of Prophet Mohammed’s instruction. The diktats of reason or conscience have no place. Nonetheless, some Muslims use common sense and good conscience, that being the supreme reason why millions of Muslims worldwide live in relative harmony with Non-Muslims. However, in strict allegiance to Shariat,only what Allah (through the Quran) and his prophet Muhammad (through the Sunnah; the Sira and Hadiths) have to say about any given issue matters; and how Islam's greatest theologians and jurists – collectively known as the Ulema have articulated it.” This paper will inspect the vast ramifications of Islamic law, more commonly known as Shariat, for the world at large.
A Muslim cares about the religion of Islam, but all nonbelievers are affected by Islam’s political views. Therefore everything in this paper views Islam from the perspective of how it affects non-Muslims. There is no judgement being made here about the religious morality of the Muslims or Islam itself.
