The Sharia, the Rules of Allah (swt), is one of the many things in Islam that is talked about today in a derogatory way to try and remove the confidence from the minds of the Muslims.

It is often termed barbaric or oppressive by those who really don’t understand it or its purpose or how it is even implemented.

This week’s talks discusses the issue of the Sharia from the perspective of the punishment system and as a preventative measure to remove crime from the society so that the innocent don’t have to lock themselves up in their property or anchor any possessions with a steel cable. We also discuss how the Sharia is more than just the punishment system and how it is a framework to run life’s affairs to prevent and if the inevitable happens, to resolve problems.

We also compare Islam to the Western judicial system and whether it actually works in preventing crime or even bringing the level down. Whether it brings security and peace of mind to the people in society, or is it just another part of a system that is out of sync with the mindset of the rest of society, it’s culture and behaviour – and hence fails as a result?
