Shari`ah, the laws and way of life prescribed by Allah for Muslims, deals with ideology and faith, behavior and manners, and day-to-day life. This page emphasizes that Shari`ah is not merely a collection of do’s and don’ts, nor just a code of criminal laws and prescribed punishments (hudud). Its scope is much broader and deeper, encompassing the totality of man’s life.

This page was initiated in response to Tariq Ramadan’s call for a moratorium in the Muslim world on the application of hudud. We do not refute that call or rule it out, but introduce Islamic Shari`ah in detail.

This page will be updated regularly with a variety of articles, interviews, and audio files, in sha’ Allah. And we invite you to contribute to the discussion.
