00:00Welcome to AIMS, an internationally accredited and globally recognized institution for Islamic finance education.

00:08What is Islamic Sharia?

00:10Meaning of the word Sharia is a way.

00:13In Islamic terminology, Sharia means a legal system or the law of Islam.

00:19Sharia refers to the matters of religion that Allah has legislated for humans.

00:23Allah has sent messengers to people who guide them the right path, a path that lead them to happiness in this world and hereafter.

00:36Here are the two fundamentals of Islamic Sharia.

00:43Concept of Sharia according to the Quran.

00:46In chapter 5, verse 3 of Quran, Allah says,

00:49Today I have perfected your way of life for you and completed my favor upon you and have chosen Islam as your way of life.

01:14Limitations of Islamic Sharia

01:20The word Muslim means one who submits to Allah.

01:25Islam expects a Muslim to follow its laws in every aspect of life.

01:30The domain of Sharia includes following matters.

01:33Personal and familial.

01:35Religious, social, moral and political.

01:38And business and economics.

01:40As explained in chapter 33, verse 36 of Quran, where Allah says,

01:50In the name of his name, Allah says,

02:01In the name of his name, Allah says,

02:04It is not fitting for a believer, man or woman, when a matter has been decided by Allah and

02:23his messenger to have any option about their decision.

02:28If anyone disobeys Allah and his messenger, he is indeed on a clearly wrong path.

02:56Sources of Islamic Sharia

03:00The Islamic Sharia comprises of laws and these laws are abstracted from the following four

03:06resources. Number one, Quran, a book of Allah. Number two, Sunnah, the practices of the holy

03:15prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. Number three, Ijma, the approval and agreed opinion of the Muslim

03:23jurists. Number four, Qiyas, the analogy from the Quran, Sunnah, and Ijma. Let us take a look at each of them.

03:38Quran, the first source of Sharia. Quran is the sacred book of Muslims and is the primary source

03:44of the Muslim laws. Quran is a complete code of conduct itself. It tells us what Allah wants us to do,

03:51from birth to death. However, when it does not speak directly on a certain subject, Muslims only then

03:58turn to alternative sources. Sunnah, the second source of Sharia. The word Sunnah means a system, a path,

04:11or an example. In Islam, it refers to the practices of the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, and his

04:18life examples. Sunnah are the things that, prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said, did, or agreed to.

04:27Sunnah clarifies details of what is stated generally in the Quran. So it is part of every Muslim's faith

04:33that Sunnah is the third source of Sharia. It may be defined as consensus of opinion of the companions

04:51of the holy prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, or Muslim jurists of the first three centuries of the

04:58Hijra. Ijma is simply an agreed-upon decision. It used in an Islamic society to overcome a problem,

05:05which could not be found in Quran or in Sunnah.

05:14Ijma may be understood from the following hadith of prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, who said,

05:22If anything comes to you for decision, according to the book of Allah, if anything comes to you,

05:28which is not in the book of Allah, then look to the Sunnah of the prophet, peace be upon him.

05:34If anything comes to you, which is not in the Sunnah of prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him,

05:39then look to what people unanimously agrees upon.

05:42Qiyas, the fourth and last source of Sharia. Qiyas means judging by comparing with a something.

05:55It may be defined as the analogy from the Quran, the Sunnah, and Ijma. Qiyas can be carried out only in

06:03a Sharia-governed state when a solution to a problem cannot be found in Quran, Sunnah, and Ijma.

06:11Qiyas, the fourth and last source of Sharia.

06:17When something needs a legal ruling, but has not been clearly addressed in the other sources,

06:23Islamic jurists may use analogy, reasoning, and legal precedent to decide new case law.

06:35Qiyas may be understood from the following hadith of prophet Muhammad,

06:41Peace be upon him, who said, Judge upon the book of Allah, upon the Sunnah of the prophet,

06:48and if you do not find it in that, then use your personal opinion.

06:55Why Sharia is important. Muslims believe that. The purpose of their creation is nothing but servitude,

07:03which is being a servant to Allah. Without the guidance of Allah, no one can meet this purpose.

07:09Fulfillment of the servitude mission is following the guidance of Allah, which is Sharia.

07:15Sharia is a path set by Allah for those who accept Him in order to attain success both in the worldly life

07:22and in the hereafter.
