| | Hudud: Central to Islam? |
 | | The proponents of hudud laws have created the erroneous impression that hudud laws are central to Islam, that they define the character and identity of an Islamic state and society. |
 | | After all, hudud itself is essentially a reminder to the human being of the importance of observing certain boundaries, certain restraints, in one's personal and social conduct. |
 | | Hudud, in its philosophical sense, is not a rigid, dogmatic set of rules and regulations. |
