	"What is Shariah? - Definition/Description potpourri" by Dr. Mohammad Omar Farooq (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Shari'ah is the set of rules derived from both the Holy Quran and the authentic traditions (Sunnah) of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and the scholarly opinions (Ijtehad) based on Quran and Sunnah.
		The Shari'ah includes the Islamic beliefs and concepts and their implications concerning the attributes of God, the nature of life, what is apparent and what is hidden in it, the nature of man, and the interrelationships among these.
		Shari’ah, or Islamic law, is the "centerpiece and backbone of the religion of Islam." It is based on the Qur’an, which Muslims believe is the revealed book of God given to Muhammad over 23 years, ending in 632 CE, and the Sunnah, or example of the Prophet Muhammad, whom Muslims believe was divinely guided.

	SHARIAH: THE WAY OF JUSTICE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		What I therefore wish to attempt is to discuss the place of justice in the Shari’ah and the basis and nature of the provisions regarding women and criminal punishment in a way that may at lest generate understanding and tolerance, if not agreement.
		The Shari’ah itself is therefore the ultimate criterion of justice and mercy, and cannot and ought not to be measured against changing human standards.
		The overall scheme of the Shari’ah and its various specific provisions are largely determined by the way Islam resolves the perennial question of tension between the individual and society and the fundamental and crucial role it assigns to the family.

	Shariah Capital \| About
		Shariah Capital looks for opportunities, usually with joint venture partners, to establish new companies or to restructure existing companies or investment partnerships to comply with Shariah, particularly in industries whose underlying businesses, by definition, largely are Shariah compliant: healthcare, technology, energy, telecommunications, consumer and basic industries (construction, manufacturing, mining, etc.).
		Shariah Capital management has learned that Shariah scholars, working together with Western legal and finance professionals, should be involved early in the development process of a Shariah compliant product—both for their guidance as Islamic jurists as well as for their commitment to serious scholarship.
		Shariah Capital has always enjoyed close working relationships with some of the most reputable scholars in Islamic finance, the result of Eric Meyer’s early and full-time commitment since 2000 to learn directly from, and to work individually and collectively with, prominent Shariah scholars.

	Mail & Guardian Online:
		The establishment of "shariah states" (by the governors of 12 states with Muslim majorities) in Nigeria, a country just emerging from nearly two decades of military rule, has come to define shariah since late 1999, but the proclamation of a "shariah state" in Sudan in 1983 had already drawn attention to this phenomenon in Africa.
		Astonished observers found that the call to "full shariah" by the governor of Zamfara state in late 1999 was hugely popular with the masses; he had little option but to concede to mass demands, he claimed.
		Since shariah is not a Western import it can be appropriated as a "traditional" and legitimate weapon for people who have suffered from colonial modernity and post-colonial development.

	Shariah Rulings in Islamic banking and insurance
		Q - What is the Shari'ah viewpoint concerning the purchase of tickets for travel and their resale, on a murabahah basis, to clients, by means of a special arrangement between the bank and the national (or any other) airline?

		Certain aspects of the social dimension of the Shariah, which have long been abandoned or neglected such as state participation in the collection and distribution of Zakat or regulating commercial practices to conform to the ideals of the Shariah, are revived or reinvigorated.
		A more sinister political challenge which Muslims had to contend with for championing the adoption of Shariah to regulate their entire life were incessant acts of harassment and threats of one form of reprisal and political intimidation or another from their brethren in the south.
		To prove their thesis that the Shariah is discriminatory against women and non-Muslims, a consortium of NGOs undertook a fact-finding mission, in February 2000 or thereabout, to Gusau, Zamfara State in the heat of the debate about that State’s adoption of the Shariah.

		“Shariah” is a term encompassing a broad collection of laws and over a thousand years worth of jurisprudential study based on the Qu’ran and the Sunnah or Hadith (guidelines based on lessons from the life examples and specific instructions of the Prophet Muhammad).
		Within that framework, the worst elements of such disparate phenomena as racism, pluralism and multiculturalism are rendering toxic a discourse that either hides a regressive, thin-edge-of-the-wedge establishment of ghettoized religious courts behind a wall of banal pleasantries about diversity, or else appeals to the basest Islamophobia and prejudice in opposition to it.
		Shariah courts mark the ‘opportunity’ for some layers of the Muslim community in the face of the ‘crises’ of a general democratic breakdown and campaign of scapegoating.
