Shari’a is the divinely appointed way for humans to attain ultimate felicity and happiness in this world and the next. Hence it is based on rational objectives and purposes geared towards
catering to human welfare in an ultimate sense; by bringing ease and comfort and preventing
harm and injustice in all forms.
Ironically, today Shari’a has a bad name in the minds non-Muslims and many of the Muslims
themselves. They are due to ignorance, misuse, myths and misconceptions in the minds of
people.
This course seeks to discern the meaning and purpose of Shari’a by a close study of the sources
and thus attempt to dispel the misconceptions. We hope to see how the Shari’a preserves the
fundamental human values and how it can help individuals and societies to lead a peaceful and
harmonious life.
