Quotes About the Shariah (Islamic Law)

“The Shariah [Islamic law] will not come on the back of tanks. The virtues cannot be created by force and nobleness and honor cannot be created through fear. The Shariah is mercy and affection and there are no tools to achieve it except mercy and affection.

Dr. Mustafa Mahmud

“I say that the [following of the] Shariah (Islamic law) is obligatory [on the Muslims] and that it is truth, but the road to it is not just punishment, but reform first. There needs to be positive reform that makes good behavior possible before we punish those who leave said behavior.

Dr. Mustafa Mahmud

“Do not deceive us by the false notion that there is no Islam without Islamic rule for it is a statement that holds the appearance of good while containing great evil. Islam is present everywhere in the world east and west and it is as present as faith is deep, without needing to be propped up by ceremony and formalities. Close this door from which enter opportunists and schemers and those with evil intentions. It is an attractive but false statement that everyone uses as a Trojan Horse to enter the house of Islam from its gates to destroy it from the inside while wearing the dress of the caliphate and repeating prayer words of the saints. It is the mask used by the new enemies of Islam.

Dr. Mustafa Mahmud

“Umar ibn al-Khattab understood the punishment prescribed for stealing in the Quran, yet never cut a hand in the year of the famine regardless of the clarity of the text. Umar did not do this in contradiction to the Quranic text, rather he did it out of obedience and understanding and comprehension of what's in it and perceiving the soul of the Shariah (Islamic law) over the text.

Dr. Mustafa Mahmud

“Sometimes many different rulings are narrated from Imam Ahmad regarding the same issue, and this is for no reason other than the fact that his rulings changed based on changes in situations and circumstances.

Yusuf al-Qaradhawi

“And the sickness that many of those who have worked in the field of religion is this: They stayed on the surface and didn't dive to its depths, because they didn't have the necessary qualifications to swim in it and find its pearls. So appearances distracted them from the secrets and the purposes, and the branches took away their attention from the principles, and they presented the religion of Allah and the rules of its shariah as scattered groups without anything unifying them and without relating the rulings to purposes and end goals, and so the shariah ended up appearing on their tongues and pencils as if it was deficient at attaining what's beneficial to the creation. But the deficiency is not in the shariah, rather it is in their understanding.

Yusuf al-Qaradhawi
