"Abstract

The explanation of Sharia has been made confusing through media heated argumentative debates and Muslim Scholars are not making correction (unable), or are not giving clear explanations in this either. Sharia is said as the Shara Law, it is very argumentative as it is. Whereas, there are English Law or British Law, European Law, Asian Law and Arabian or Arab Law, and in all there are Business Law, Civil Law , Family Law, and criminal Law, makes it odd of Sharia Law what is irritating some Wester people. Law in Arabic as I stated is Kanoon (and Mabroor is forbidden) a general applied Law of the Arab countries term. Haram is faith term and it is Quranic term. "

"Introduction

Sharia definition translates to an Agreement, or a Treaty, in relation to the term Sharia definition taken as the Law and order it is by the best translation of Sharia is the legislation therefore, it is the constituency - book of code. The principles.

Definitively, as I previously stated that Law is Kanoon in Arabic, it is not Sharia the Law, (or Sharia Law), it is correct that the translation for Law is Kanoon not Sharia. The term Sharia is well suited and is best fit for the Agreement and Treaty Article therefore, I reassert Sharia is the constituent legislation implementation (or the title deed) Book of Code. The Principles. Law is Kanoon, undeniably.

Despite I was warned not to write on Islam, years ago however, for the conflicting exchanges of opinions, heated exchanges and questioning via media, I wrote explaining my understanding of a decades long forgotten (or kind of forbidden) term Fatwa and Sharia I exclaimed is not Islamic Law, it is Hudud and its branches, from Al-Quran, I stated Hudud is the complete law and order system, and the term Sharia is legislation, or principles.

In spite of furthermore, pressure applied on my son for my very iteration and held me faulty for such statement hence, I had rechecked upon the mentioned phrases, carefully re-assessed my perception, it does make sense of mere verification and with the affirmations, I do reemphasize that term Sharia is legislation, Sharia is not Islamic Law, (it is the book keeping system, terms and conditions) principles, the Agreement therefore, it is the Treaty.

FATWA AND SHARIA"

"I have explained my perception of Fatwa in my books. I reinstate my explanation here on Fatwa, what I have understood from the collected sources, by reexamining the examples of the explained scenarios. In the strongest form, Fatwa is confrontation against certain rebellion actions or random acts or unusual or inappropriate challenges against a collective practice or established system or a rebel or organize Crime groups (Fatwa is the Islamic practice). In moderation Fatwa is about raising voice on concerning issue/s accusing with “conflict of evidence”, calling for an answer for sudden actions and warning for irrespective manners or acts. Fatwa is for holding the rebellions answerable and Question for reasoning. In general level Fatwa is a query for clarification, seeking explanation of justification and seeking acknowledgement for a motivated plans and for decisive actions. "

"I reiterate, Fatwa anyhow is not to order openly, not to encourage any killing by inciting or by enticement with a ransom reward. Fatwa is not personal advice given in response to a personal problem and it is not simply an answer to a question. Fatwa is a non-binding legal opinion issued in response to a legal problem.

Fatwa encourages to debate and discussion for awareness and understanding. It is not right of order or to plea a sentence or definitely not order of punishment. Fatwa is not separate to Kanoon or Law. For any inquiries relating to Law and order term Fatwa is the method or question or investigation, or an enquiry.

"Result

The explanation of Sharia has been made confusing through media heated argumentative debates and Muslim Scholars are not making correction (unable), or are not giving clear explanations on this either. Sharia is said as the Sharia Law, it is very argumentative as it is. There are English Law or British Law, European Law, Asian Law and Arabian or Arab Law, and in all there are Business Law, Civil Law , Family Law, and criminal Law. Law in Arabic as I stated is Kanoon and Mabroor is forbidden, a general applied Law of the countries in term. Haram is faith term and it is Quranic term.

When it comes to famous conflicting term Sharia, it is Sheria in Quran (grammatically, plural – gender term difference -feminism in word), it is not Sharia, not Sharia Kanoon or Law. Then there is Word Shariaethe in Quran means condition or agreement points (plural). About Hudaiba Makhah Treaty, it was an agreement article with points (plural) in it, had been agreed upon. In fact, it was a treaty, and an agreement."

"In UK for the Muslims specific performance, food, and Marriage, affairs and conducts, UK being a well advanced law implementation and well Practiced Nation had integrated into, reformed the terms and conditions of practices, facilitation made to the System legislatively, adherence of the Right of inclusion and diversity implementation, and the Shariaethe or agreement/s is/are applied in the process itself. Whereas, it does not make it the “Sharia law” as has been stated always made conflicting debates, arguments (and somewhat attacks are encouraged or instigated), and I do not see there is a need for addressing it as the “Sharia Law”, it is wise to avoid cause of conflict or deter from it to be the cause of confrontation.

A forgotten historical moment of occurrence, a big turn of event, (a heated movement) I had once wrote about, included in my book Reiterating Unspoken, a decade and half ago about what was attempted to obliterated made latent, discontinued from History of Politics, a Law reform session and the biggest political turning point in History marked that reshaped the entire world - slide down to current global politics of interconnection (the include and exclude splitting moment of splinter). It was during thevBritish India, 1st stage, High court George Lord Chelmsford in Calcutta, had set to codify hadiths and attempts to Anglicized Al-Quran for the British to Rule word’s Muslims with it, it was in India, in Bengal in Calcutta, not in Arab. There Bengali Muslim haji Shariath Ullah did object to it and drew Muslims, some Indian Muslims, (Hindu Bengali Academic Supported from the 1st instance), then made aware about this to Hashemites of Makkah, later on Iraqis attention brought to the matter, he by uprising, put on hold this British Act. It was word Hudud the focus was on as Islamic Regulations (or Kanoon).

My question is, since when word Sharia came into term for Law or Islamic Law? Where is the or where are the Article/s for it? If Yajid the son of Mawiya in Syria had said Shari Law, in definite, I Fatema Miah, rather with appreciation approve British post enlightened era’s thought of democracy with Law and reformation, where there is scope for reformations for integration, updates to adaptation, Human Rights and dignity is valued. In terms of will and wealth distribution, Islamic share percentages or portions it is a fair and just system. The Sheria - Shariethe, for the (Wasiath) will or the distribution of the wealth, the parents, children and siblings (and other relatives needs) are included in, which in contrast to British Law that wealth distribution is 1st and foremost the spouse is only made legitimate Rightful owner, and 50/50 assets distribution on divorce, in both situations the children (and parents) are left deprived. This is why marriage in UK has become complex matter (and open relationship has become a better option, in it the children get to have due right of parents input in upbringing and paying for cost of living). "



" Going back to Muslims so called “Sharia Law” the Muslim countries Law and order is such disgraceful that their political opposition members and leaders sought Asylum to other countries, even for political different views. When did Prophet gave punishment of lashes? Let alone beheading. The (jizia) tax or ransom taken from (not for being non- Muslims) those committed crime against prophet and his people, attacked on them, caused harm, challenged them to conflicts to war. The (jizia) what was known as tax was compensation of war damage, and punishment of course. Those accepted Islam took (biath) oath to Prophet and his companion were not set tax upon (not as favoritism) they took oath to work in establishing the system, giving oath of reassurance of supporting and companionship. Then from Islamic establishment, Hashemites of Makkah relocated to Jordan with the dismantle of Ottoman, there empowerment taken on by As-Saud of Riyadh, and Law and order as Islamic system or Muslims around faith and Holy relics has been under the new formed Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia is renowned for strict harsh punishment of and beheadings, lashes (often punishments are wrongly given to wrong or innocents by mistake or even by twisted by falsified plotted scheme.) in the name of Sharia Law, still there is no Book of Code of Law Acts specifically, written into constitution, not available to sight. Upon inquiring it came up with only Word title Sharia and Saudi Book of Code, is not even written in a constituency Article of legislation, although Courts set up on matters and verdicts served punishments, moon sighting is their popular court system. Book of code was challenged by Jay Shankar Indian politician, in relation to dealings, crime and Punishment, Human Rights, Rights of challenge versus terrorism, on that point I explained Hudud’s one branch Tazir. "



"While summarized the explanation, I include another finding that is “Sheria is a Swahili word translating for law (or legal), in English. It is also a variant spelling of Sharia (Islamic canonical law) and appears as a given name or surname.” Question is Swahili is a language, in African country, African of course did not have Islamic “Sharia Law” before Islam, how is in their Language Law is same Quranic word? Did they adapt the word from Quran? Or was it Swahili original word mean legislation (or Law) before Islam?

My above question arose as it is triggered with Swahili Law meaning Sharia, because Sheria Law originally could not have been Islamic before Islam. (A non Authentic hadith, non reference for hadith, (it is hear and say,) that once a (Sahaba) companion of Prophet PBUH on his return from a trade to an African region, came back with new phrase and it was presumably the phrase Sharia. A word used by trade men on their account book.)

Furthermore, In regard to, obsession over Sharia as the Law or the “Sharia Law”, my question and the rhetoric is where was “Sharia Law” between post 35 years after Hijri, (the deceptively assassination of Companion (Sahaba) Usman, then assassination of Sprit of prophet Ali, Love of Prophet his grandson Hussain PBUT), till 61 years after Hijri or the Migration of Prophet, time period After the death of Prophet PBUH? The inhumane battle of Karbala (assassination of love of prophet Hussain, his family and supporters).

Moreover, in the contemporary era, the “Sharia as a Law” is hated more by Nuriya Khan, Khadija Khan, Ayan Hirsi Ali, (Nooriya Khan said to be from Saudi) and Afghanistani women, Iranian women as well as by some UK media people, more hated by Americans and worse hated in Europe. Worse it is that Sharia is associated with Gang rape, violence, child marriage, as well as terrorism thus, on the contrary it meant to be Hudud commandments of Kesas and Tazir punishment in these matters.

"Methodology

Expressing Acknowledgement and Acclamation, with references, sharing my understanding and background on the subject I, Author Dr Fatema Miah (Raby), of Solihull , West Midlands, UK, a devout British Muslim, acquiring UK’s educational qualities polite mannerism and knowledge simultaneously being raised as a Muslim of dedicated Muslim Faith family followed Sunni Sectarian Hanifi, being an Ethnic Bengali dignified rich cultural ethics alongside faith Islam’s teaching and deep rooted feeling and witnessed love for Prophet and the companions and, family line, PBUT, applied respect to diversity, understanding the differences of views, lived with respect to others ways and Islam was performed without hate preaching. Where hate was not present, prayers and Quran recitations has been regular norm, holding respect to Quran is the highest of all, Sharia Law was not said rather Sunnah ,Fard, Wajib words were regular, and Shariath method was said very occasionally, in marriage matter, about inheritance the word said was Tarika or Shariathi Tarika, means methods or approach. Islamic ways of life style continued alongside regional/local, activities and culture of norm, with dignity, decency, as normally, without “doth protect too much” of faith and so in the system neither cruelty and no abuses were justified by faith. While choice of Halal Food was not much available easily, neither was a confrontation on it, in this very UK. Law and order was well suitable to faith Islam, there was not much conflict of contradictory views on Islam. My Understanding and interpretation of faith Islam, my faith practice as well as provides me soul satisfaction also maintained peaceful living for the nature of caring, mutual respect of ways of decent life styles while being God fearing. I, Author do take liability alone for my explanation with the provided reference on the subject and for my acclamation. "

,"Conclusion

From time of the death of Prophet PBUH Muslims were worse not only divided, in fact were in conflicts between Muslims over power, worse bad Muslims of Syria, and Kufa - Iraqi were towards non-Muslims, those same groups were brutally evil to Prophets family PBUT. There was lacking of decent respective humanly, appropriately adherence of any regulation, let alone Law and order implementation to be obeyed, rather worse cruel inhumane zeal, and maliciously attacking by some Muslims let to a blood and painful ending episode.

Perhaps, this was one of the dark melancholic era for there were endless immoral, undeniable ruthless conducts committed by some Arabs groups and some African groups, each groups stood up with some faith explanation thoughtlessly, regardless to validity of its viability, undeserving credentials, versus portray of their image let to Europeans hate and distrust towards East and South regional people. While some Good Muslim groups were subjugated, made helpless, voiceless, and subject to oppressions (through abuse and by fake Treaty), it is Treaty again with Shariaethe. (Yazid of Syria Muslim Tyrant was addressed as a Kafir.) Europeans took East and South, (excepts Hind and Persia) as malice, immoral illiterate and there is need of enforcement of guidance to the immoral species type, the assertion continued throughout Crusades to Imperial conquest and rule, the European Empires faced having to deal with Muslims faith in Africa and Asia, descended down followed on to contemporary Western integrated, for instance, Islam in UK through Migration.

The Battle of Karbala is a History of Arab and Middle Asia, to Asia Minor, from thereon it is a Western matter also by the Europeans connection to the region and for the history it is worldwide interconnected, through not by migration alone, it is for global international relations, and Late Queen Elizabeth II, her family line, our King Charles III too, their lineage descended down from the daughter of Prophet’s grandson Hassan PBUH. Then again Boris former Prime Ministers lineage descended down from the son of Ottoman’s last Sultan. I explained in my book “Turkey now and before”. "
