COURSE JUSTIFICATION
Like other existing legal
systems, sharia (or Islamic law) has its own processes of developing and
identifying religious and legal norms. Moreover, since the 19th century, but
also recently in light of the Arab Spring, traditional Islamic law as jurists’
law has been transformed considerably. This course introduces Bachelor students
to Islamic law by offering them a firm understanding in the broad range of
views on “living according to God’s Will” that Muslims have developed over the
course of more than 1400 years in different parts of the world.
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This is designed to
equip the student teachers of Islamic religious studies with the relevant
knowledge and insight into how Islamic law addresses itself to the
contemporary, spiritual, moral, economic and political issues.
In particular, it will
focus on the relevant teachings and lessons drawn from Islamic law as guidance
to Muslim affairs.
COURSE AIM
The course aims to equip students with the
knowledge and appreciation of the main outlines of the history of Islamic law,
its methodologies, major concepts, and different manifestations., as well as knowledge of and insight into selected areas
of the Islamic legal system, such as family law, criminal law and Islamic
finance.
