What is Islamic law different from the law in the US?

Answer 1

1. Islamic Law is considered sacred by Muslims, whilst law in the US has been discussed and argued and decided on by elected people that shared the same scripture in the Christian Bible.
2. Islamic Law is enshrined in the Holy Quran (the Last Testament) (Bible: Old Testament) and the Sunnah (the sayings & traditions of the Prophet Muhammad SAW) whilst US law is drafted by men to be passed by men in the two legislative houses of elected or appointed people's representatives.
3. Islamic Law remains intact and unchanged in its entirety throughout life until the end of time, whilst US law can be subjected to changes/amendment's, with additions and/or subtractions, due to pressing legal needs of the particular period of time.
4. Islamic Law is told by Allah to Moses via His archangel Jibril (Gabriel) and revealed in Arabic words to the Prophet Muhammad. The US law is written by men in American English.
5. Islamic Law also doubles up as a stipulated "way of life" for all Muslims worldwide to adhere to whilst US law only covers US citizens and visitors to the US.
6. Islamic Law is never challenged in the Syariah court, whilst US law my be subjected to criticisms or even ridicule in the US courts of law.
7. Finally Islamic Law has remained uncontested for more than a thousand years old whilst US law is hardly 300 years old.

To Christians, they can read the Commandments given to Moses in the Old Testament. This is almost the same, but Christians are allowed to interpret these as said in a time and context and adapt these to what they consider correct today. Muslims may do the same and may elect their priests to pass judgment. The Bible say that a limb should be cut off to the thief, so does the Koran. So, in some countries, you risk losing a finger should you be caught stealing.

US law will also consider stealing to be wrong, since it shares the same values. But the consequence - the judgment passed has been determined by politicians over the years, and judges have passed sentences to keep others from stealing.

Answer 4

The Islamic law is different from the US because Islam law is a religious law, not for a country, but for a belief. So while Muslims read the same books of Moses in their Koran as Christians have in the Bible, we should be able to compare.

You can drink beer and wine in most Muslim countries, because Muslims also believe that what you do is between you and the Almighty. They have also come to that modesty is acceptable, and abuse a disgrace. A religious law is directives on how to conduct yourself to please the "Almighty". You cannot argue religion, you either believe or not.

You find that many true Christians will decline the same vices as the Muslims: they will get their women to cover their hair, not get drunk or abuse substance, not gamble, sex in marriage only - because they believe in the same values, such as found in the ten commandments.

Politicians can decide on laws that they believe is right, and then revert and vote against the law should they change their mind. The Koran nor the Bible mentions anything about trade laws, but when it comes to criminal law, the US law is very much aligned with Islamic law since this is founded on the books of Moses, just as the Christians and Jewish faiths.

Answer 5

Islamic law is a religous set of rules to determine what is right and wrong.

The law in the US declares itself nonreligous and sets down what is allowed and not allowed not what is right and wrong.
