Relatively little has been written in English about the Islamic
legal tradition, a serious deficiency in light of recent tensions
in the Middle East and the Islamic revival in general. The body of
Islamic law, or Shari'a, is central to the understanding of Islamic
society and the current conflict between fundamentalism and
modernism in the Islamic world. While acknowledging the regional
differences in the local characteristics of the Shari'a, this work
provides a straightforward introduction to procedure and
punishment, discussing the major concepts, principles, and
practices. The establishment of the Shari'a signified a progressive
step in the development of legal practice as it modified the
Islamic customs of retaliation and blood revenge. Nevertheless,
Islamic law differs from common and civil codes due to its
religious and virtually unchangeable nature.
