| description |
The modern world has increasingly witnessed paucity of people with impeccable moral
standards. All forms of moral bankruptcy are being witnessed across nations of the world. Muslim
nations are also not excluded from this. This ranges from homosexuality, same sex marriage, abortion,
suicide, euthanasia, and corruption to mention but a few. This ultimately calls to question the impact,
which the law has in the moral and social development of nations. The problem seems to be aggravated
as a result of the gap and disconnection between law and morality. The tremendous impact of this on
moral and social development of the society is better imagined than real. Based on this premise, the
paper analyses the role of the Shari‛ah in contemporary moral and social development. In doing this, it
analyses how the Shari‛ah puts in place mechanisms to ensure moral and social developments in the
society. It further discusses the perspectives of the Shari‛ah to the contemporary moral issues. For this
purpose, the verses of the Qur’an, Sunnah of the Prophet (s.a.w.) and opinions of learned Muslim
scholars are used. |
