Shafaat Book by Mohammad Beheshti (Pocket-Sized)

Islamic law, known as Sharia, is a comprehensive legal and ethical system derived from the Qur’an, Hadith, consensus (ijma), and analogical reasoning (qiyas). It governs various aspects of life, including personal conduct, family relations, commerce, and justice. Books in this category explore classical jurisprudence (fiqh) as well as modern interpretations of Islamic law in contemporary society. Works like Tafsir al-Tabari by Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari provide foundational insights into how Islamic legal principles were historically developed and understood, while other texts examine the role of Sharia in different cultural and political contexts. Islamic social thought extends beyond legal rulings to encompass ethics, governance, and social justice. Scholars analyze the relationship between faith and society, addressing issues like human rights, economic justice, and gender roles within an Islamic framework. Books such as Letter of Ali ibn Abi Talib to Malik al-Ashtar (Farsi) highlight early Islamic governance principles based on justice, equality, and compassion. These studies offer valuable perspectives on how Islamic thought continues to shape laws and social structures in Muslim communities worldwide, balancing tradition with modernity.
