SUBSTANTIVE ISLAM (A NEW DIRECTION ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ISLAMIC SHARIA ACCORDING TO MUHAMMAD SAID AL-ASHMAWI)

摘要

It is undeniable that the emergence of movement for applying Sharia in people's life and its implementation is considered as an evidence of islamic authenticity. Therefore, they occasionally enforce people to apply it. Someone who does not support this movement is regarded as untruthful Muslims and even accused of being infidels that must be eradicated from the earth. On the contrary, Muhammad Said al-Ashmawi proposes that the application of religious dimensions as an ideal substance of Islam should respect the humanitarian aspects due to the essential concept that Islam is one, and the Shari'ah is diverse. Thus, the application of Islam should take the diversity of the sharia into account.
