Majority Muslims want Sharia law in their countries: Study

[Dubious]

It will really be a service to humanity if you can explain us what is sharia and clarify the doubt regarding some of the laws mentioned before.
There are other members who claim opposite things, it really difficult to know who is right. Whatever you do please do not suggest to learn arabic and read the book like @BDforever did, its not really practical.

@BDforever suggested that? well, kuch galat tou nai kaha

What do you want to know? Shariah ki 4 saal ki degree hoti hai...You want to learn it in 1 day?

@Roybot the minute I saw 5% polygamy in Nigeria I had to

Seriously? Maybe they consider 4 wives as polygamy and 2 wives as custom like Uganda which is not even Islamic?!

Niger, not Nigeria. Only 5% of Nigeriens(not to be confused with Nigerians) see polygamy(having more than 1 wife) as immoral.

Well its not really practical, it will take me at least a year or two to learn enough arabic to decipher what is really intended in the book. Then four more years to study as you said.
Can I not make an informed opinion without going into such trouble, by reading the arguments posted here?

I guess @BDforever being a nice guy basically politely said 'stfu and leave us alone', when he made that suggestion.

@hinduguy
i suggested to learn arabic to get proper translation of Al-Qur'an, was that bad advice ?


eg. there is way difference between English literature language meaning and normal English language meaning.

@hinduguy does a surgeon become a surgeon after i dont know, cutting animals or making opinions on how to cut a human being?

@Roybot Not sure where you got that :

Polygamous marriages are legal in the African nation of Niger, a country composed of predominantly Muslims. Islam permits a man to marry up to four wives, as long as he treats them all equally. It is estimated that over one third of Nigerien women are in polygamous unions. While polygamous marriages are typically contracted by Muslims, Nigerien society has been reported to tolerate other faiths who live in polygamous marriages as wel

@Roybot Not sure where you got that :

Errrr what has morality got to do with legality?

Errrr what has morality got to do with legality?

@Roybot I just showed you it is legal.... while you were saying it is not

Well, if you are thought that killing is illegal ...you will go to jail, eventually it becomes 2nd nature to see killing as wrong...Otherwise we would have still been barbarians of the past, right?

 

[Roybot]

@Roybot I just showed you it is legal.... while you were saying it is not

Wait what? When and where did I say it was not legal!!

 

[Dubious]

@Roybot ooopss sorry I read it wrong....Just went back to your post...ok so 5% say it is morally wrong...What does that show?
@Roybot from my readings, MOST of Africans practice polygamy, be they Muslims or spiritual worshipers or whatever coz it is kind of their culture...So, where are we headed?

 

[Roybot]

@Roybot ooopss sorry I read it wrong....Just went back to your post...ok so 5% say it is morally wrong...What does that show?

Long day eh? Happens to the best of us

It shows that most(87% in case of Niger) think its morally acceptable to have more than 1 wife. In Pakistan for example, only 42% find it morally acceptable to have more than 1 wife and so on.

I did not say its bad advice, i said its not practical. There is a need to explain things in layman's language, how do you think billions of muslims will adhere to it, if it cant be made simpler. Do you suggest 5 year quranic study for every muslim? (which I am sure you know is unlikely to happen)

I know every language has its nuances and by translating one loses some meaning but for matters like law it should be as clear as possible.
BTW we are not talking about religion or theology(although it is related), we are talking about law which need to be implemented and enforced by state.

@Roybot long day kahan I am still in office making primers and going bogus over the horrible food I had to eat today....Maybe am homesick

Khair...Ya high percentage of Africans are polygamous...1 of my colleague said her husband had 2 wives she didnt mention which 1 she was nor did I ask plus she said it is normal tradition in Uganda and she was not a Muslim...Some from other nations also said same and NONE were Muslims.....

Again, where are we?

@hinduguy
Why unlikely? When I was in Pri school I used to go to afternoon school for Islamic studies, call it madrasah or whatever, but it was not impossible! The teachers were from Egypt I think

We had subjects like Islamic History, Fiqh, Taqheed, Quran, Hadith...learnt how to pray, basics about Islam, how to live according to Islam and so on...Didnt make me radical nor anyone who passed out with me joined the Taliban... most of us went to uni and did some bachelors...while others continued to Masters.... So, am not sure how it is impossible

I know every language has its nuances and by translating one loses some meaning but for matters like law it should be as clear as possible.

Well, you see, we have people who THINK it is hard to learn the Quran and the basics, hence when a Conman comes along everyone falls for him...

BTW we are not talking about religion or theology(although it is related), we are talking about law which need to be implemented and enforced by state.

Well, it is simple if ANYONE bothered reading it themselves instead of following hearsay stuff

I am not aspiring to be an expert or sharia lawyer(?). All I want to know is dos and donts, right and wrong with some reason so that I can decide whether they are resonable, and also, when we have sharia law in Uk, I can faithfully abide by it.

Agreed its widely practiced in Africa, across the religious spectrum. Its basically an old tribal behavior, something which most of cultures and religions have done away with.

 

[Patriots]

Mate, This is what I hate the most. Dont assume things. I didnt mean anything like that, its just people like you who likes to make up stuff.


I just said that you need to bring proof that the system has worked in these times. Sharia has been a big part of KSA and Iran and it has failed there. Thats my point, your call now.

If Sharia can't work in these time while Allah has given Shariat to his Prophet (S.A.W) ... Ok ....... Democracy has been failed in Pakiistan ... Then why are you trying again n again to implement democracy in Pakistan ????
