THE SIGNIFICANCE OF SHARI’AH AND ITS INFLUENCE ON MODERN LEGAL SYSTEM IN NIGERIA
Pursuit for knowledge is compulsory. It is the sole feature
that distinguishes human race from other creatures.
Without knowledge one is equal to an animal. Shari’ah
guides and regulates Muslim’s conducts and equally the
non-Muslim who willfully submits to its jurisdiction. The
conduct in this sense is holistic of both spiritual and
mundane. However, the question that sprung up here is
whether knowledge of Shari’ah is obligatory to a Muslim
and particularly to lawyers and judges who represent
clients and adjudicate on Islamic law matters. Similarly, in
modern legal systems, Shari’ah play a vital role in many
aspects. Particularly, in the judiciary, politics, governance
and finance industry. Most of the world’s Muslim-majority
countries have laws that reference Shari’ah. Many western
countries also adopt Islamic model of finance in their
finance industry either as a window or full-fledged.
