520    "Shariah law is a subject that is misunderstood and 
       misrepresented by many in the West. More than simply a 
       system of law, it is concerned with a set of values and 
       rules that are essential to the understanding and practice
       of Islam. In this volume, Mohammad Hashim Kamali, a world-
       renowned expert on Shariah, adopts a question-and-answer 
       format to provide a clear introduction to its most salient
       aspects. Extending from the sources of Shariah in the 
       Qur'an, hadith and the legal maxims of Islamic law to the 
       discussion of issues such as freedom of religion, gender 
       equality and human rights, Shariah Law: Questions and 
       Answers connects the theoretical aspects of the law with 
       how it is applied in the world today. At once scholarly 
       and accessible, it is sure to be a vital resource for 
       students, teachers and general readers, addressing as it 
       does a range of contemporary concerns, including jihad, 
       democracy, the environment, genetic engineering, human 
       cloning, euthanasia and abortion"--Back cover.
