Islamic Law and the Challenges of Modernity

Islamic Law, known as Sharia, is a religious legal framework derived from the Quran and Hadith, guiding aspects of daily life and moral conduct for Muslims. Modernity introduces rapid technological, social, and cultural changes that challenge traditional interpretations of Sharia, prompting debates on issues like gender rights, democracy, and human rights. These challenges involve balancing faith-based practices with evolving societal values, ensuring religious principles remain relevant while respecting diverse perspectives and global standards. The ongoing dialogue aims to find ways for Islamic law to adapt thoughtfully without compromising its core beliefs.
