Chief Justice Md Ruhul Amin told an international seminar in Dhaka
yesterday that the curses of corruption and terrorism that afflict societies
can be effectively curbed through the application of Islamic legal framework.
Addressing the inaugural session of a two-day international seminar on
Islamic Law and its application in the contemporary society" at the BIAM
auditorium, the Chief Justice said, 'Contrary to what people may believe,
Islamic legal system is the most dynamic in nature and its acceptability with
changing time and place is guaranteed through the window of Ijtehaad.'
He said, as the divine law on earth Islamic law is the most comprehensive
set of rules and regulations which is capable of dispensing justice. 'A very
special characteristic of the Islamic law is that it is applicable in all times
and to all societies regardless of their ethnicity, colour and creed.'
The seminar is being attended by scholars from Malaysia, India, Pakistan,
nd Bangladesh. It has been jointly organised by the Islamic Law Research Centre
and Legal Aid Bangladesh (ILRCLAB) and the Bangladesh Institute of Islamic
Thought (BIIT).
Presided over by Shah Abdul Hannan, former secretary to the government, and
president, BIIT, the inaugural function was also addressed by advocate Nazrul
Islam, secretary general of ILRCLAB, Prof. Imtiaz Ghulam Ahmed of the
University of Calcutta, India, Dr. Hashim Kamali of International Islamic
University, Malaysia, Justice Khalil-ur-Rehman Khan of Pakistan, Mostafa Kamal
Majumder, Editor, The New Nation, Prof. Abu Bakar Rafiq, Pro-VC, International
Islamic University, Chittagong and Prof. Abul Hasan Sadeq, VC, Asian University
of Bangladesh.
The Chief Justice said that the relevance of Islamic law to our society in
modern times has never diminished. 'Instead, I think it is more relevant today
than ever before.' Referring to massive corruption in our society, he said
although huge anti-corruption measures inhibited the exent of corruption
temporarily, they have seldom been successful to change the very characters of
the corrupt people.
Similarly, most of the anti-terrorism measures that have been taken to curb
terrorism that has shaken the world, failed to bring about desirable results,
or ironically, proved counter productive.
He said Islamic legal framework will be able to instill the necessary moral
fabric in the minds of the corrupt ones so that they would feel an urge from
within themselves not to get involved in corruption. 'Islam does not heal any
problem with superficial and light approach, rather it enters deeper into it to
understand its nature and cause and then uproot the evil from its source, he
said.
The Chief Justice hoped that through the 2-day deliberations of the
workshop a concrete understanding of Islamic law and its applicability in the
contemporary society will develop. The event is well timed in the wake of
increased corruption, terrorism and crimes around the globe in general ad in
our country in particular, he added.
Shah Abdul Hannan said that Islamic law research progressed a lot and some
such laws have been enacted in various countries, though we cannot say that the
legislation are perfect and there are no lacunae. The Ulema and politicians for
the first time in history agreed on the principles of Islamic Constitution when
in Pakistan they framed constitutions in 1956 and then in 1973.
He, however, pointed out that there is a lot of misunderstanding about the
depth and vastness of Islamic law. There is hardly anything to change in
ninety-eight per cent of the laws in Bangladesh (to make them Islamic) because
they deal with procedure and punishment, if any, he said.
