      The general public and many academics have several preconceived notions 
about Islamic Law. One such notion is that Islamic judges are bound by ancient 
and outdated rules of fixed punishments for all crimes. This paper explores 
that idea and looks at other myths in an attempt to present Islamic Law from a 
non-biased view of Shar'iah Law.  

      Some contemporary scholars fail to recognize Islamic Law as an equal to 
English Common Law, European Civil Law and Socialist Law. A few academics have 
even attempted to place Islamic Law into the Civil Law tradition. Other writers 
have simply added a footnote to their works on comparative justice on the 
religious law categories of Islamic Law, Hindu Law, which is still used in some 
parts of India, and the Law of Moses from the Old Testament which still guides 
the current thought of the Israeli Knesset (Parliament) today. This survey will 
attempt to alter some of these inaccurate perceptions and treatments in both 
the contemporary literature and academic writings.  

      Mohammed Salam Madkoar explains the theoretical assumptions of Islamic 
Law:  

        In order to protect the five important indispensables in Islam 
(religion, life, intellect, offspring and property), Islamic Law has provided a 
worldly punishment in addition to that in the hereafter. Islam has, in fact, 
adopted two courses for the preservation of these five indispensables: the 
first is through cultivating religious consciousness in the human soul and the 
awakening of human awareness through moral education; the second is by 
inflicting deterrent punishment, which is the basis of the Islamic criminal 
system. Therefore "Hudud," Retaliation (Kisas) and Discretionary (Tazir) 
punishments have been prescribed according to the type of the crime committed. 
      Islamic Law and Jurisprudence is not always understood by the western 
press. Although it is the responsibility of the mass media to bring to the 
world's attention violations of human rights and acts of terror, many believe 
that media stereotyping of all Muslims is a major problem. The recent bombing 
at the World Trade Centre in New York City is a prime example. The media often 
used the term "Islamic Fundamentalists" when referring to the accused in the 
case. It also referred to the Egyptian connections in that case as "Islamic 
Fundamentalists." The media has used the label of "Islamic Fundamentalist" to 
imply all kinds of possible negative connotations: terrorists, kidnappers and 
hostage takers. Since the media does not use the term "Fundamentalist 
Christian" each time a Christian does something wrong, the use of such labels 
is wrong for any group, Christians, Muslims, or Orthodox Jews.  
      A Muslim who is trying to live his religion is indeed a true believer in 
God. This person tries to live all of the tenets of his religion in a 
fundamental way. Thus, a true Muslim is a fundamentalist in the practice of 
that religion, but a true Muslim is not radical, because the Qur'an teaches 
tolerance and moderation in all things. When the popular media generalizes from 
the fundamentalist believer to the "radical fundamentalist" label they do a 
disservice to all Muslims and others.  

      No Separation of Church and State 
      To understand Islamic Law one must first understand the assumptions of 
Islam and the basic tenets of the religion. The meaning of the word 'Islam' is 
"submission or surrender to Allah's (God's) will." Therefore, Muslims must 
first and foremost obey and submit to Allah's will. Mohammad the Prophet was 
called by God to translate verses from the Angel Gabriel to form the most 
important book in Islam, the Qur'an, Muslims believe.  
      There are over 1.2 billion Muslims today world-wide, over 20% of the 
world's population. "By the year 2000, one out of every four persons on the 
planet will be a Muslim," Rittat Hassan estimated in 1990. There are 35 nations 
with population over 50% Muslim, and there are another 21 nations that have 
significant Muslim populations. There are 19 nations which have declared Islam 
in their respective constitutions. The Muslim religion is a global one and is 
rapidly expanding. The sheer number of Muslims living today makes the idea of 
putting Islamic Law into a footnote in contemporary writings inappropriate.  

      The most difficult part of Islamic Law for most westerners to grasp is 
that there is no separation of church and state. The religion of Islam and the 
government are one. Islamic Law is controlled, ruled and regulated by the 
Islamic religion. The theocracy controls all public and private matters. 
Government, law and religion are one. There are varying degrees of this concept 
in many nations, but all law, government and civil authority rests upon it and 
it is a part of Islamic religion. There are civil laws in Muslim nations for 
Muslim and non-Muslim people. Shar'iah is only applicable to Muslims. Most 
Americans and others schooled in Common Law have great difficulty with that 
concept.The U.S. Constitution (Bill of Rights) prohibits the government from 
"establishing a religion." The U.S. Supreme Court has concluded in numerous 
cases that the U.S. Government can't favour one religion over another. That 
concept is implicit for most U.S. legal scholars and many U.S. academicians 
believe that any mixture of "church and state" is inherently evil and filled 
with many problems. They reject all notions of a mixture of religion and 
government.  

      To start with such preconceived notions limits the knowledge base and 
information available to try and solve many social and criminal problems. To 
use an analogy from Christianity may be helpful. To ignore what all Christian 
religions except your own say about God would limit your knowledge base and you 
would not be informed or have the ability to appreciate your own religion. The 
same is true for Islamic Law and Islamic religion. You must open your mind to 
further expand your knowledge base. Islamic Law has many ideas, concepts, and 
information that can solve contemporary crime problems in many areas of the 
world. To do this you must first put on hold the preconceived notion of 
"separation of church and state."  

      Judge (Qazi) 
      Another myth concerning Islamic Law is that there are no judges. 
Historically the Islamic Judge (Qazi) was a legal secretary appointed by the 
provincial governors. Each Islamic nation may differ slightly in how the judges 
are selected. Some nations will use a formal process of legal education and 
internship in a lower court. For example, in Saudi Arabia there are two levels 
of courts. The formal Shariah Courts which were established in 1928 hear 
traditional cases. The Saudi government established a ministry of justice in 
1970, and they added administrative tribunals for traffic laws, business and 
commerce. "All judges are accountable to God in their decisions and practices" 
(Lippman, p.66-68).  
      One common myth associated with Islamic Law is that judges must always 
impose a fixed and predetermined punishment for each crime. Western writers 
often point to the inflexible nature of Islamic Law. Judges under Islamic Law 
are bound to administer several punishments for a few very serious crimes found 
in the Qur'an, but they possess much greater freedom in punishment for less 
serious (non-Hadd) crimes. Common law is filled with precedents, rules, and 
limitations which inhibit creative justice. Judges under Islamic Law are free 
to create new options and ideas to solve new problems associated with crime.  

      Elements of Shar'iah Law 
      Islamic law is known as Shariah Law, and Shariah means the path to follow 
God's Law. Shar'iah Law is holistic or eclectic in its approach to guide the 
individual in most daily matters. Shariah Law controls, rules and regulates all 
public and private behaviour. It has regulations for personal hygiene, diet, 
sexual conduct, and elements of child rearing. It also prescribes specific 
rules for prayers, fasting, giving to the poor, and many other religious 
matters. Civil Law and Common Law primarily focus on public behaviour, but both 
do regulate some private matters.  
      Shar'iah Law can also be used in larger situations than guiding an 
individual's behaviour. It can be used as guide for how an individual acts in 
society and how one group interacts with another. The Shar'iah Law can be used 
to settle border disputes between nations or within nations. It can also be 
used to settle international disputes, conflicts and wars. This Law does not 
exclude any knowledge from other sources and is viewed by the Muslim world as a 
vehicle to solve all problems civil, criminal and international.  

      Shar'iah Law has several sources from which to draw its guiding 
principles. It does not rely upon one source for its broad knowledge base. The 
first and primary element of Shar'iah Law is the Qur'an. It is the final 
arbitrator and there is no other appeal. The second element of Shar'iah Law is 
known as the Sunna, the teachings of the Prophet Mohammad not explicitly found 
in the Qur'an. The Sunna are a composite of the teachings of the Prophet and 
his works. The Sunna contain stories and anecdotes, called Hadith, to 
illustrate a concept. The Qur'an may not have all the information about 
behaviour and human interaction in detail; the Sunna gives more detailed 
information than the Qur'an.  

      The third element of Shar'iah Law is known as the Ijma. The Muslim 
religion uses the term Ulama as a label for its religious scholars. These 
Ulama's are consulted on many matters both personal and political. When the 
Ulama's reach a consensus on an issue, it is interpreted as Ijma. The concepts 
and ideas found in the Ijma are not found explicitly in the Qur'an or the 
teachings of the Prophet (Sunna). Islamic judges are able to examine the Ijma 
for many possible solutions which can be applied in a modern technical society. 
They are free to create new and innovative methods to solve crime and social 
problems based upon the concepts found in the Ijma.These judges have great 
discretion in applying the concepts to a specific problem.  

      The Qiyas are a fourth element of Shar'iah Law. The Qiyas are not 
explicitly found in the Qur'an, Sunna, or given in the Ijma. The Qiyas are new 
cases or case law which may have already been decided by a higher judge. The 
Shar'iah judge can use the legal precedent to decide new case law and its 
application to a specific problem. The judge can use a broad legal construct to 
resolve a very specific issue. For example, a computer crime or theft of 
computer time is not found in the Qur'an or Sunna. The act of theft as a 
generic term is prohibited so the judge must rely on logic and reason to create 
new case law or Qiyas.  

      The fifth element of Shar'iah Law is very broad and "all encompassing." 
This secondary body of knowledge may be ideas contained in the other written 
works. The New Testament is an example of this area of information, and legal 
discourses based upon Civil Law or Common Law may be another example. All 
information can be examined for logic and reason to see if it applies to the 
current case. It also may be a local custom or norm that judge may find helpful 
in applying to the issue before him. The judge may also weigh the impact of his 
decision upon how it will effect a person's standing in the community.  

      Crimes in Islam 
      Crimes under Islamic Law can be broken down into three major categories. 
Each will be discussed in greater detail with some common law analogies. The 
three major crime categories in Islamic Law are:  
        1. Hadd [plural Hudud] Crimes (most serious).  
        2. Tazir Crimes (least serious).  
        3. Qesas Crimes (revenge crimes restitution). 
      Hadd crimes are the most serious under Islamic Law, and Tazir crimes are 
the least serious. Some Western writers use the felony analogy for Hadd crimes 
and misdemeanor label for Tazir crimes. The analogy is partially accurate, but 
not entirely true. Common Law has no comparable form of Qesas crimes.  
      Fairchild, in her excellent book on comparative justice, makes the 
following observation of Islamic Law and punishment (Fairchild, p.41).  

        Punishments are prescribed in the Qur'an and are often harsh with the 
emphasis on corporal and capital punishment. Theft is punished by imprisonment 
or amputation of hands or feet, depending on the number of times it is 
committed . . .
      Hadd Crimes 
      Hadd crimes are those which are punishable by a pre-established 
punishment found in the Qur'an. These most serious of all crimes are found by 
an exact reference in the Qur'an to a specific act and a specific punishment 
for that act. There is no plea-bargaining or reducing the punishment for a Hadd 
crime. Hadd crimes have no minimum or maximum punishments attached to them. The 
punishment system is comparable to the determinate sentence imposed by some 
judges in the United States. If you commit a crime, you know what your 
punishment will be. There is no flexibility in the U.S. determinate model or in 
the punishment for Hadd crimes of Islamic Law.  
      No judge can change or reduce the punishment for these serious crimes. 
The Hadd crimes are:  

        1.  Murder;  
        2. Apostasy from Islam  
        1. (making war upon Allah and His messengers)  
             1. Theft  
             2. Adultery 
             3. Defamation 

        2. (false accusation of adultery or fornication)  
              1. Robbery  
              2. Alcohol-drinking [any intoxicants]

      The first four Hadd crimes have a specific punishment in the Qur'an. The 
last three crimes are mentioned but no specific punishment is found 
(Schmalleger, p.603).  
      Some more liberal Islamic judges do not consider apostasy from Islam or 
wine drinking as Hadd crimes. The more liberal Islamic nations treat these 
crimes as Tazir or a lesser crime.  

      Hadd crimes have fixed punishments because they are set by God and are 
found in the Qur'an. Hadd crimes are crimes against God's law and Tazir crimes 
are crimes against society. There are some safeguards for Hadd crimes that many 
in the media fail to mention. Some in the media only mention that if you steal, 
your hand is cut off. The Islamic judge must look at a higher level of proof 
and reasons why the person committed the crime. A judge can only impose the 
Hadd punishment when a person confesses to the crime or there are enough 
witnesses to the crime. The usual number of witnesses is two, but in the case 
of adultery four witnesses are required. The media often leaves the public with 
the impression that all are punished with flimsy evidence or limited proof. 
Islamic law has a very high level of proof for the most serious crimes and 
punishments. When there is doubt about the guilt of a Hadd crime, the judge 
must treat the crime as a lesser Tazir crime. If there is no confession to a 
crime or not enough witnesses to the crime, Islamic law requires the Hadd crime 
to be punished as a Tazir crime.  

      Tazir Crimes 
      Modern Islamic Society has changed greatly from the time of the Prophet. 
Contemporary Shar'iah Law is now in written form and is statutory in nature. 
Islamic concepts of justice argue that a person should know what the crime is 
and its possible punishment. For example, Egypt has a parliamentary process 
which has a formal penal code written and based upon the principles of Islamic 
Law, but Saudi Arabia allows the judge to set the Tazir crimes and punishments. 
Modern Islamic Law recognizes many differences between these two nations. It 
also allows for much greater flexibility in how it punishes an offender. The 
major myth of many people is that judges in Islamic nations have fixed 
punishments for all crimes. In reality the judges have much greater flexibility 
than judges under common law.  
      Tazir crimes are less serious than the Hadd crimes found in the Qur'an. 
Some common law writers use the analogy of misdemeanors, which is the lesser of 
the two categories (felony and misdemeanor) of common law crimes. Tazir crimes 
can and do have comparable "minor felony equivalents." These "minor felonies" 
are not found in the Qur'an so the Islamic judges are free to punish the 
offender in almost any fashion. Mohammed Salam Madkoar, who was the head of 
Islamic Law at the University of Cairo, makes the following observation 
(Ministry of the Interior, 1976, p.104):  

        Tazir punishments vary according to the circumstances. They change from 
time to time and from place to place. They vary according to the gravity of the 
crime and the extent of the criminal disposition of the criminal himself. 
      Tazir crimes are acts which are punished because the offender disobeys 
God's law and word. Tazir crimes can be punished if they harm the societal 
interest. Shar'iah Law places an emphasis on the societal or public interest. 
The assumption of the punishment is that a greater "evil " will be prevented in 
the future if you punish this offender now.  
      Historically Tazir crimes were not written down or codified. This gave 
each ruler great flexibility in what punishments the judge was able to 
dispense. The judge under Islamic Law is not bound by precedents, rules, or 
prior decisions as in common law. Judges are totally free to choose from any 
number of punishments that they think will help an individual offender. The 
only guiding principle for judges under Shar'iah Law is that they must answer 
to Allah and to the greater community of Muslims. Some of the more common 
punishments for Tazir crimes are counselling, fines, public or private censure, 
family and clan pressure and support, seizure of property, confinement in the 
home or place of detention, and flogging.  

      In some Islamic nations, Tazir crimes are set by legislative parliament. 
Each nation is free to establish its own criminal code and there is a great 
disparity in punishment of some of these crimes. Some of the more common Tazir 
crimes are: bribery, selling tainted or defective products, treason, usury, and 
selling obscene pictures. The consumption of alcohol in Egypt is punished much 
differently than in Iran or Saudi Arabia because they have far different civil 
laws. Islamic law has much greater flexibility than the Western media portrays. 
Each judge is free to punish based upon local norms, customs, and informal 
rules. Each judge is free to fix the punishment that will deter others from 
crime and will help to rehabilitate an offender.  

      Qesas Crimes and Diya 
      Islamic Law has an additional category of crimes that common law nations 
do not have. A Qesas crime is one of retaliation. If you commit a Qesas crime, 
the victim has a right to seek retribution and retaliation. The exact 
punishment for each Qesas crime is set forth in the Qur'an. If you are killed, 
then your family has a right to seek Qesas punishment from the murderer. 
Punishment can come in several forms and also may include "Diya." Diya is paid 
to the victim's family as part of punishment. Diya is an ancient form of 
restitution for the victim or his family. The family also may seek to have a 
public execution of the offender or the family may seek to pardon the offender. 
Traditional Qesas crimes include:  
        1. Murder (premeditated and non-premeditated).  
        2. Premeditated offences against human life, short of murder.  
        3. Murder by error.  
        4. Offences by error against humanity, short of murder. 
      Some reporters in the mass media have criticized the thought of "blood 
money" as barbaric. They labelled the practice as undemocratic and inhumane. 
Qesas crimes are based upon the criminological assumption of retribution. The 
concept of retribution was found in the first statutory "Code of Hammurabi" and 
in the Law of Moses in the form of "an eye for an eye." Muslims add to that 
saying "but it is better to forgive." Contemporary common law today still is 
filled with the assumptions of retribution. The United States federal code 
contains "mandatory minimum" sentences for drug dealing, and many states have 
fixed punishment for drugs and violence and using weapons. The United States 
justice system has adopted a retribution model which sets fixed punishments for 
each crime. The idea of retribution is fixed in the U.S. system of justice. 
Qesas crime is simple retribution: if one commits a crime he knows what the 
punishment will be. 
      Diya has its roots in Islamic Law and dates to the time of the Prophet 
Mohammad when there were many local families, tribes and clans. They were 
nomadic and travelled extensively. The Prophet was able to convince several 
tribes to take a monetary payment for damage to the clan or tribe. This 
practice grew and now is an acceptable solution to some Qesas crimes.  

      Today, the Diya is paid by the offender to the victim if he is alive. If 
the victim is dead, the money is paid to the victim's family or to the victim's 
tribe or clan. The assumption is that victims will be compensated for their 
loss. Under common law, the victim or family must sue the offender in a civil 
tort action for damages. Qesas law combines the process of criminal and civil 
hearings into one, just as the "civil law" is applied in many nations of the 
world. Qesas crimes are compensated as restitution under common law and civil 
law.  

      The Qesas crimes require compensation for each crime committed. Each 
nation sets the damage before the offence and the judge then fixes the proper 
Diya. If an offender is too poor to pay the Diya, the family of the offender is 
called upon first to make good the Diya for their kin. If the family is unable 
to pay, the community, clan or tribe may be required to pay. This concept is 
not found in common law or the civil law of most nations. It acts as a great 
incentive for family and community to teach responsible behaviour. What happens 
to the debt if the offender dies and has not paid it? Historically, it was 
passed on to the offender's heirs. Today, most nations terminate the debt if 
the offender left no inheritance.  

      One question that is often raised is "What happens if a victim takes the 
Diya without government approval?" The victim or family has committed a Tazir 
crime by accepting money which was not mandated by a judge: taking Diya must be 
carried out through proper governmental and judicial authority.  

      Another concept of Qesas crimes is the area of punishment. Each victim 
has the right to ask for retaliation and, historically, the person's family 
would carry out that punishment. Modern Islamic law now requires the government 
to carry out the Qesas punishment. Historically, some grieving family member 
may have tortured the offender in the process of punishment. Now the government 
is the independent party that administers the punishment, because torture and 
extended pain is contrary to Islamic teachings and Shar'iah Law.  

      Conclusions 
      Contemporary treatment of Islamic Law and "Radical Muslims" is filled 
with stereotypical characterizations. Some in the Western media have used the 
"New York City bombings" as a way to increase hate and prejudice. They have 
taken the views of a few radicals and projected them onto all Muslims. This 
action has done a great disservice to the Muslim world. Some academic writings 
also have been distorted and not always completely accurate and some 
researchers have concluded that Islamic Law requires a fixed punishment for all 
crimes. These writers also have concluded that Islamic judges lack discretion 
in their sentences of defendants in the Shar'iah Court System. There are four 
Hadd crimes that do have fixed punishments set forth in the Qur'an, but not all 
the Hadd crimes are bound by mandatory punishment.  
      Islamic Law is very different from English Common Law or the European 
Civil Law traditions. Muslims are bound to the teachings of the Prophet 
Mohammad whose translation of Allah or God's will is found in the Qur'an. 
Muslims are held accountable to the Shar'iah Law, but non-Muslims are not bound 
by the same standard (apostasy from Allah). Muslims and non-Muslims are both 
required to live by laws enacted by the various forms of government such as tax 
laws, traffic laws, white collar crimes of business, and theft. These and many 
other crimes similar to Common Law crimes are tried in modern "Mazalim Courts." 
The Mazalim Courts can also hear civil law, family law and all other cases. 
Islamic Law does have separate courts for Muslims for "religious crimes" and 
contemporary non-religious courts for other criminal and civil matters.
