A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Concept of Islamic Law (Shari’a)

The concept of Islamic Law (Shari’a) is the divine legal framework derived from the Qur’an, Sunnah, Ijma (consensus), and Qiyas (analogical reasoning). Mastering its sources, principles, and the distinction between Shari’a and its implementation (fiqh) is essential for understanding how Islamic jurisprudence governs personal and public matters in Nigeria.
