Summary
This Bayan presents a paper delivered at the Nusantara Shafi'i Scholars Conference in Brunei in 2019. Justice is defined as giving each matter to the one who has the right to it, while sharia covers worship, family, crime, transactions and governance. Historical examples from the rule of Caliph Umar al-Khattab and Umar bin Abdul Aziz are given to show how Islamic law secured justice and security, including in land taxation and the handling of the Samarkand complaint.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Lipatan sejarah Islam telah menyaksikan betapa sistem perundangan Islam telah menjamin keadilan dan keamanan bagi segenap lapisan rakyat dan masyarakat.
