Shari‘ah haizuiliwi tu kwenye maeneo yanayohusu talaka au ndoa. Inashughulikia uhusiano wa mwanadamu na Allah (swt), nafsi yake mwenyewe, na watu wengine. Zaidi ya hayo, inashughulikia pia njia ya kutekeleza kanuni hizi, kwani kutekeleza kanuni yoyote kunahitaji kuwa na ujuzi wa hali husika, kanuni yenyewe, na njia ya kuitekeleza.

The Shari‟ah is not only limited to areas covering divorce or marriage. It covers Man‟s relationship with Allah (swt), with himself, and other people. In addition, to the method for applying these rules, implementing any rule requires having the knowledge of the situation, the rule and the method.

Kwa mfano, kuna kanuni ya jumla katika Uislamu kwamba mkono wa mwizi unapaswa kukatwa. Hata hivyo, ikiwa mtu ataiba chakula akiwa na njaa, basi kanuni hii ya jumla haitumiki katika hali hii mahususi. Kwa hiyo, ni wajibu kuwa na elimu ya jinsi na wakati wa kutumia kanuni.

As an example, there is a general principle in Islam that a thief‟s hand should be cut off. However, if the individual steals food while hungry then this general principle is not applied in this particular situation. Hence, it is obligatory to have the knowledge of how and when to apply a rule.

Matumizi mabaya ya Shari‘ah ni kutekeleza sheria za Kiislamu zinazohusu adhabu za Hudud huku ukitekeleza mfumo wa kiuchumi unaotegemea ubepari. Sheria za Kiislamu zinazohusu adhabu ziliteremshwa ili kulinda jamii ambayo Uislamu unatekelezwa ndani yake. Je, sheria za Kiislamu zinazohusu adhabu zinawezaje kutekelezwa pamoja na ubepari, ambao unastawi kwa kuwanyonya watu wengi? Na mtu anawezaje kuhalalisha adhabu ya Kiislamu ya kukatwa mkono wa mwizi wakati mwizi huyo yuko chini ya dhuluma ya ubepari?

A misapplication of the Shari‟ah is applying the Islamic laws related to Hudud (punishment) while at the same time implementing an economic system based on capitalism. Islamic laws related to punishment were revealed to protect the society in which Islam is being applied. How can the Islamic laws related to punishment be applied concurrently with capitalism, which thrives on exploiting the masses? How can anyone justify the Islamic punishment of cutting the hand of a thief while the thief is under the oppression of capitalism?

Adhabu ya kukatwa mkono wa mwizi inatokana na kulinda jamii ambayo mfumo wa Kiislamu unatumika ndani yake, mfumo ambao unahakikisha kwamba mahitaji ya msingi ya kila mtu katika Dola yanatimizwa.

The punishment of cutting off the hand of the thief is based upon protecting the society where the Islamic system is in application, a system which functions to see to it that the basic needs of every individual in the State are met.

Shari‟ah haipaswi kuonekana kama mzigo au kikwazo katika maisha yetu; bali ni rehema kutoka kwa Allah (swt). Sheria hizi lazima zieleweke kama sehemu ya Dini (mfumo kamili wa maisha) iliyoteremshwa na Muumba. Dini hii inahitaji imani thabiti kwamba Uislamu ndio suluhisho pekee la matatizo yetu; umetoka kwa Allah (swt), aliyetuumba, na hivyo anajua lililo bora kwetu.

The Shari‟ah should not be viewed as a burden or an obstacle in our lives; but rather, as a mercy from Allah (swt). These laws must be understood as part of the Deen (a comprehensive way of life) revealed by the Creator. This Deen requires a conviction that Islam is the only solution to our problems; it came from Allah (swt), who created us and thus knows what is best for us.

Hakuna sababu yoyote kwetu ya kutotii hukumu yoyote kutoka kwa Allah (SWT). Kama ilivyotajwa awali, tunafuata sheria za Kiislamu kwa sababu tu zinatoka kwa Allah (SWT), tofauti na sheria dhalimu za kibinadamu. Kwa hiyo, tunapaswa kujivunia, kufurahi, na kushukuru kwa kuwa Allah (SWT) ametuonyesha njia pekee sahihi ya kumtii Yeye (SWT).

There is no reason for us not to obey any ruling from Allah (swt). As mentioned earlier, we follow the Islamic laws just because they are from Allah (swt), in contrast to the oppressive man-made laws. Consequently, we should feel proud, happy, and grateful that Allah (swt) has shown us the only correct way to obey Him (swt).

Uislamu ni mfumo kamili na wenye muunganiko thabiti, hauwezi kutekelezwa kwa sehemu. Utekelezaji wa hukumu za Kiislamu zinazohusiana na uchumi unahitaji utekelezaji wa hukumu za Zakah, Nafaqah na Al-Jizyah, ambayo nayo inamaanisha utekelezaji wa mfumo wa kiuchumi.

Islam is a complete and thoroughly integrated unit that cannot be implemented partially. The implementation of the Islamic rules related to the economy necessitates the implementation of the rules of Zakah, Nafaqah, and Al-Jizyah, which in turn means the implementation of the economic system.

Utekelezaji wa mfumo wa kiuchumi unahitaji utekelezaji wa 'Ibadah, mfumo wa kijamii, kanuni zinazohusu Watu wa Kitabu, sera ya nje ya Kiislamu, na kanuni zinazohusu Khalifah, vyote kwa pamoja. Mfumo wa Kiislamu umeunganishwa; sehemu moja inasaidia utekelezaji wa sehemu nyingine.

The execution of the economic system requires the implementation of the „„Ibadah, social system, rules related to the People of the Book, Islamic foreign policy, and rules related to the Khaleefah all together. The Islamic system is inter-connected; one part helps the implementation of the other part.

Kutekeleza sehemu tu za Uislamu huku ukiacha nyingine husababisha machafuko, jambo ambalo linaonekana wazi leo. Kwa mfano, Allah (SWT) ameruhusu talaka kama suluhisho la tatizo, lakini leo talaka yenyewe imekuwa tatizo badala ya suluhisho, kutokana na matumizi yasiyo sahihi ya suluhisho hili hasa, na kutokana na Uislamu kwa ujumla.

Implementing only parts of Islam and leaving others results in chaos is evident today. For instance, Allah (swt) has permitted divorce to solve a problem, but today divorce itself is a problem rather than a solution due to the misapplication of this particular solution and Islam in general.
