According to the legal theorist (Usulis), maslahah is the end result of the ruling. As the process of the derivation of the ruling is the process of Qiyas, the accepted attribute (wasf) will result to an accepted maslahah. Therefore, the maslahah is the result of the ruling as the ruling is the result of the ‘illah.
The authority given to the mufti does not entitled them to issue a fatwa based on their personal preference and inclination. Similarly, maslahah is not based on personal preference and inclination as well, since it is closely related and coincides with the objective of the Shariah. Consequently, the process of fatwa and the derivation of the ruling in new circumstances that has no basis either from the texts (nass, either Quran

In this statement, talaq and polygamy are prohibited; and later demand an equal treatment between male and female in inheritance, under the pretence of imaginary maslahah, despite their knowledge that this maslahah is contradicts with the texts (nass) and ijma’. In another case, the riba is permissible on the bank profits, or bank returns, and it is a safe mode for property investment. The argument is that the advanced fixed profit is similar to an Islamic bank product as the maslahah is for the increment of the capital provider’s property. All of these presumed maslahah is invalidated and void since it contradicts with the Islamic texts and ijma’.
One of the spirit of Islamic law is the deference towards maslahah. When the Lawgiver justifies the ruling, it provides guidance that the ruling is based on ‘illah that evolved with circumstances. This deference to the maslahah of the people on their daily activities is the basic foundation of Islamic law. This constitutes that the ruling is to be affected by its surroundings as well as the period that the issue arises. If there is conflict in the maslahah, the general maslahah prevails over the specific to prevent the larger harm with the smaller

It is divided into 4 key areas, laws relating to personal acts of worship, laws relating to commercial dealings, laws relating to marriage and divorce and penal laws. Compared to the 10 Commandments which is concise and simple, the Sharia Law is quite extensive and goes into personal matter such as hygiene, diet, dress code and sexual matters, whereas the 10 Commandment primarily cover ways to avoid sin. The 10 Commandments and the Sharia Law both condemn idolatry, murder, adultery, theft, the intentional desire and longing for immoral sexuality and the wanting or taking of someone’s property. The Qur’an has stated multiple punishments for not following the Sharia Law, these include beheading/crucifixion (Qur’an 5:33), flogging (Qur’an 24:2) and hellfire (Qur;an 40:70-72). This is different to the 10 Commandments as there are no punishments for not following the 10 Commandments. Although the 10 Commandments and the Sharia Law are two different aspects of the ethical dimension of Catholicism and Islam, through the evaluation of those ethical rules, there are a number of similarities and difference noted which link the two religions

One type of analytical perspective is the conflict perspective which is the belief that conflict is fundamental and social life and cannot ever be resolved completely. Where laws are tools used by the powerful to keep others and check and keep themselves in power. Law enforcements of social control simply keep those who are not powerful in check with the laws established by those in power. The pluralist perspective believes that within a complex society every different social group will have their own set beliefs, values, and interests. Despite these differences most groups will agree that laws are beneficial. For this perspective laws are a peacekeeping tool for officials to settle disputes amongst society. It is assumed that all parties will agree with the settlement as it agrees with society’s views that law is a fundamental part of settling disputes. Another perspective is the consensus perspective, in which most of society agrees on what is wrong and right and various elements of society work...
In every society around the world, the law is affecting everyone since it shapes the behavior and sense of right and wrong for every citizen in society. Laws are meant to control a society’s behavior by outlining the accepted forms of conduct.

The legal system runs more efficiently when people understand the laws they are intended to follow along with their legal rights and responsibilities.
The Islamic tradition, as reflected in Naguib Mahfouz’s Zaabalawi, has over the course of history had an incredible impact on Arab culture. In Mahfouz’s time, Islamic practices combined with their political relevance proved a source of both great power and woe in Middle Eastern countries. As alluded to in Zaabalawi, Mahfouz asserts the fact that not all Muslims attain religious fulfillment through this common tradition, and other methods outside the scope of Islam may be necessary in true spiritual understanding.
Over the years, different jurisdictions had built their specific system of rules of conduct to govern behaviour. These legal systems, influenced by historical and cultural roots, can be distinguished in two families, the Civil law and the Common law legal systems. The distinctions lies in the process in which each decision is make by the judge and on the legal sources that shapes the law. Indeed, by contrast to the Common law system, which is largely based on Precedents, meaning the decisions that have already been made by judges in similar cases, the Civil law system is based on legislator’s decisions and legal codes with which judges have to justify their judgment . Consequently, instead of referencing to concepts and rules

A certain type of religious law is Islamic law. The Koran is the basis for Islamic law. “The Koran sets down basic standards of human conduct, but does not provide a detailed law code.”(crf-usa.org) While Muhammad was alive, he claimed to have had a vision of the angel Gabriel while also hearing voices; for the remainder of his life Muhammad said he had visions where he could hear the words of God. Consequently Muhammad’s followers recorded what he said, writing the Koran. According to The Constitutional Rights Foundation website, Muhammad helped clarify the law by interpreting provisions in the Koran and acting as a judge in legal cases. Furthermore Islamic law, or Sharia law became an important part of the Muslim religion. Sharia most literally means “path” in Arabic, and guides all aspects of Muslim life. Sharia law followers will look to Sharia law for every aspect of their lives, whether it be who they should or should not invite over for dinner, or marry or how they should act in a certain situation. Muslims who recognize Sharia law to be the ultimate guide to their lives look to it for everything they need guidance or help with. It decides the way they live their lives.

Law is rationalized with evidence, cannot be used to manipulate a nation, protects and ensures the safety of the people, and is parallel with universal human morals. Although religion serves many purposes, it can neither serve nor be the things law encompasses; religious beliefs cannot come above the laws of a country because of their ambiguity and tendency to be manipulated.
