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.

Grief is a multi-faceted response to loss. Although primarily focused on the emotional reaction to loss, it also carries a physical, cognitive, behavioral, social, and philosophical connotation. Doctor Elisabeth Kübler-Ross introduced the idea of the stages of grief in her 1969 book, On Death and Dying.

In the Laws of Absence, Ahmed El-Madini introduces the readers to grief and mourning in the Islamic culture. Through this journey with the narrator, the readers realize that despite cultural and chronological differences, human nature is essentially the same in regards to coming to terms with loss.

... I have already mentioned above, Algos comprise the least part of the population of the Republic of Jarth, so there is a great chance that even in the Parliament their quantity will be less represented in comparison with the other ethnic groups. We are also aware that the party in which the members of the Algo will most likely support will not be able to convince the rest to introduce the law in the form we desire for it to be. For that reason, it is why it will be better for Algos if the law could be reviewed by the judges (maybe even become a subject to change) and not be introduced without doubt, like it always happens under parliamentary sovereignty.

There is actually no one document called the Sharia. Sharia is just the name encompasses all Islamic law. When Muslims need a document to look to they will look to the Koran. The law has been interpreted by Muslim scholars over time. The Muslim people respect Sharia law very much so, and are interested in preserving it’s teachings. Sharia law is has it’s own full functioning court system, with ways to punish perpetrators, and appeal cases, as well as providing guidelines for how to live a proper Muslim life style.
