Rahmah
in
the Shari'ah
Mokhtar
Maghraoui In this session,
the shari'ah is discussed within the context of the two dominant
attributes of Allah: His grace and His mercy. Are love, compassion
and mercy foundational aspects of the shari'ah? At the Islamic
Circle of North America annual convention in Atlanta, Mokhtar
Maghraoui reminds the audience that Allah has made rahmah mandatory
upon Himself. How then is this rahmah manifested in the Islamic
law? And how is the concept of rahmah reconciled with the laws
of punishment for murder, theft and adultery? At a time when
extremism and intolerance are perceived to be the normative Muslim
view, and when many Muslims themselves are ignorant of the true
Islamic teachings, a serious and objective look is needed at
the concept of rahmah in Islam. Discover exactly how Allah intends
ease and facilitation, not complication and difficulty with His
system of law and how Islam is, indeed, a mercy to all the worlds.
