Hello friend this the introduction to the Muslim Law in India. This blog is only regarding study material of law.
Introduction:
Islam
means “Submission to the will of God and establishment of peace”. Muslim law
had its origin in Arabia, where the Prophet Muhammad started it and the
Mohammadan invaders
brought the religion in India.
In
India, the term Muslim Law applies to the personal matters concerning the
section of the Indian society following the Islam religion. Hence the Muslim
personal law governs the institutions of marriage and divorce, adoption,
succession and charity in the Indian Islamic Community. Muslim personal law in
India is largely uncodified. It is not based on laws made by the legislature.
Prophet
Muhammad had proclaimed Muslim law to be the commandment of the God – Allah, so
most Muslims adhere to it strictly. It dictates several religious and legal
activities of Muslims.
The
Muslim law or Islam law or the Law of Allah is a part of family law. It is a
personal law applied by Courts in regard to the family matters when the parties
are Muslims. Muslim law is called Sharia in Arabic. Muslim Law in general draws
no distinction between religious life and secular life.
