Sharia means “the Islamic Law” – how to live according to the Muslim teachings. I have devoted my life to this. I’m a judge with the Islamic Sharia Council, which was set up in 1982 to guide the UK community on Islamic-related matters.
All its scholars and judges are graduates of the Islamic universities throughout Muslim lands, or graduates from dar al uloom, the private institutions that teach Islam in India and Pakistan.
