Mukhtasar
(A Complete Muslim Study)
Mukhtasar, in Islamic law, refers to a concise handbook
of legal treatises, characterized by neatness and clarity.
Islamic law is now the most widely used religious law,
and one of the three most common legal systems of the
world alongside common law and civil law. During the Islamic
Golden Age, classical Islamic law may have influenced
the development of common law, and also influenced the
development of several civil law institutions. Law is
a system of rules, usually enforced through a set of institutions.
It shapes politics, economics and society in numerous
ways and serves as a primary social mediator of relations
between people. Legal systems elaborate rights and responsibilities
in a variety of ways. A general distinction can be made
between civil law jurisdictions, which codify their laws,
and common law systems, where judge made law is not consolidated.
Law provides a rich source of scholarly inquiry, into
legal
history, philosophy, economic analysis or sociology. Law
also raises important and complex issues concerning equality,
fairness and justice.
Mukhtasar originated during the Abbasid caliphate and
were created as a method to facilitate the quick training
of lawyers without the repetitiveness of lengthy volumes,
yet evolved into a mode of access into the fundamentals
of Islamic law for the educated layperson. Mamba Ul Uloom
is committed to demonstrating, through practice, teaching,
and the free exchange of ideas, Islam’s critical
role in the modern world. At the heart of their mission
is the Islamic legal, intellectual, and spiritual tradition,
which they believe to be derived from the Quran and the
words and deeds of the Prophet Muhammad. Mukhtasar is
a course which teaches all the Islamic concepts. |
