LOVE before SHARIA

LOVE before SHARIA

The world begun because of love.

Then Man came into existence. Man was made with love, hewn from this simple chemistry that made us assume the image of the Creator. This love that made Hawa strike Adam as the “bone of my bone”, passed down from mother to children. This same bond the devil has envied and has tried many fond moments to destroy. Now we fail to understand that before man was, Love was.

Man, after Eden, promoted peace and order, and the only way we knew how was to govern ourselves with laws that forbade us to do or forced us to do some things. These laws were helpful, they still are but with the pertinent hunger and thirst for power, the laws rule without a heart to guide it.

Should the laws state that any crime doer must be burnt to a stake or an adulteress be molested to death or a thief be lynched with boiling bitumen, the very instant the crime is committed, what justice are we really serving the victims who may be innocent and to the culprits, what room for repentance do we really offer them?

Such extremisms in our laws are the primary national security and human rights concern of the world today.

It is firstly the primary motivator of acts of terrorism worldwide. Secondly, as extremists gain power and rule, human rights abuses – including oppression of women and religious minorities as well as governmental tyranny, sectarian warfare, sexuality and bigotry, all these are inherent in our sharia law.

We must not conform to the standards of these laws but rather be transformed by the renewal of our minds. We are not made for the laws, therefore, we must learn to let love rule because that is the only way the laws can be fulfilled.

Sharia is law, Love is Justice!
