Since Islamic Law (al-Shari’ah) is the epitome of the Religion of Islam, it is, therefore, to be conceived as the legal system which accommodates and assimilates, as far as possible, seemingly non-legal (in its technical connotation) principles, norms and values of the all-embracing way of life into its domain. It is here that lies the peculiarity of Islamic Law. In order to reveal this peculiarity, it necessitates, naturally, a new approach to be taken in such a way that the legal system of Islam, while remaining to be an integral body of the Religion as the way of life, amalgamates those seemingly non-legal principles, norms and values, and moulds them as the legally binding injunctions whose source of authority is Allah, The Lawgiver (al-Shari’).However, considering the fact that not all injunctions of Islam, as laid down, in the Qur’an and Sunnah are aptly expressible in legal statements, one should apply an approach through which the injunctions, are to be introduced to play their binding effects upon building a solid and sound basis for society, on which its legal system is based as the primary driving force. It is only through this process that the individuals as well as the societies concerned can attain salvation and prosperity in absolute state of equilibrium, the state which Divine Guidance aims at. Islam as the Divine way of life, having duly established an integrated background which buttresses and complements the vacuum(which might fall technically beyod the jurisdiction of the law proper), carries its all-embracing effects and dominating influence by means of comprehensive educatrion onto its legal system. The degree of effectiveness is enhancede as legalyy binding injunctions and through these injunctions, the comprehensive and integrated process of creating law-abiding individuals as well as societies in true felicity is concluded
Kur’an Prensiplerinin Şahitlik Bağlamında Hukuki Müeyyide Olma Gücüİslam Hukuku (Şeriat), İslam Dini’nin cevheri (çekirdeği) olduğundan; zahiren teknik manada hukukun ilgi alanı dışındaki dini prensiplerinin, değerlerinin de, mümkün mertebe yansıtıldığı bir hukuk sistemi olarak değerlendirilmelidir. Zira İslam’da otoritenin kaynağı, yani Kanun Koyucu (Şari) Allah Tealadır.En şamil manasıyla adaletin tesisi ve ircaı İslam’da ferdi ve toplumsal bir zarurettir, mesuliyettir. Şehadet (şahitlik) ise adaletin temininde temel bir unsurdur. Şehadet misalinden hareket ederek, iman-amel, dünya-ahiret bütünlüğü- bazında, İslam hukukunun bu müstesna hususiyeti, hukukun diğer alanlarında da yansıtılmalıdır
