A comparative study between Shafii Law and the administration of Muslim Law Enactment 1952 (repealed and re enacted by the Islamic Family Law Enactment, 1984) in Selangor regarding marriage and divorce

Islam is and should be professed and practised as adin or complete way of life. The aqidah (the belief), the law, the administration, the policies, the economy, education, culture and the whole set of social life must conform to Islamic values and teachings as ordained by Allah. Islamic law is a transcendental law that has a validity of its own quite distinct from that of any human legislature or judiciary because it challenges the obedience of ruler and subject, judge and litigant, counciller and citizen alike. It is regarded as a divine law, firmly founded on revelation of eternal divinity and so in theory is virtually immutable in its provisions. Islamic law also covers every aspect of life and every field of human behaviour with no distinction whatever in theory between the religious and the secular, between church and state.
