The true #Sharia in the Qur’an Is there an Islamic country in the world today that meets these definitions of the Sharia of the Qur’an? Of course not; this Sharia has not been applied since the time of our Prophet (pbuh). The countries that say they are governed under Sharia law apply the Sharia of a fanatical faith that various violent groups impose in the name of Islam. They adopt various untrue hadiths as their guides, but abandon the Qur’an. In the words of Turkish theologian Professor Yaşar Nuri Öztürk: “Why do they talk of ‘Sharia’ and not of Islam? Because if they speak of Islam they will have to prove their claims with the Qur’an. It is impossible for those who deceive in the name of God to find any proof for what they call their religion from the Qur’an. By referring to an issue as Sharia they can interpret it how they like, and when forced into a corner they produce a religion based on their own impositions, saying, ‘This is what the ulama [religious scholars] assert, this is consensus of the Muslim community, this is what our ancestors have decided and this is what Muslims have been doing for centuries.’ That conception, which is an effort to equate Sharia to Islam, is the one that aims to make its customs with numerous postulates, which have been understood to conflict with the Quran and time, into religion. This conception first equates Sharia with the faith and then puts forward some irrational laws not stemming from the Quran [but rather] existing in some outdated fiqh [Islamic jurisprudence] books as religion.” (Yaşar Nuri Öztürk, Allah ile Aldatmak [Deceiving About God], Yeni Boyut Press)
