Summary, etc. Passed by a recognized authority, a fatwa is considered as the ultimate decision which followers of Islam are expected to abide. In the book, The World of Fatwas Or The Sharia In Action, the author gives a detailed view into the world of fatwas.<br/><br/>Every law or decree has a tremendous impact on the people it is imposed on. Similarly, fatwas have had tremendous impact on Islamic followers since generations. The author probes into the political, social and religious contexts of fatwas along with their implications. with a number of fatwas listed in his book, he investigates the reasons as to why women are considered as the ultimate source of pain and distress in Islam. The book also explores the reasons that made cow slaughtering a great act in the name of Islam but which ironically has no traces in the holy Quran.<br/><br/>The author compels Islamic believers to probe into the hidden meanings and implications of these fatwas and the urgent need of the followers to adapt to the changing times. The World of Fatwas Or The Sharia In Action is a well-researched book, meant not only for the believers of Islam but also for interested non-believers.
