Formation and Working of Federal Shari’at Court in Pakistan
Abstract
Pakistan was created in the name of Islam with the ideology that future constitution of the country would enable the Muslims of the sub-continent to live their lives according to the teachings of Islam. Article 2-A of the present Constitution states that “The principles and provisions set out in the Objectives Resolution are a substantive part of the Constitution”. Article 227 further ensures that “All existing laws shall be brought in conformity with the injunctions of Islam as laid down in the Qur’an and the Sunnah of the Prophet (Peace be upon Him)”. At present Federal Shari’at Court (FSC) has been given the responsibility to decide and examine the question whether or not any law and provision of law is repugnant to the injunctions of Islam as laid down in the Qur’an and the Sunnah. This research deals with the organization and functioning of FSC and its role in the Islamization of legislation.
