Consequently, there is a need for research and new models that facilitate sustainable s

Sharialagarna är till stor del baserade på Koranen men också på sunna – dvs. profeten Muhammeds vanor och relOver the last decade, Sharia has become an intense subject of discussion. Especially considering the laws compatibility with the modern society we now are claiming to live in.
