About the Book
Transparency and participation of various sections of the society or their representatives in the formulation of any law increases the chances of its acceptance and implementation. The vastness and diversity in the scope of human life has also made it important that every law should be made to be coherent with all other laws as a whole. From the perspective of Islam, not only the legal structure, but the entire state system is created in the light of the Qur’an and Sunnah to achieve the ‘goals of the Shariah’, which include the protection of religion and faith, the protection of human life and honor, and the protection of reason, protection of genealogy and protection of property. In this sense, this point becomes of key importance in the legislation for any community of Muslims. Consisting of eight chapters, this book clarifies how the non-seriousness of the members of parliament affects legislation and its implementation. The second chapter specifically discusses women’s protection law. In the next three chapters, the laws made on various topics in the context of natural calamities, security of human life and law and order situation are discussed. Chapter six deals with discriminatory decisions based on violation of merit and injustice. While the last two chapters are related to commenting on some important events in the field of diplomacy, the behavior of the media and the government’s attitude towards them. This is the tenth book of IPS Press’ series Armughan-e-Khurshid, which contains speeches and articles of Professor Khurshid Ahmad. The series also includes the following publications:
