Muslim Law and Islamic Jurisprudence has been a known subject among the legal experts as well as students of law at home and aborad. It has been a compulsory subject for all law students both in Public and Private Universities of home and abroad. In fact, Muslim law may mean the law made by Muslim and non-Muslim while Islamic law may mean law made of shariahtic authority - that is al Quran and al Sunnah.
The books on Muslim law available in the market are mostly authored by foreign writers that grossly ignored its Islamicity as these have been based on legal writing, edicts or fatwa and case laws that deprived the learners from seeing its primary basis - that is al Quran and al sunnah and Ijtihad. Hence, the speciality of this book 1stly is the application of both primary, secondary and additional secondary sources Islam. 2ndly, it covered the topic on Islamic jurisprudence,
Muslim family law and Muslim law of property. 3rdly, it made a comparative approah where ever applicable, in particular the personal law HIindu, Christain and Jews. 4thly, it followed syllabus/course contents as provided by all law departments of public and private universities and law colleges in particular the university of Dhaka, Rajshahi and Islamic university Kustia. 5thly, it made a substantial dicussion on statutory laws as provided by the states and 6thly, it applied transliteration format for Arabic terms unlike any other book of the same. It is expected that, inclusion of all those aspects would make the book special and unique one to be subscribed. In fact, this is the 8th academic book of the author meant for tertiary level of studies.
