All praise is due to Allah. May peace and blessings be upon His Messenger Muhammad, his family and companions. The content of this publication is an English version of the proceedings of the Seminar on “The Effect of Islamic Legislation on Crime Prevention in Saudi Arabia”, held in Riyadh, Capital city of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, from 9 to 13 October 1976. The papers reflect the ideas of Islam on the issue of preventing crime based on the Islamic Law.
Bangladesh Islamic Law Research and Legal Aid Centre is decisively working for disseminating knowledge on Islamic Law and the judiciary in the society. The Centre is a registered research and legal aid organization, working since 1995 for the above purpose. The Centre publishes the original writings, research works, translation of important original text of famous works and seminar proceedings, which are used as references for teachers, students, researchers, jurists, lawyers and thinkers.
The Centre is going to publish this compilation of the selected articles focusing the issue of crime prevention in Islam. The compilation will, as we think, go a long way to create awareness among all citizens regarding the importance and necessity of the Islamic Shariah Code on crime prevention, which is undoubtedly a crucial need of the day.
We believe that the subject matter of this book will be able to adequately address the aims and goals as well as meet the demand of the truth seekers. Every scholar has the right to propagate the knowledge on Islamic legislation to all people. Through this they can help make the human society free from delinquency and crime, which afflict the humanity in the modern days to an unprecedented degree in human history.
Finally, we hope that once the teachings of this book are taken into account sincerely by the policy makers it will create an opportunity for them and all other peace loving people throughout the world in tackling the problem of delinquency and crime wave in modern society in a pragmatic manner. And then, we believe that, the Islamic legislation will be regarded as the main source of peace and welfare to humanity.
We believe that the concerned scholars will find in this book the answers to their query in this field. Moreover, the book may awaken the stakeholders and concerned people to rethink about the necessity of establishing the Islamic Law on crime prevention to have a peaceful and crime free society.
We are thankful to all concerned individuals for publishing this book. May Allah reward them properly in this world and hereafter. May Allah grant us mercy and accept this humble contribution in the cause of Islam.
