Belief Quote by Sadakat Kadri

“The Shari'a itself - this is possibly a kind of verbal debate - is understood to be something different from the Fiqh, and the Fiqh is the man-made element and the Shari'a is theoretically the divine element but it depends on one's personal beliefs.” quote by Sadakat Kadri — Download Open image
