Introduction
The whole point of Islamic interpretation is to achieve understanding about God's will and what He
wants. We can strongly know such has been achieved if Islamic interpretation is certain and strong. This
strength and certainty is achieved by being able to create and establish a coherent consistent rational
functional model and framework of belief system and law. Traditional Islam despite their interpretive
differences have achieved this and it exists in that heritage. Liberal interpretation has made Islam like an
ugly and dirty buffet, everything chaotic, inconsistent and the underlying themes are inconsistencies and
incoherence and above all impotence and non-functional Islam.
To achieve Shariah law, the Islamic society and the Islamic character through correct understanding of
God we must start by a simple belief that Islam works. Through this simple spark Islam can create
correct belief, correct thought, correct behavior and correct emotion depending on the extent of
understanding of Islam and textual adherence as Islam provides a detailed and exhaustive psychology
blueprint for humanity. This will spill over affecting our collective existence such as politics, law,
economy etc. thereby affecting collective Islamization and in the process helping us to think about
ourselves, teach us to present ourselves to others, teach us about how to approach others’ thinking
about us, help us become more aware about ourselves, the Ummah and the greater society, teach us
how to interpret social information through constructing perspectives and lastly teach us to think about
and evaluate others. As a consequence, we will be guided to become better society, better family,
better government, better employee, better citizen, better international player and a better person
spiritually and morally and ultimately victory in the hereafter.
Unfortunately given the psychological and social conditions Muslims are in, this writing that explains
the nature of jurisprudence, Islamic society, Islamic character and God, is hopelessly unachievable, but
history is the witness to how insignificant things became great such as the example of Islamic revolution
of Iran 1979. We need to invoke God’s ever imminent help.
This writing summarizes the core concepts and norms of Islam from jurisprudence, society, character
and divinity. Today as the common people became so busy and distracted, to help them quickly get an
overall but broad understanding of Islam this writing has been undertaken. These summaries overall
consist of 20 pages much shorter than the combined overall 400+ pages of articles/books.

exploitation which is sustained at the expense of
life, morals, health and the people.

5. In the Islamic society economic productivity such as

Speed must not harm health and consume the life
of the labor like a slave labor. Quality must be same
as advertised and must not substandard. Quantity
must take into consideration need vs wastage.
Labor must be paid fairly and must have work life
balance. Economic productivity must not thus
violate human rights of Islam and must not harm
the morals of society and the environment.

schemes on loan with profit/loss sharing loan.
