Legal Rule in Religious Laws

Abstract

This research addresses the legal principles in the revealed laws of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, as well as the customs of pre-Islamic Arabs. It explores the origins of Jewish and Christian laws, their similarities and differences in marriage and divorce systems, and unique characteristics of each law. It also discusses the Islamic legal principles and how they interacted with pre-Islamic tribal customs in the Arabian Peninsula, including acceptance or rejection of certain customs. This is illustrated by examining various legal models. The aim of this research is to show how religious laws and tribal customs contributed to the formation of legal principles and how these principles were influenced by economic, social, and political changes throughout history. It highlights historical laws such as those of Mesopotamia and their influence on other civilizations like the Pharaonic and Roman, and how they contributed to the development of legal systems. The research seeks to demonstrate the importance of revealed laws and ancient customs in organizing public life and their historical development and role as a source of laws across different eras.
