I am a muslim and this morning I was talking to my dad about sharia law, my dad thinks the sharia law could do with some modernizing nothing major but the scholars could get together read throught the hadith and quran and change minor things such as the stoneing penalties forgiveness is mentioned much more times in the quran than punishment, what do u think?

this would not mean changing the quran like the bible has the old testimant and new testimant no way, it would mean, reading in to the meaning more and looking at the different ways they could be interperated.

Al Quran is the holy book.
Hadith are tales not necessarily sanctioned by Allah. If Al Quran and the hadith differ on a situation, The Quran is always to be preferred.
I have not been able to find in the Quran were Allah directly condones or supports stoning. If you would be so kind as to point out in The Quran where such a thing can be found, i would appreciate it.
Since we humans are the ones affected by these laws, we will continue to talk about the
changes that are needed. When these things are left exclusively to the so-called experts ordinary folk usually are burned and stoned for absolutely no valid reason at all.
Thanks, have a pleasant day.

There are muslims who say American Law is not different from the sharia law. It has civil rights and equality.

The Shariah law cannot be changed.
It is open to interpretation though.
This is for learned scholars of Islam to discuss. Not your dad or kids on Yahoo! Answers. lol
Take care.

ok i guess it's not that simple
cuz muslims are belive in defferent ways
so
they will not choose one thing
and
they may fight for the best way
and it would be difficult to them
i dona know
i hope so
but
i don't think it would happen soon
