Book description: "Code of Hammurabi": Code of Hammurabi or laws of Hammurabi are from the oldest laws recorded in history. It was enacted by the Babylonian king Hammurabi in the 18th century BC, and consists of 282 laws. Hammurabi set standards of behavior in his empire in Mesopotamia. It is worth mentioning that these laws were engraved on a seven and a half foot column of diorite, and include property rights, criminal behavior, slavery, and divorce, as well as harsh punishments for violators. These laws contributed to defining the shape of Babylonian life during Hammurabi's era, but they influenced the entire ancient world for more than a thousand years. Here are some of the laws in this code: 1- If a man accuses another man of murder and it is not proven (against him), the accused shall be sentenced to death. 2- If a man accuses another man of practicing magic and it is not proven (against him), the accused must go to the sacred river and jump in. If the river overcomes him, the accused shall take and keep the house of the accused. If the sacred river proves him innocent (of the accusation) and he returns safely, the one who accused him of practicing magic shall be killed, and the one who jumped into the river shall take and keep the house of the accused. 3- If a man comes forward to testify in a felony but his statements are not proven, that man shall be killed if the case is first-degree. 4- If he comes forward to testify in favor of a claim involving money or grains, he remains liable to the same punishment if his testimony (is false). 5- If a judge examines a case and issues an enforceable ruling on a sealed tablet, then later changes his judgment, that judge shall be condemned for changing his ruling and must pay twelve times the amount to the plaintiff, and be removed from the judiciary council. He shall not sit in judgment with the other judges (again)... 78- If a man rents a house to another man and the tenant pays the full rent for a year to the landlord, then the landlord tells the tenant "vacate the house" after the rental period ends, the landlord shall be fined the money paid because he caused the tenant to leave the house before the end of the rental period... 148- If a master marries a woman and she contracts a fever, if he decides to marry another woman, he can do so without the need for divorce from his feverish wife, who will continue to live in the house he built, and he must continue to care for her as long as she remains alive. 149- But if the feverish wife refuses to live in her husband's house, she shall be compensated for her dowry brought from her father's house, and she can then leave him... 162- When a man obtains a wife and she bears him children, then by the decree of the gods, her father has no right to claim her dowry because her dowry has become the property of her children. 163- If a man acquires a wife and the gods decree it, and she does not give him children, he has no right to claim her dowry because it has now become the property of her father's house. This is if her father-in-law has returned the marriage expenses paid by the husband to his father-in-law... [..] The number of laws in the Code of Hammurabi totals 282, covering all aspects of life. In addition to the Code of Hammurabi, there are many treaties that vary in content but share the same features. This book includes some of those eternal covenants in the historical heritage, and they came alongside the Code of Hammurabi as follows: 2- The Ten Commandments: They are the Jewish Mosaic relics, prominent in Jewish-Christian heritage, engraved by Moses on the tablets of the law on Mount Horeb. They are considered "the summary of basic laws of human conduct," and Jews and Christians refer to them to learn how to behave morally. The tablets of the law were kept inside a box called the Ark of the Covenant, placed inside a tent called the Tent of Meeting, which the Israelites carried with them wherever they settled. Later, the Ark was moved to Solomon's Temple during the monarchy in Judah after its construction, and was destroyed with the temple during the Babylonian captivity. However, the contents of the tablets were preserved in the Torah written in the Book of Exodus chapter (20), and in the Book of Deuteronomy chapter (5). 3- The City Charter: It was established by the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, as a covenant governing the community of Medina, including the Ansar, the Migrants, and the Jews all together. 4- The Magna Carta: An English document, adopted as law in 1225 AD, and the version issued in 1927 remains part of the internal regulations of England and Wales to this day. This version has been described as the Magna Carta of freedoms in England and the Forest Liberties. The Magna Carta had a strong historical impact, especially during the English Civil War. 5- The United Nations Charter. 6- The Universal Declaration of Human Rights. 7- The Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.
