The Islamic origins of English common law Book: The Islamic Origins of English Common Law Author: John A. Moudasi Translation: Dr. Mustafa Bashir Al-Trabulsi The translator says: In this article, Professor Moudasi did not only prove the Islamic origin of trial by a jury as in English common law, but also proved that the claim of debt, and the claim of possession (habitation) as a type of ownership in English common law, both trace back to Islamic jurisprudence! He also proved that these three rulings were taken from the Maliki school, which was the school followed by the judiciary in Sicily after the Muslims conquered it and remained there for four centuries, and after the Normans invaded the island and took control of it, some of them transferred these laws to England. The value of this article lies in the fact that its author is a law professor, and moreover, he is a non-Muslim, who addressed the issue of the origins of these three laws objectively and impartially, favoring their return to Islamic jurisprudence, contrary to those who preceded him, who traced their origins to Roman law without credible evidence. He also pointed out that this matter requires further efforts by researchers. The book is bound in reinforced cartoon cover - cream-colored Shamua paper - and consists of 207 pages.
