Islamic law is a particularly instructive example of "sacred law".
       Islamic law is a phenomenon so different from
       all other forms of law—notwithstanding, of course,
       a considerable and inevitable number of coincidences
5     with one or the other of them as far as subject matter
       and positive enactment are concerned—that its study
       is indispensable in order to appreciate adequately
       the full range of possible legal phenomena. Even the
       two other representatives of sacred law that are historically and
10   geographically nearest to it, Jewish law and Roman
       Catholic canon law, are perceptibly different.
       Both Jewish law and canon law are more uniform
       than Islamic law. Though historically there is
       a discernible break between Jewish law of the sovereign
15    state of ancient Israel and of the Diaspora (the dispersion
       of Jewish people after the conquest of Israel), the spirit
       of the legal matter in later parts of the Old Testament
       is very close to that of the Talmud, one of the primary
       codifications of Jewish law in the Diaspora. Islam, on the
20   other hand, represented a radical breakaway from the
       Arab paganism that preceded it; Islamic law is the result of
       an examination, from a religious angle, of legal subject matter
       that was far from uniform, comprising as it did the various
       components of the laws of pre-Islamic Arabia and
25   numerous legal elements taken over from the non-Arab
       peoples of the conquered territories. All this was unified
       by being subjected to the same kind of religious scrutiny,
       the impact of which varied greatly, being almost
       nonexistent in some fields, and in others originating novel
30   institutions. This central duality of legal subject matter
       and religious norm is additional to the variety of legal,
       ethical, and ritual rules that is typical of sacred law.
       In its relation to the secular state, Islamic law differed
       from both Jewish and canon law. Jewish law was
35   buttressed by the cohesion of the community, reinforced
       by pressure from outside; its rules are the direct
       expression of this feeling of cohesion, tending toward
       the accommodation of dissent. Canon and Islamic law,
       on the contrary, were dominated by the dualism of religion and
40   state, where the state was not, in contrast with Judaism,
       an alien power but the political expression of the same
       religion. But the conflict between state and religion took
       different forms; in Christianity it appeared as the struggle
       for political power on the part of a tightly organized
45   ecclesiastical hierarchy, and canon law was one of its
       political weapons. Islamic law, on the other hand, was
       never supported by an organized institution; consequently,
       there never developed an overt trial of strength. There
       merely existed discordance between application of the
50   sacred law and many of the regulations framed by Islamic
       states; this antagonism varied according to place and time.
