The contemporary situation in much of the Muslim world suggests to us that, while teachings on ibadat (ritual worship, including prayer, fasting, zakat, hajj) have been faithfully conveyed to many of us by our Imams, instruction in the other category of Islamic law, mu’amalat (civil transactions and social interactions), has generally been given less attention. This has led to shortcomings in the Muslim world, especially in the context of our duty to provide an exemplary moral example for the rest of humanity.
