[quote]Dear Waseem; my Bro in Islam

your Q was: "Is Shariah absolute for all times or it can evolve or modify with time?"

My Answer is: Yes, The Sharee'ah; Given by GOD Himself via Pro. Muhammad (pbuh) in shape of Quran & Sunnah is absolute for All Times & It cannot be Evolved or Modied.
Just to understand my pt. here is r some Examples:
Prayers: their no.(5), their timings etc.
Fasting: Its Month (Ramadan), Sahr o Iftar etc.
& So On

Your Quote: "I am asking in referance to issues like surah Nissa quoting punishment for a wife and its three stages. The last stage would be deemed against the law in a non islamic country and at present would seem inaplicable in society. Similarly; the issue of slaves women and having permisisble relations with them."

well in this Particular Example, I personaly think that your understanding of the Aayah needs some improvement & that is:
The Punishment that a Husband has been Allowed to Give His Wife is NOT a Such Act that can (or Shud) become a Police case. It does NOT mean that a Husband has the Liecense to Break Legs/Arms of his Wife. He can NOT harm ANY PART of her BODY thru his Punishment. If he DOES SO, he shud be given punishment (according to his Fault) by the Judge/Court.
This Punishment is JUST LIKE a punishment of Father for Kids OR of Teacher for Students etc. though these r against the LAW too in Some Countries.
But this is Aplicable in All type of Socities. I wud like to ask another Q that WHY Husbands try to Reach the Stage of Punishment SO Early? Have they Shown the Proper PATIENCE??? Have they TRIED to LIVE with them in THAT good way which is Described Some Verses b4 the Verse of Punishment i.e. (4:19). Plz read the LAST HALF of the Verse
& Why NOT Husbands FOLLOW (or EVEN try to follow) the "USWA" of our Beloved Prophet in this Regard? How Many Times He needed to Punish any of His Wives?

if NOT then WHY US? Why we Take it as "Granted" & why not we take it as an "Extreme Stage" that may be  NEED of ONLY One Husband out Of a Million. Why it is a Need of Almost every 2nd Husband if Not Everyone?

& Last but NOT the Least, Why do a "Powerful" Hussy not think wile Punishing his wife that he's Doing SO to a "Sinf e Nazuk" poor & weak lady???

Sorry to say BUT let me mention Here that I've NEVER try to USE my this Authority in Last 14 years, & in sha Allah will never NEED/TRY to Use it in Future, Despite the FACT that we're POLES APART in MOST of our living Styles/Prefrences etc.

in sha Allah I'll Discuss the Other Example in near Future.[/quote]
