Judiciary and Legal System: The gradual process of Islamization of the judicial system and law started on 12 Rabi-ul-Awwal 1399 AH (Feb. 10, 1979) followings important steps were taken: Islamic penalties were imposed on the crimes like drinking, stealing, adultery and false allegation of adultery.
A Federal Shariat Court was established at Federal level, its status was equal to that of the High Courts. Ulama and the experts of Islamic jurisprudence were appointed as judge at this Court. Un-Islamic practices in the court procedures were abolished.
Feeling that the successful implementation of the Islamic law cannot be made possible without the help of experts trained especially for this purpose, a Shari’ah Faculty and an Islamic University was established in Islamabad. Qazi classes were in the institutions of religious learning.
