Abstract

The primary scriptures of Muslims are the Quran that are viewed by them as words of God for the teaching of human being. The Quran provides general concept for Muslim in all parts of their life and the normative examples of it is presented as Sunnah which is called Hadith. The Sunnah comprises of religious behaviour and quotations of Prophet Mohammad S.A.W. and the Imams (which is different between the belief of Shia and Sunni). In order to interpret Sharia law, the Quran is used along with reliable Hadith. There are other sources of Sharia based on different schools of Islam which are not considered in this book. The authors try to provide general Islamic concept which is acceptable by most Muslims. Muslims believe that all concepts are mentioned in the Quran directly and indirectly. In the case of job security and temporary contract, there is no direct mention in the Quran and Hadith. Reference in this chapter is more on the principles of normal contract of employment but it is argued here that the principles are applicable to temporary contracts as well. The authors find the guidance for good template of job security and temporary contract based on Islamic concept which is gained from the Quran and Hadith.
