520	8		_aAnnotation. _bIn the 21st century, the expression, Shariah as in Shariah law and Shariah finance or Islamic banking is heard with increasing frequency (Hefner 2011, Sloane-White 2017). It is important to be clear on just what Shariah is, particularly since some Muslim activists are increasingly promoting it around the world. The prolific Western scholar of Islamic law, Joseph Schacht, oncedescribed the Shariah as "the core and kernel of Islam itself" (Schacht,1974:392). The concept appears obliquely in the Quran at verse45:18: Then We put thee on the (right) Way of Religion [Shariah]: so followthou that (Way), and follow not the desires of those who know not. This passage underpins the common Muslim claim that Shariah law is divinely sourced, fixed and immutable, a gift to humanity from Allah, designed to show Muslims how to live and govern correctly. Of course, there are different schools of legal interpretation. By the middle of the eighth century A.D., several had emerged in theMuslim Abbasid Empire. Of these, four survived among majority Sunni Muslims: the Hanafite, Malikite, Shafiite, and Hanbalite schools, the last being the most conservative/literalist. Further schools emerged among the minority Shiite Muslims, and several are in play today, as explained in Anthony McRoys paper on The Iranian Church under the Shadow of Shia Shariah.
