Interesting Observer.
I was also of the Hanafi Madhab.
I agree with you that shariah "worked", but I would disagree that it was a perfect system, for example due to the way that non-Muslims and women are treated as second-class citizens. I was actually HT for a bit and they had some interesting ideas about how shariah should be implemented in a 21st century, globalised society. Do you have any thoughts on how shariah should be implemented today?
In the system, from my knowledge, it is important to note the status of Muslims, who are dhimmis, Abassadors/consulates, Must’amin or mu'ahids.
It should be know who and what they are, and status they hold in society, because they disbelieve in Allah (SWT) and his Messenger (PBUH).
Despite their status, they must be treated fair.
As a Hadith states: he Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “He who hurts a dhimmi hurts me, and he who hurts me annoys Allah.”

As for my views on how Sharia is practise today. Well it isn't, not fully anyway.
Many look to Saudi Arabia has the 'Home of Islam'. Which is ironic, considering it is ruled over by a family monarchy.

Not really, if they were both authentic, then I would deduce the belief is contradictory & therefore manmade.
I think you're confused with the concept of Hadith. It's a collection of the sayings or actions of the Prophet Muhammed (PBUH).
To answer most of your questions, for you to quote me a Hadith, without any context or background to it, its meaningless.
So unless your an Islamic Scholar or Historian, it's pointless you quoting me a random bit of text from Sahih Bukhari and telling me what it means. I would have thought that would be elementary understanding...

Ok since we're doing the interrogation thing again... same question as usual from me...
Do you think it's justifiable that Allah sends people to hell forever because they don't believe in him?
Well put it this way.
If i believe in Allah (SWT), who is the supreme being, all knowledgeable, all knowing, and the creator of this universe.
If i believe in the prophets he sent down to tell mankind about Allah (SWT), from Adam (AS), Nuh (AS), Musa (AS), Isa (AS) and to Muhammed (SAWS).
Then ofcourse i will believe Allah (SWT) to be just, when he says he is Just.
It's not a case of what i think and how other people think, it all comes back to whether or not you believe in a Creator, and if he communicated to you or not.
