Abstract
This article analyses the concept of “sharia” from an Arab scholar historical perspective, from its most traditional views to the modernising views of the Nahda in the 19th century to the Islamist and Salafist discourses of the 20th century. It reflects how the corpus of the sharia was formed as a result of the interaction of the text with the context, and the importance of the Arabic language for its formulation and understanding.
