      ab: A chapter from the book "Powers: Religion As a Social & Spiritual Force" is presented. It examines some of the key issues involved in the use of sharia as a body of law in Sudan's legal and political history. It looks at the British colonial domination since late 1898, the state and its judicial preferences, and a modernist interpretation of the aims and scope of sharia. It also discusses the role of Major General Ja'afar Numayri in the transformation of laws and legal structures in postcolonial Sudan.
