The enactment of Presidential Decree No. 1083, otherwise known as the Code of Muslim Personal Laws of the Philippines (‘Muslim Code’)1 in 1977 signalled the realisation of this aspiration. Ideally, the enforcement of this legal system ‘shall redound to the attainment of amore ordered life amongst [Philippine Muslims] .’2 The Muslim Code was enacted specifically to recognise the legal system of the Philippine Muslims and to make Islamic institutions more effective;3 to codify Muslim personal laws;4 and to provide for an effective administration and enforcement of Muslim personal laws among Muslims.5 Indeed, the enactment of the Muslim Code is founded on profound and meritorious intentions.  \nHowever, the implementation of the Muslim Code is what defines whether the intent or purpose of its enactment has been achieved. This is where the Shari’ah legal profession in the Philippines takes an active role that is pivotal to the realisation of the general intent  \n1 Muslim Code 1977 (Philippines) .  \n2 See ibid 3rd whereas clause.  \n3 See ibid Article 2(a) .  \n4 See ibid Article 2(b) .  \n5 See ibid Article 2(c) .  \nof the Muslim Code. This Code paved the way for the creation of the Shari’ah Courts in the Philippines, which necessitates the licensing of individuals who will be authorised to practice law before these courts.
