With all the Islamophobic rhetoric and criticism of Shariah law coming from American leaders, most Muslims assume the United States doesn’t have a clear understanding of – or respect for – Islamic history and traditions.

On the contrary, the highest court in the U.S. recognizes the incredible significance of Prophet Muhammad and his teachings on Islamic law. 

In fact, the U.S. Supreme Court considers Prophet Muhammad to be one of the 18 greatest lawgivers in history, along with the likes of the ancient Egyptian ruler Menes, the Prophet Moses, Hammurabi, Confucius, Napoleon, and John Marshall.
