چکیده

A successful life is the one in which there are rules related to every matter and every religion in which there are rules in life that there are rules related to every matter, that religion is always the guarantor of law and equality and peace in the society.Hammurabi was a great ruler whose fame was due to his 282 laws which he had installed on a tablet and that tablet was eight feet long. The laws of Hammurabi are considered to be very ancient in the written laws of the world and he died before Jesus (peace be upon him), after which the laws were compiled in the Bible which are considered inspired. In the article under review, an attempt has been made to compare some of the laws of Hammurabi and the Bible to find out how similar and different their laws are.
