What are some prominent examples that can be presented to non-Muslims to illustrate the virtues and superiority of Islam and Sharia? Are there books that address the virtues of Sharia and its legislative miraculousness? Are there other works, besides "Asrar al-Sharia min I'lam al-Muwaqqi'in" (Secrets of Sharia from I'lam al-Muwaqqi'in), that discuss the wisdom of Sharia?
The easiest resource for the questioner to benefit from is the book "Introduction to Islam" by the Qatar Centre for the Introduction of Islam, which clarifies the importance of knowing the virtues of Islam in therapeutic, preventative, and da'wah aspects.
There are also other useful books on this topic, including: "Selected Examples of the Virtues of Islam from the Guidance of the Best of Mankind" and "Glimpses of the Virtues of Islam" by Sheikh Muhammad bin Ali Al-Arfaj; "Informing of the Corruption and Delusions in the Christian Religion and Manifesting the Virtues of Islam" by Al-Qurtubi; "The Tolerance of Islam in Calling to Allah and Human Relations" by Dr. Abd Al-Azim Al-Mat'ani; "The Tolerance of Islam in Dealing with Non-Muslims" by Dr. Hikmat bin Bashir Yasin; "The Perfection of the Islamic Religion" by Sheikhs Abdullah Aal Jar Allah and Abd Al-Aziz Al-Salman; "The Virtues of and the Flaws of Man-Made Laws" by Sheikh Atiyah bin Muhammad Salim; "The Concise Pearl on the Virtues of the Islamic Religion" by Sheikh Abd Al-Rahman Al-Sa'di; and "The Tolerance of Islam" by Dr. Omar bin Abd Al-Aziz Qureshi.
For legislative inimitability, one can refer to books on Quranic sciences such as "Studies in Quranic Sciences" by Dr. Fahd Al-Rumi, "Discussions on the Inimitability of the Quran" by Dr. Mustafa Muslim, and the research on legislative inimitability presented at the Third International Conference on Islamic and Arabic Sciences.
As for books that address the rulings and secrets of Sharia, the most important is "Hujjatullah al-Balighah" by Waliullah Dehlawi.
Most of these books are available online.
