Contemporary Islamic law, known as Sharia, is a system of legal and ethical guidelines derived from the Quran, Hadith (sayings of Prophet Muhammad), and other sources. It influences various aspects of life, including prayer, fasting, marriage, finance, and criminal justice, and adapts to modern contexts while maintaining core principles. Different countries and communities interpret and implement Sharia to varying degrees, blending traditional values with contemporary legal systems. Overall, it aims to promote justice, morality, and social harmony in accordance with Islamic teachings.
