Sharia (Islamic Law)

Sharia, or Islamic law, is a legal framework derived from the Quran (the holy book of Islam) and the Hadith (the sayings and actions of Prophet Muhammad). It encompasses various aspects of life, including ethical conduct, family law, and social justice. Sharia aims to provide guidance on how to live a righteous life and maintain social order. Its interpretation can vary widely across cultures and communities, leading to diverse practices in its application. While often associated with legal penalties, many Muslims view Sharia primarily as a moral compass and a guide for individual behavior and societal values.
