Shariat

Shariat, often spelled Sharia, refers to the moral and legal framework derived from Islamic teachings. It encompasses rules and guidelines governing both personal conduct and broader societal laws, based on the Quran (Islam's holy book) and the Hadith (sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad). Shariat addresses various aspects of life, including ethics, family relationships, business practices, and criminal justice. While interpretations of Shariat can vary widely among cultures and scholars, it fundamentally aims to promote justice, morality, and social harmony within Muslim communities.
