Shariat (Sharia)
Sharia, or Islamic law, is a comprehensive legal and moral framework derived from the Quran, Hadith (teachings of Prophet Muhammad), and other Islamic sources. It guides Muslims in aspects of daily life, including worship, ethics, family matters, commerce, and justice. Sharia aims to promote justice, mercy, and righteousness while maintaining social order. Its application varies across cultures and countries, often blending religious directives with local legal traditions. While some interpret it strictly, others adopt more flexible approaches, reflecting diverse understandings within the Muslim community.
