WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Sharia is derived from two main sources: the Quran, which is considered the direct word of God, and hadith-thousands of sayings and practices attributed to the Prophet Mohammed that collectively form the Sunna.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Qur’an is the principal source of Islamic law, the Sharia. It contains the rules by which the Muslim world is governed (or should govern itself) and forms the basis for relations between man and God, between individuals, whether Muslim or non-Muslim, as well as between man and things which are part of creation.

Detailed explanation-3: -It is the ideal law of God as interpreted by Muslim scholars over centuries aimed toward justice, fairness, and mercy. Sharia is overwhelmingly concerned with personal religious observance such as prayer and fasting, and not with national laws.

Detailed explanation-4: -The classical sharia system is exemplified by Saudi Arabia and some other Gulf states. Iran shares many of the same features, but also possesses characteristics of mixed legal systems, such as a parliament and codified laws.

Detailed explanation-5: -According to the traditionalist (Atharī) Muslim view, the major precepts of Sharia were passed down directly from the Islamic prophet Muhammad without “historical development” and the emergence of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) also goes back to the lifetime of Muhammad.
