Each religion is based on a set of laws and regulations, and as long as worshipers adhere to them, religion continues to exist. A prominent representative of religion, which combines the law with religion into a single whole, with clear rules and laws, is the Islamic faith. Islamic law is based on Sharia law. They are not the result of the activity of the legislative body, but are taken from the Koran and Sunnah, the writings of Muhammad, the founder of Islam.
Islam is the foundation of Muslim society. He fully controls all the actions and behavior of believers. You cannot accept faith and reject the law; all this is a single whole. The source of laws is not people, as in most countries. The beginning of social norms was taken from religious doctrine, which is based on scripture. Every Muslim respects Sharia, the law of life of Muslims and Muslims themselves are a single whole. The main goal of the people is the translation of the values of Islam into a legal form.
Every stage of life, from circumcision to relationships with infidels, must take place in accordance with the law. That is why Sharia law can be considered a very significant psychological factor, social influence and ideological impact on the public. Muslims are a very united people, and this is explained by the fact that they live in their own small world, in which there is no place for an unbeliever. Anywhere in the world, following the law and religion is mandatory.
Sharia norms are subordinate only to God. The law also comes from the mouth of God. Believers living within the framework of norms can solve issues without going beyond the law. The main goal of Sharia is not to regulate certain small elements of life, but to educate Muslims in any corner of the world and under any circumstances to get out of the situation in a Muslim way, without losing the interests of their faith.
Sharia law is a kind of extract from the Qur'an and the Sunnah. All existing norms are contained in 800 verses on the pages of both books. The main emphasis is on family law. Basically, all Sharia is divided into three main provisions:
- Clear quotes from the scriptures as they are written.
- Scripture injunctions directing believers to the true path.
- The doctrine of rights and norms.
Not everything written in the Qur'an and Sunnah relates to law. Certain parts of the scriptures become laws after acquiring a legal explanation. Sharia law has a solid foundation as a motivation for people and conscience in terms of religion. The opinion that this is only the outer shell as the rules of behavior is wrong. Right, like faith, sits deep in every true Muslim.
Sharia gives a clear separation of everything that happens. Mandatory, recommended, as well as permitted, forbidden and censured actions are highlighted. The right is based on gradual implementation and does not have the peculiarity to hamper human actions. The complete absence of extremes. In a situation where several norms or rules can be used simultaneously, preference is given to that option that requires much less effort. It is worth saying that Sharia law combined rigor and flexibility. Each rule has a clear explanation and interpretation. The legislation of Islam made a breakthrough and was able to unite the mass consciousness. Shariah became the goal of Muslims, which turned the people into a strong and powerful civilization.
The main problem of law are countless traditions and customs that have been developed over the centuries. They are a barrier to unity, since they do not correspond to the Quran and can cause the collapse of religion. The eradication of traditions is the main goal of legislation in Islam.
