Islamic law, known as Sharia, is a legal system derived from the Quran and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad. It encompasses a wide range of guidelines covering personal conduct, family matters, and community relations. Sharia aims to promote justice, morality, and social welfare within the Muslim community. Sharia is not a single code of law but varies by interpretation and cultural context. Different schools of thought, such as Hanafi and Shafi'i, offer diverse perspectives on its application. While some countries implement Sharia in their legal systems, others may use it primarily for personal or religious matters.
