Sharia law is based on:

  1. Quran, Muslims holy book revealed by God to prophet Muhammad (PBUH),
  2. Sunnah, prophet Muhammad (PBUH) teachings (sayings and practices),
  3. Qias, comparing with similar cases in Quran or Sunnah. For example, drugs are forbidden although not mentioned in Quran and Sunnah but because drug effects are the same when compared with alcohol (that is forbidden in Quran and sunnah explicitly), and
  4. Ijmaa, issues where all Islam religion leaders agree upon.

Shari'ah is muslim/islamic law.

Islamic Law, called the SHARI'A, is based on the exegesis of Islamic texts, especially the Qur'an and a case by case applicability to present cases. As a result, there are certain laws and penal codes which cannot be altered, modernized, or reformed. The base Islamic texts are considered to be Divinely Authored and are, therefore, beyond question or debate. Even if the majority disagrees with a law, they have to abide by it because the law has Divine approval.
