Best Answer

Sharia laws are laws based on the Quran; the holy book of Islam.

_____________________________________________________________

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.

Sharia laws are those laws which have to be used in regulating the Islamic community, they are all derived from the Islamic sources, mainly the holy Quran & the Sunnah of the prophet Muhammad PBUH. They organize all life aspects in the light of the commands, prohibitions, recommendations of Allah,the Almighty.Sharia laws actually oppose each evil & each bad.
