Why is shariah important in Islam?

Answer 1

Sharia (Arabic: شريعة transliteration: Šarī`ah) is the body of Islamic religious law. The term means "way" or "path to the water source"; it is the legal framework within which the public and some private aspects of life are regulated for those living in a legal system based on Islamic principles of jurisprudence and for Muslims living outside the domain. Sharia deals with many aspects of day-to-day life, including politics, economics, banking, business, contracts, family, sexuality, hygiene, and social issues. There is no strictly static codified set of laws of sharia. Sharia is more of a system of how law ought to serve humanity, a consensus of the unified spirit. Based on the Qur'an (the religious text of Islam), hadith (sayings and doings of Muhammad), (sayings and doings of the early followers of Muhammad), ijma (consensus), qiyas (analogy) and centuries of debate, interpretation and precedent. Before the 19th century, legal theory was considered the domain of the traditional legal schools of thought. Most Sunni Muslims follow Hanafi, Hanbali, Maliki or Shafii, while most Shia Muslims follow Twelvers. Islamic law is now the most widely used religious law, and one of the three most common legal systems of the world alongside common law and civil law. During the Islamic Golden Age, classical Islamic law had a fairly significant influence on the development of common law, and also influenced the development of several civil law institutions.

Answer:

Ever hear of the Torah? The Law of Moses?

That was a covenant that God made with Israel. But fourteen centuries after Moses, the Jews were astray - making many errors and rejecting God's Prophets.

So along comes Jesus and says: "There was a land owner who hired a group of people to work his land. But every time he sent them a messenger to reap the harvest of the land, they either killed him, or dismissed him. So what do you think the land owner will do?"

His disciples answered: "He will remove those people and hire a new people to work the land - and give the land owner his due"

So God sent Muhammad - with a complete code of Law - like the Torah, but made clearer, and easier.
