Common law dervied from England, and was not established until 1189. Sharia law goes back to the 9th century.
It should be noted that Common Law did not spring up whole in 1189, but rather drew from centuries of past thought, even drawing from Roman and Biblical times. Similarly, Sharia law derives in the main from the Koran, wrote in the early 7th century, and itself draws from sources as old as Biblical times.
As a recognizable doctrine, Sharia Law is nonetheless older than Common Law, though it does not enjoy the widespread popularity and reputation for neutrality that Common Law does.
