Shariah is the Islamic law as concluded from the Quran and the Sunnah (prophet Muhammad sayings and practices). The purpose of Shariah is to be followed and practiced by Muslims to ensure the obedience of Allah and his prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

According to Islam, a person merits entry into heaven if he performs morally in this life. In order to perform morally, a person must know what actions are good and which are evil. The Shari'a serves as a path to help a person to know which actions are good and which are evil, helping him to secure his place in heaven.
