The impact of Islam on secular law can vary depending on the specific context and the degree of influence Islamic principles have on the legal system. In some countries, Islamic law, known as Sharia, may play a significant role in shaping secular law, particularly in family and personal matters. In other countries, secular law may take precedence over religious principles, and the influence of Islam on the legal system may be more limited.

Islam contains its own law, Sharia, within its theocratic structure.

As such, Islam is diametrically opposed to the concept of secular law, which it considers to be an affront to the indisputable rule of God.

As concerns the implementation of Secular Law in Islamic Countries, there is certainly an effect. Typically, Islamic religious institutions in those countries try to impose their view of right and wrong through the Secular Legal Structure. (This is not unlike the Evangelical Communities in the United States.) Others attempt to derail the secular system altogether and replace it with Islamist government, such as what occurred in Iran in 1979.
