To Christians, they can read the Commandments given to Moses in the Old Testament. This is almost the same, but Christians are allowed to interpret these as said in a time and context and adapt these to what they consider correct today. Muslims may do the same and may elect their priests to pass judgment. The Bible say that a limb should be cut off to the thief, so does the Koran. So, in some countries, you risk losing a finger should you be caught stealing.
US law will also consider stealing to be wrong, since it shares the same values. But the consequence - the judgment passed has been determined by politicians over the years, and judges have passed sentences to keep others from stealing.
The only real similarity between Islamic Law and US Law is the strong presence of judge-made law, also called "case law". This means that while specific rules made by a legislature or a holy book may have a lot of merit, much of the finer points of the law are articulated using case law and analogies.However, the actual findings of Shari'a vs. those of US law on most questions are actually radically different. As actual corpuses of law, the two systems are irreconcilable.
As Muslims, the Ottomans followed Islamic law. But there were topics not fully covered by Islamic law---criminal law and taxation, for example. So the sultans passed laws to address such situations. Suleyman organized these laws into a legal code that could effectively govern the vast and expanding empire.
This question is contradictory. By definition, US law is not the same as Islamic law. To have your marriage recognised in the US, you must be able to be declared as married according to US law. Similarly, your divorce must be recognised under US law, whose requirements are separate to those of Islamic law.Divorce law obviously varies from state to state, but at a minimum you will have to contact your local registry office and ask them for a certificate of divorce. You will be able to submit evidence of your divorce under Islamic law as part of that request, but you will still most likely have to fill out a form.
The name of the Islamic Holy Law is called Shari'ah. It is the law that we, Muslims, rely on. Also, the Holy Quran and Hadith as well. The Shari'ah tells us between haraam and halal. It also tells us about the good and evils of this world. Good luck!

Islamic Law, called the SHARI'A, is based on the exegesis of Islamic texts, especially the Qur'an and a case by case applicability to present cases. As a result, there are certain laws and penal codes which cannot be altered, modernized, or reformed. The base Islamic texts are considered to be Divinely Authored and are, therefore, beyond question or debate. Even if the majority disagrees with a law, they have to abide by it because the law has Divine approval.US Law is based on the principle that all laws are subject to debate, revision, and majority approval. The Constitution of the United States sets up the principles of how the country is governed, but each aspect of those principles can be amended and altered should the population be of the view that something should be changed. Laws can be modernized and altered on a fundamental level should the votes come through.
Officially, the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan is an Islamic Republic. Islamic Republics are governed by Islamic law.
