Sharia
5:06 AMTo Arabic-speaking people, sharia (shariah, shari'a, sharīʿah; Arabic: شريعة šarīʿah, IPA: [ʃaˈriːʕa], "legislation"),also known as Islāmī qānūn (اسلامی قانون), means the moral code and religious law of a prophetic religion.In English usage, the term "sharia" has been largely identified with Islam.
Sharia deals with many topics addressed by secular law, including crime, politics, and economics, as well as personal matters such as sexual intercourse, hygiene, diet, prayer, everyday etiquette and fasting. Though interpretations of sharia vary between cultures, in its strictest and most historically coherent definition it is considered the infallible law of God—as opposed to the human interpretation of the laws (fiqh). However, historically, much of Sharia has been implemented in its strictest understanding.
