What are the sources of Shariah Islamic Law ?
• Much of Shariah is a post-Quranic, meaning not written in the Quran or the words of Mohammad. It is a man-made, politicized doctrine and more radical than the Quran. In fact, the word Shariah only appears in the Quran once. However, some ideas of Shariah Law are in the Quran and also in the Hadith, or interpretation of the life of Mohammad. It is important to remember that just because a Muslim follows the faith of Islam and reads the Quran, it does NOT mean they subscribe to or promote or want to live under Shariah Islamic Law. Many peace-loving Muslims worldwide do NOT want to have any connection with Shariah Islamic Law.
