Muslim jurists agree that the Qur'an in its entirety is not a legal code (used in the
modern sense); rather its purpose is to lay down a way of life which regulates man's
relationship with others and God.[7] The verses of the Qur'an are categorized into
three fields: "science of speculative theology", "ethical principles" and "rules of
human conduct". The third category is directly concerned with Islamic legal matters
which contains about five hundred verses or one thirteenth of it. The task of
interpreting the Qur'an has led to various opinions and judgments. The
interpretations of the verses by Muhammad's companions for Sunnis and Imams for
Shias are considered the most authentic, since they knew why, where and on what
occasion each verse was revealed.[1][6
Muslims believe the Qur'an to be the direct words of Allah, as revealed to and
transmitted by the Prophet Muhammad. All sources of Islamic law must be in
essential agreement with the Qur'an, the most fundamental source of Islamic
knowledge. When the Qur'an itself does not speak directly or in detail about a
certain subject, Muslims only then turn to alternative sources of Islamic law.
