Sources of Islamic Law
The Holy Quran constitutes the foundation of Islamic law and therefore
the primary and most reliable source. It is the final word of Allah
revealed to the last Messenger ,Muhammad (PBUH). The Holy Prophet
then conveyed the divine message to the people for guidance to the
right path .
The Quran in this regard says
‘judge between them by what Allah has revealed and follow not
their vain desire’’ (Al Mai’da:49)
‘If anyone do fail to judge by what Allah has revealed, they are
unbelievers ‘’ (Al Mai’da:44)
The Quran assures us of its authenticity and genuineness and its being
a source of ultimate guidance for those who are God fearing and who
are true Believers.
The Quran courses not only the spiritual and moral aspects of life but
it also deals with social, economical, judicial and even political spheres
.It provides details of social behaviours and ethics.
The Quran includes many
instructions about
1. Personal behaviour
2. Financial dealings
3. Criminal law
4. Order of law making
