More About The SharÄ«‘a
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The purpose of human life in this world is to successfully go through the trials and tribulations in order to achieve salvation in the hereafter. In the hereafter, life will have no end. God did not leave us without any means of guidance.
He sent prophets, messengers and books to guide mankind towards the right path. The last prophet and messenger was the Prophet of Islam, and the final revelation was the Qur'an. Islam is the ultimate means of guidance for mankind through the tests and trials of this world. The Prophet was sent “to convey the revelation; to purify spiritually and to teach the Qur’Än and wisdom.”
Islam seeks to guide its followers by the legal system known as “sharÄ«‘a”. No aspect of our life is outside the jurisdiction of the sharÄ«‘a: legal and moral, personal and social, economic and politics, all issues are directly or indirectly covered by the sharÄ«‘a.
In this lesson you will learn more about the Islamic laws from different perspectives.
