    Shariah is the way that guides one's life according to Islamic principles as derived from the Quran and teachings of the Prophet Muhammad. It encompasses legal, moral and religious aspects of life. The primary sources of Shariah are the Quran, which contains directives from God, and the Sunnah, which are the sayings and practices of the Prophet. Ijma, or scholarly consensus, as well as qiyas, using analogy and deductive reasoning, help determine rulings for issues not directly addressed in the primary sources. Minor sources like ijtihad allow Islamic law to adapt to new situations and istihan uses discretion to avoid unfairness from a strict reading.
