Sharia is the set of Islamic laws that encompass both the religious and secular practices of Muslims.<\/p>\n
Often redundantly referred to as \u201cSharia law,\u201d Sharia encompasses the legal dimensions of Muslim life. It is akin to halakhah (Jewish law). In fact, not only do Sharia and halakha play similar roles in Muslim and Jewish life, they share in linguistic parallels as well: Just as the Hebrew term carries the meaning of being \u201cthe Way,\u201d embedded within the meanings of the Arabic term \u201cSharia\u201d is the idea of being \u201cthe way\u201d or \u201cthe path\u201d towards water.<\/p>\n
Sharia covers two broad domains: The rights of God, and the rights of man. It informs and regulates most aspects of Muslim life, from how one prays and washes, to how one governs and does business.<\/p>\n
