SHARI'A
Shari'a Law (also known as Shari and Shariah literally means "the path to a watering hole," or "way to the water.") is the way, or path, of Islam based on the teachings of ALLAH, and the acts and sayings of Muhammad as found in the Qur'an and the Sunnah. However, shari'a was not fully developed at the time of Muhammad's death; rather, it evolved around the Muslim community, known as "Ummah," through which it would serve.
