What Is Sharia?

Sharia is a broad set of moral and ethical principles derived from the Quran and Hadith, guiding many aspects of life for Muslims around the world. While often misunderstood or misrepresented, Sharia—like many religious codes—shapes personal practices in prayer, fasting, charity, marriage, and community relations.
