Islamic law is known as Sharia Law, and sharia means the path to follow God's law. Sharia law is eclectic in its approach to guide the individual in most daily matters.Sharia law controls,rules and regulates all public and private behaviors.

It comprises the whole of the spiritual,political,economic,social,domestic and private life of the adherents of Islam and Muslim State.The Shari;ah Law was developed as a legal system based on The Qur'anic instructions,injunctions and generalizations pertaining to human activities and conduct. In fact, Islamic Law is reasonably flexible and responsive to the needs of time , place, and environment. The reason for this flexibility and responsiveness is that Islamic Law is based on general principales with relatively few specific injunctions, and that much is left to the judgment of the human mind.
