Shari'a Law - draws from a number of different sources eg: Qur'an, Sunna, Hadith, consensus of Muslim scholars, legal precedents.

Shari'a Law has two components
- those obligations towards Allah (God).
- those obligations towards others.

Punishments udner Shari'a are harsh however, the conditions under which these punishments can be adminstered are highly difficult to achieve.
Theft - hand cut off.
Adultery - whipping, stoning.
Muder - death, blood money.
