ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Islamic law

Hey kiddo! Do you want to learn about Islamic law? It's the rules that Muslims follow in their daily lives. Islamic law is also called Shariah.

Think of it like this: Just like how your teacher has rules in the classroom, Islamic law has rules for people who follow the religion of Islam.

For Muslims, Islamic law is very important because it guides them on how to live their lives and make decisions. It is based on the Quran, which is the holy book of Islam, and the sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad.

Islamic law covers many things like how to pray, fast, give charity, and even how to get married and divorced. It also includes rules about what is good behavior and what is not allowed.

For example, Islamic law teaches that it is important to be honest, kind, and fair to everyone, and it also forbids things like stealing, lying, and hurting others.

Muslims follow Islamic law because they believe it is what Allah, their God, wants them to do. It helps them live a good life and find peace and happiness.
