Shari’ah, or more properly Al-Shari’ah, literally means the pathway, path to be followed, or clear way to be followed, and has come to mean the path upon which the believer has to tread. In original usage Shari’ah meant the road to the watering place or path leading to the water, the way to the source of life.

In the modern context, these principles, founded on the words of Allah [The God] as revealed in the Qur’an, and traditions gathered from the life of the Prophet Muhammad [PBUH], inform many aspects of commerce, business and life itself.
