Quran
and

Quran
and
Sunna
(exemplary
speech
and
deeds
of
Prophet
Muhammad)
are
the
main
sources
of
the
Islamic
law,
Shari’ah.
The
Quran
is
not
a
compilation
of
laws,
but
instead
it
contains
recommendations
or
admonitions.
However,
in
the
case
of
conflict,
e.g.,
in
the
criminal
law
clear
instructions
can
be
found.

Shari’ah
Shari’ah
is
a
concept
that
regulates
the
whole
life
of
a
believing
Muslim.
In
many
Arab
countries,
Shari’ah
is
the
basis
of
state
jurisdiction.
Chapter
1,
Article
3
of
the
Yemeni
Constitution
for
example,
states
that
“Islamic
Shari’ah
is
the
source
of
all
legislation.”
The
primary
sources
of
Shari’ah
are
the
Quran
and
Sunna.
In
the
first
centuries
of
the
Islamic
era,
two
more
categories
for
implementing
justice
were
added:
(1)
Igma’,
i.e.,
the
consensus
of
Islamic
scholars
on
a
legal
case,
which
is
cannot
be
amended
by
the
Quran
or
by
Sunna
and
(2)
Qiyas,
analogy
conclusion,
which
made
it

cases
by
comparing
them
with
already
existing
ones.

Shura
Shura
is
the
concept
of
reciprocal
counseling
with
the
objective
to
decide
upon
a
controversial
issue.
Progressive
scholars
consider
Shura
as
inherent
in
Islam.
They
refer
to
distinct
Quranic
verses
and
the
practice
of
the
prophet
Muhammad.
The
statements
of
the
prophet
Muhammad
(hadith)
give
account
of
the
prophet’s
habit
to
council
with
his
companions
in
cases
of
conflict
and
decision-‐making.
The
reciprocal
counseling
is
also
mentioned
in
the
Quran,
known
as
Shura.
In
a
political
sense,
reformists
use
the
Shura
concept
as
an
argument
for
political
participation
of
the
population.
