The Quar’an is the Holy book of Islam and the direct word of god. The Quar’an is very important to Muslims. It allows Muslims to expand their knowledge about Islam and the Prophet Muhammad, and also gain the ability to become less ignorant of their religion. Muslims believe that the Quar’an was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad over a span of about 20 years by the angel Gabriel. The Quar’an is used by Muslims in almost all of their rituals. When Muslims pray, they recite verses from the Quar’an, and the most important part is chapter one also known as the sura of the Quar’an which means the opener. Many muslims study the Quar’an everyday to lead and guide their lives.

Sharia law in the life of a Muslim is very important as well. Sharia is the waterway that leads to a main stream for Muslims. Basically, it’s a certain path or passage that ultimately leads to greater things in life. Sharia is based on regulations, values, and teachings. According to sources, “Shariah embraces worship, morals and conduct, as well as it embraces the political, social and economic, as well as other spheres. The Shariah, therefore, is a path - set by Allah for those who accept Him - to follow, in order to attain success both in the worldly life and in the hereafter.” This basically explains in short detail the significance of
Should Britain and other Western countries follow the Belgian and French examples and ban the burqa and the niqab? In other words, should the West prohibit any and all clothing that conceals one's identity? According to some surveys, most Europeans seem to expect the ban of burqa and niqab ("Widespread Support for Banning Full Islamic Veil in Western Europe"). However, a significant part of society, particularly in the United States and quite a few feminists have considered such a ban as religiously intolerant, anti-Western and primarily anti-woman. They maintain that the state has no right to decide what a woman can and cannot wear—it is her body, not public property; that given the worldwide exploitation of women as pornographic sex objects, wearing loose, comfortable, modest clothing, or actually covering up, might be both convenient and more dignified; that because of the West's tolerance toward religions, the state cannot come between a woman and her conscience because it would be a betrayal of Western values; and that women are freely choosing to wear the burqa. Some Western intellectuals, such as Leon Wieseltier,
It is divided into 4 key areas, laws relating to personal acts of worship, laws relating to commercial dealings, laws relating to marriage and divorce and penal laws. Compared to the 10 Commandments which is concise and simple, the Sharia Law is quite extensive and goes into personal matter such as hygiene, diet, dress code and sexual matters, whereas the 10 Commandment primarily cover ways to avoid sin. The 10 Commandments and the Sharia Law both condemn idolatry, murder, adultery, theft, the intentional desire and longing for immoral sexuality and the wanting or taking of someone’s property. The Qur’an has stated multiple punishments for not following the Sharia Law, these include beheading/crucifixion (Qur’an 5:33), flogging (Qur’an 24:2) and hellfire (Qur;an 40:70-72). This is different to the 10 Commandments as there are no punishments for not following the 10 Commandments. Although the 10 Commandments and the Sharia Law are two different aspects of the ethical dimension of Catholicism and Islam, through the evaluation of those ethical rules, there are a number of similarities and difference noted which link the two religions

Islam and Buddhism are similar in that they both have a strong belief in abiding by sacred scriptures. While Islam’s scriptures come out of one holy book, Buddhists use a wide variety of Holy Books depending on their specific sect. According to Muslims, The Qur’an is believed to be the direct words of Allah, which was revealed to the prophet Muhammad over a period of 23 years by the angel Gabriel. Gabriel transmitted the ayahs (verses) and surah’s (chapters) for Muhammad and from that the Qur’an was born (Oxford 218). The term “Qur’an” is derived from the root q-r- meaning to read and recite, which is what Gabriel commanded Muhammad to do upon presenting him with the scriptures. The Qur’an contains verses of commands and warnings, to stories and parables for the people of Islam to live by. Commentary relating to the Qur’an is the Tafsir, meaning ‘unveiling’ or elucidating the meaning of the texts (Oxford, 219). Interpretations of the Qur’an are based off of three authoritative sources: The Qur’an itself, the sayings of the Prophet Muham...
The Muslims’ main sacred text is the Koran, which they believe Gabriel gave to Mohammad from God. Muslims believe that the Koran is the final revelation from God, as the Bible has been “corrupted” upon translation.
Islam and the worship of Allah (god) began with Muhammad and his revelations that lasted for 23 years of his life from (610 C.E.- 623 C.E.). In the Islamic religion it is believed that he was the last prophet sent by Allah (god) and this made all his teachings into to Law and are looked at as the will of God. These messages were given to him through the archangel Gabriel, in a kind of continuation to the Jewish Torah and Christian Bible, which the Qur’an shares some similarities or past “history” with them such as the belief in Abraham and Jesus as a prophet, but in the eye’s of Mohammad the Jews and Christians had fallen astray from the real teaching of god.
...the Arabian Peninsula worshiped symbols. These tribes habitually battled with each other. Every tribe had its own traditions representing marriage, hospitality, and vengeance. Unlawful acts against persons were answered with personal retaliation or were at times determined by a judge. Muhammad brought another religion into this riotous Arab world. Islam insisted that only one true God was present. It requested that adherents comply with God's will and laws. The Koran sets down fundamental gauges of human behavior, yet does not give a definite law code; it consists of a few verses dealing with arrangement with legal matters. Throughout his lifetime, Muhammad helped clear up the law by deciphering procurements in the Koran and going about as a judge in legitimate cases. Along these lines, Islamic law, the Sharia, turned into an important part of the Muslim religion.

Muslims believe that the absolute deity is Allah. However, they also believe that there was a string of prophets sent by God to teach his word. The last of these prophets was Muhammad. His life is used as a foundation for Muslims to see how they are supposed to live and to help explain the teachings of the holy book of Islam, which is called Holy Qur’an. These teachings are said to have been revelations that Muhammad received that confirmed the God’s unity and the direct life in the world.
