Islamic law, also known as sharia law, is a set of rules that Muslims adhere to that are derived from the Quran and prophetic traditions. There are many misconceptions surrounding sharia law as it is depicted as uncivilized and barbaric. In addition, there are several interpretations of sharia law which have led to either progress or fundamentalism in certain countries.
