Islamic law is known as Shariah also. Shariah has certain laws, which are regarded as divinely ordained, concrete and timeless for all relevant situations (for example, the ban against drinking liquor as an intoxicant).

At the heart of Islamic law lie the teachings of God and the acts and sayings of the Holy prophet, Muhammad (Pbuh). Shariah or Islamic law, is founded on the Quran and the Sunnah.
