Shariah is three branches: Faith, practice and law

Law is the rules and regulations that dictate our life according to that which pleases God. So, eating pork, drinking wine, stealing, practicing magic and many other examples are all prohibited under the law of Sharia.

Law of Shariah is meant to bring benefit and prevent harm. It is to protect our Deen, self, mind, honor and wealth.

The law of Shariah was mentioned mainly in the Quran in the general rules, then the Sunnah of the prophet (peace be upon him) gave real examples of implementation and up till now scholars can relate in Qiyas or analysis new implantations of the original meanings and purposes of the Shariah.
