To understand the essence of the Shari`ah, one must understand the relationship between man and God that Islam lays down.

There is no god but one God and Muhammad is the Prophet of God: this simple sentence is the bedrock of the Islamic creed.
God is the Creator; to Him alone, therefore, belongs the kingdom and He is the only sovereign: (7: 54; 39: 5-6)

God is the Creator. To Him alone, therefore, as his only Lord and Master, man must submit his entire being:

{Your God is One God, so only to Him submit.} (Al-Hajj 22: 34)
{That then is God, your only Lord; there is no god but He, the Creator of everything. So He Alone serves.} (Al-An’am 6:102)

God is the only true Provider. It is He who has bestowed on man such faculties and capabilities as seeing, hearing, thinking, and articulating-attributes which man cannot live without, but which he cannot create for himself.

It is He who has made available the resources of the external world which man may discover, exploit and develop but, again, cannot create.

Yet surely man’s greatest need is to know how to live his life so as to fulfill successfully the purpose of his creation; how to relate himself to his Creator, to his own self, to his fellow human beings, and to everything around him. To Him alone, he must therefore turn to seek guidance.

For there is no one apart from or beside Him who can truly provide answers to man’s eternal questions or is capable of guiding him. All else can only be speculation and conjecture.


Among them were Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. And Muhammad was the last of them, in no way different or new. May God bless all of them. (42: 13)

Allah and Man Relationship in Islam | Power of Connection between Abd and Rabb
Man’s relationship to God is expressed by the very word ‘Islam’ submitting to Him by following His will and guidance as brought by His Prophets. But this submission must be total and all-embracing. A Muslim submits his entire ‘person’ to his Creator as his only Lord and Master. No part of his life can be exempt from the need of divine guidance or from the writ of divine sovereignty.
God and His lordship and sovereignty are indivisible; and so is man’s life in its submission to Him.

It would indeed be an imperfect God who could only be experienced or related to in the realm of the spirit or the provision of material needs like one’s daily bread – a God unconcerned, uncaring or incompetent to help man in the more arduous and complex task of living his life. Him he worships; Him he invokes; Him he depends upon; Him he trusts; Him he seeks; and, equally important, Him he obeys.

Man has been given the freedom to reject God; but, once having accepted Him, he must follow His guidance. He is not free to follow one part of it and ignore another, nor to seek guidance from sources other than God. Denial of part is a denial of the whole. (2: 85; 3: 83-85)
In its fullest sense, the Shari`ah is therefore virtually synonymous, and can be used interchangeably, with the word deen, which can only inadequately be translated as ‘religion’. Deen literally means ‘way of life, ‘submission’, ‘following’, or the ‘Way’. Though the word Shariah in its various derivative forms is found in five places in the Qur’an, its extensive use only came into vogue much later; for the words, Islam and deen were more commonly employed to express the same meaning in the early days of Islam.

The Shari`ah includes both faith and practice. It embraces worship, individual attitude, and conduct as well as social norms and laws, whether political, economic, familial, criminal, or civil.

It may also sometimes be used to imply, in a more restricted sense, do’s and don’ts – the rules and regulations for conduct and behavior.

Lastly, it is also used as the equivalent of Islamic laws.
The Shari`ah is nothing less than the divinely ordained way of life for man. To realize the divine will, man must follow the Shariah. To live in Islam is to live according to the Shari`ah.

To give up Shariah or any part of it knowingly, willfully, or deliberately is to give up Islam.
