Sharia

Based on what I read, I was able to find the significance of Sharia and how it plays in society. Sharia is another way to say "The Right Path." It originated from the Quran and is considered the actual word of god by the muslims. The significance of Sharia is how over time, it managed to reinterpreted and adapted to new issues in the world. One of the things that caught my attention is how today, for many religions, there is conflict to whether or not you're part of a religion if you follow only some of the laws. This is because the significance of reinterpreting the Sharia is that it gave people the opportunity to follow the laws they found most suitable for themselves. Based on the question "Are you a part of a religion if you don't follow all of it's rules." I think the answer may vary since for many people, a person can go as far as they think they have to be in order to be a part of religion, which can explain how today there distinct groups of people for each religion. I feel that following or not following all of the laws imposed does show whether or not you're a part of a religion. If people continue to reinterpret sets of laws, it'll come to the point where they will change laws, and ultimately create new religions because of how a person's belief varies in every aspect. If they are going to follow a religion, why not follow it entirely, or else just make a religion to where you feel you're following it 100 percent?  One of the questions asked was "How can law relate to religion." I feel the answer to this can be that both are meant to lead people to the right direction in life and helping them benefit and advance towards life, not only receiving rewards in your human life, but in your afterlife.
