The Holy Quran Muslims believe the Quran to be the direct words of Allah, as revealed to and transmitted by the

e Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) The Quran is the Most Fundamental Source of Islamic knowledge. All sources of Islamic law must be in essential agreement with the Qur'an. When the Qur'an itself does not speak directly or in detail about a certain subject, Muslims only then turn to alternative sources of Islamic law The Sunnah () Sunnah are the traditions or known practices of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Many Hadiths have been recorded in the volumes of Hadith literature. The resources include many things that he said, did, or agreed to -- and he lived his life according to the Qur'an, putting the Qur'an into practice in his own life. During the Prophet's lifetime, his family and companions observed him and shared with others exactly what they had seen in his words and behaviors Examples: How he performed ablutions / wodhu. How he prayed. How he performed other acts of worship. People also asked the Prophet directly for rulings on various matters, and he would pronounce his judgment. All of these details were passed on and recorded, to be referred to in future legal rulings regarding personal conduct, community, family relations, political matters and many others. The Sunnah can thus clarify details of what is stated generally in the Qur'an. Ijma Consensus () In situations when Muslims have not been able to find a specific legal ruling in the Qur'an or Sunnah, the consensus of the community is sought (or at least the consensus of the legal scholars within the community). The Prophet Muhammad once said that his community (i.e. the Muslim community) would never agree on an error.

Qiyas - Analogy

()

In cases when something needs a legal ruling, but has not been clearly addressed in the other sources, judges may use analogy, reasoning, and legal precedent to decide new case law. This is often the case when a general principle can be applied to new situations.
