A Sample Hadith
Narrated 'Aisha: (the mother of the faithful believers)
Al-Harith bin Hisham asked Allah's Messenger “O Allah's Messenger! How is the Divine Inspiration revealed to you?" Allah's Messenger replied, "Sometimes it is (revealed) like the ringing of a bell, this form of Inspiration is the hardest of all and then this state passes off after I have grasped what is inspired. Sometimes the Angel comes in the form of a man and talks to me and I grasp whatever he says." 'Aisha added: Verily I saw the Prophet being inspired divinely on a very cold day and noticed the sweat dropping from his forehead (as the Inspiration was over).

Slide 27
A Broad Definition“Shariah is the Islamic Law – the disciplines and principles that govern the behavior of a Muslim individual towards his or herself, family, neighbors, community, city, nation and the Muslim polity as a whole, the Ummah. Similarly Shariah governs the interactions between communities, groups and social and economic organizations. Shariahestablishes the criteria by which all social actions are classified, categorized and administered within the overall governance of the state.”
Shaykh Muhammad Hisham KabbaniSource: http://islamicsupremecouncil.org/understanding-islam/legal-rulings/52-understanding-islamic-law.html, accessed, 5/13.2016

Slide 28
Conflicting Definitions“Now a great problem today is that a new movement within Islam, the Islamist movement, has innovated a non-traditional approach to Shariahwhich vitiates all of the past approaches and establishes a rigid, hardline and non-pragmatic approach which vitiates all semblance of humaneness, sanity, moderation and decorum which constituted Islamic Law’s traditional implementation over the past 14 centuries of history.”

Three Dimensions of Sharia
Source: https://ing.org/a-closer-look-at-sharia-in-the-united-states/, accessed, 5/13.2016
“Religious worship and ritual. These include acts of worship such as the five daily prayers (salat), fasting during Ramadan (sawm), and pilgrimage to Mecca (hajj). This area also includes some lifestyle practices, such as diet (no pork or alcohol) and wearing modest dress (ie. hijab).”
“Private social interactions. These are mainly family issues (marriage, divorce, inheritance, etc) and marketplace affairs (respect for private property, rules for giving to charity and the community, ethical investments, contracts, etc).”
“Public law issues. These are issues such as criminal law, and some general principles of constitutional government.”
