SOURCES OF MUSLIM LAW
Muslim Law is a religious law and it is applicable to a person, who is Muslim either by birth or by proselytization. However, Islamic law is based on man's duties or obligations rather than on his rights. Islamic law is a branch of Muslim theology, giving practical expression to the faith, which lays down how a Muslim should conduct in accordance with his religion, both towards god and towards other men. According to prophet Mohammad, the Muslim law is commandment of God and the sovereigns in the Muslim states and it is his (Muslim's) duty to follow it literally.
Nevertheless, if we give a few moments over the word Islam – it means 'total surrender of oneself to God', and its follower i.e. Muslim - means, 'who submitted himself to God.'
