Islam provides a framework for all aspects of life, ranging from the spiritual to the mundane. It encompasses how one should pray, what foods can be eaten, and how business relationships should be organized. Islam is often called a way of life rather than a religion, as it lays out an entire system of laws, with the rights and responsibilities of all people clearly defined. These laws are derived from several sources, which all refer back to the Qur'an.
