Islamic Law, or Sharia, is a comprehensive legal system derived from the Quran, Hadith, and other Islamic texts, governing both public and private aspects of life for Muslims. It encompasses a wide range of legal, moral, and ethical guidelines, and its interpretation can vary significantly across different cultures and schools of thought within Islam.

Islamic theology, or 'Ilm al-Kalam', is the study of the nature of God and religious beliefs within Islam, focusing on understanding divine attributes, prophethood, and eschatology. It serves as a framework for interpreting the Quran and Hadith, and addresses philosophical questions about the existence of God, free will, and the problem of evil.
