Islamic jurisprudence, or Fiqh, is the human understanding and interpretation of Sharia, the divine law in Islam, which guides the religious, moral, and legal aspects of a Muslim's life. It is derived from primary sources such as the Quran and Sunnah, and secondary sources like Ijma and Qiyas, allowing for adaptation and application in diverse contexts and times.

Islamic Jurisprudence

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.
