I will pay for the following article Basic Elements of Islam. The work is to be 6 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page. “Under Islam, the Divine Law is a religious obligation and is enforceable even if there is no ruler to impose it (Fitzgerald 1955). This law comes directly from the Holy Quran. But the major source of the application of the law comes from the Hadith which is the divinely authorized source of this law. Unlike the law made by humans, the Divine law is such that it is not possible to separate political or juristic theories from the Hadith of the Prophet (PBUH) that establish the rule of conduct in religious, domestic, social and political life (Jackson 1955).” (cited from Islamic Studies: "An introduction in understanding Prophet Mohammad's Texts (Hadith), Causes and Political Influences").

Allah has further put a seal of finality in the Prophet’s lifetime that all Devine laws have been sent for mankind and that there will be no need for any additional law in the future, "This day I have perfected your religion for you and completed my favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion."

The Law is also known as the Sharia and has been interpreted by scholars throughout the period from the demise of the Prophet. Due to differing interpretations, various sects have been formed. major among them being Sunnis and Shiites. These have been subdivided again into various sub-sects. One of the sub-sects of Sunnis is the Sufi sect.

Since the Prophet lived his life in accordance with the Holy Quran, his deeds, actions, and practices have become a role model of how a Muslim ought to lead his life. The entire life of the Prophet has been written down by several authors, both Muslims and Non-Muslims and all facets have been thoroughly covered. While there is no dispute about the words of the Holy Quran as it is a revelation that came directly to the Prophet, there are slightly different versions of the sayings or Hadith of the Prophet as they were mostly recorded much after his passing away. It is the disparity between them that has been the main cause of sectarian Islam. The differing sects have chosen some Hadith over others to emphasize the importance and relevance to support their views, one of them being the Sufi sect.
