Core of Islamic Law or Shariah

The core of Islamic Law is preservation of:

1)    Religion 

2)    Life

3)    Family

4)    Mind

5)    Wealth

6) Some contemporary scholars suggest either justice or liberty to be the sixth category.

In the vision of Islam, they are known as “essentials” because they are considered essential to human welfare.

In conclude, if someone were to ask, what is the core of Islam in the fewest possible words, the answer would be, “it is within the word Islam itself: to serve, worship, and lovingly submit to God.”
