Islam

Islam is guided by mainly three texts. The first and foremost is Quran, the holy dictate by Allah (the almighty . . . god) to the messenger Mohammed or through him to the humanity.  But that is not the usual Mohammed! Quran's dictates used to be revealed only when needed/ asked for . . . and then Mohammed used to go to TRANS in which condition the the teachings of Quran used to be revealed! Most of the time those were the stressed situations. There are total 114 such TRANS, teachings of each trans making one SURA (chapter) of Quran.
So, Quran is highly specific document. It cant be and should not be implied in otherwise situations. Its also important to understand that the dictates have changed depending upon the situation, so if implied from a wrong situation, it goes wrong! Its not as per Quran, its not as per Islam! Otherwise Quran, being dictate from Allah, is non debatable!
But Messenger Mohammed was a man of high morals and precious qualities which made an orphan one of the biggest emperors of history of human kind. Teachings from his life, his normal human, is documented in HADEETH. Its not a dictate and so not a must but should be followed.
Shariya is the law book. Its not the dictate. Its not from messenger Mohammed even. But its just another government enforced law. Its basically the intellect of Saudi at work. Its influenced by Islam/ messenger Mohammed as well when it comes to the core level. But not all the time. Obviously not the must.
