emerged who invented lies against God. Since these communities did
not take the Qur'an as their guide, they could call whatever they

lawful." Our Lord says in the Qur'an:

You who believe! Do not make unlawful the good things God has
made lawful for you, and do not overstep the limits. God does not
love people who overstep the limits. (Qur'an, 5:87)

The superstitious system applied under the name of Sharia, yet
which is completely incompatible with Islam, is a result of being dis-
tanced from the Qur'an. The true Sharia set out in verses, the true path
of the Qur'an in other words, can be defined as follows:

The Sharia of the Qur'an requires that a Muslim be modern, well-groomed,
noble, wise, cultured, democratic, open-minded, respectful of all ideas and full
of love. The Sharia of the Qur'an is based on brotherhood, peace and love. War,
cruelty, hatred, anger and conflict are all forbidden to Muslims in the Qur'an.
Those who wish to know the true Sharia must look to the Qur'an alone.
