About this episode

This episode explores the concept of Sharia law and its significance in the life of Muslims.

Sharia law is the comprehensive legal and moral code that guides every aspect of a Muslim’s life, from religious rituals to social justice and personal conduct. The word “Sharia” literally means “the path to the water hole,” symbolizing a clear, life-giving way to live in obedience to God. For Muslims, following Sharia isn’t just about following rules; it’s about submitting to the will of Allah in hopes of living a righteous life and earning a place in Paradise. -- The PursueGOD Truth podcast is the “easy button” for making disciples – whether you’re looking for resources to lead a family devotional, a small group at church, or a one-on-one mentoring relationship.
