Abstract
A defining belief common to all Muslims is recognition of the so called ninety-nine names of Allah
as describing the attributes that define Allah’s essence and actions. All 99 names accentuate Divine
Providence, some more directly than others. All names emphasize God’s sustenance, guidance,
governance, mercy, care, love and healing. Compared to other theologies, the Qur'an emphasizes
the doctrine of the Universality of Divine Attributes (notably providence), which is not confined
to time, place, or people; much more clearly than other monotheistic theologies. Moreover,
according to the Qur'an Islam is a religion addressed to all mankind not just Muslims.
Man according to Islam is not necessarily sinful, estranged or isolated. Significantly, Islam does
not recognize that human suffering relates to any intrinsic conflict or strained composition.
Admittedly, suffering can occur incidentally but not necessarily. This stands at odds with all the
conflict presuppositions in other contemporary creeds. The discrepancy between Islam and other
creeds reaches its utmost peak in dealing with the path to redemption or obtaining peace of mind
(associated with psychological well being)
In Islam the answer to sustained, lifelong peace of mind is, in short, abiding by Shariah. Shariah
is the divine guidance for man that shapes man’s entire way of life.
So- contrary to the commonly held belief- Shariah is not simply a legal code; rather it is the path
that delineates moral, legal and social norms for both individuals and societies. This path includes
acts of worship; communal dealings such as commerce, finance and family laws; ethics and
manners; civil and criminal law; governance and inter-governmental relations to mention but a few
(not to speak of actions of the heart, {al-A’amal al-Qalbia})
