Abstract	Muslim law, which has its foundations in divine guidance, is principally based on the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) and the Quran. The foundation of Islamic jurisprudence is still established on divine revelation rather than institutions made by humans, even when current legal frameworks like the Shariat Act, 1937, and the Muslim Women (Protection on Divorce) Act, 1986, control particular elements of Muslim personal law. This study analyses the principles of Islamic law by looking at the Quran as the final source of law and the Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) duty as its messenger and interpreter. It demonstrates how religion was a divine power long before any prophet was created, living beyond of time and human meddling. This research investigates the Islamic notion of prophethood, revealing how multiple messengers were utilised to communicate divine truths. Despite the fact that Islam accepts 1,24,000 prophets, various verses in the Quran assert that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is the most significant of them. His specific contribution to completing divine law and securing its accurate interpretation is studied, especially in light of his life, teachings, and effect on legal traditions. The architecture of the 114 chapters and 6348 verses that make up the Quran is analysed to stress its organisation and legal value. Along with giving insights into their theological and historical basis, the research also addresses fundamental concepts of Muslim law, including divorce, polygamy, and adoption. It illustrates why adoption is not permitted under Islamic law, but acknowledgement is. It also looks at the history of polygamy, relating the restriction on taking more than four wives to times in the life of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It also looks at the first divorce verdict in the Prophet's time, demonstrating how Islamic legal systems are fair and humane. This study reveals that Muslim law is a comprehensive system of faith, morality, and justice rather than merely a legal framework by looking at these legal notions. It gives a fuller grasp of how human laws and Islamic jurisprudence are still moulded by divine direction in the modern day.
