Ok...the torah. According to the documents, it is the law that had been given to the descendents of Israel. It was a way of behaving and living. Whether there had ever been an oral law at that time is totally lacking in record, so one can only guess.
Here is one similarity between Judaism and Islam. Christianity, as given through the documents that we do have (and not all of them are in the New Testament) evidence a 'code of conduct' but part of that seems to be based on a matter of conscience--within a given range there is some flexibilty to act based on ones conscience. Otherwise, Christianity has no law.
How much, or what areas is freedom of conscience within a certain limit given in the Mosaic Law or the Sharia (sp?)?
