In countries with strong Islamic influence their state laws are based around Shari'ah. This affects areas like individual morality, lifestyle, education and the role of women. This obviously influences and changes the life of people living in these countries. Islam itself literally translated means submission, as in their submission to Allah through their obedience to his laws and teachings. This in return expresses their love to Allah and willingness to follow his ways and thus in return they are permitted to paradise assuming they follow his teachings. All Muslims treat the Qur'an with respect and worship because it is sacred, as it is directly from Allah. It is always written in Arabic so it can never be changed.
