It is for this reason that an eminent Islamic thinker like Maulana Abdul Kalam Azad made a distinction between Din (the essence of religion) and Shari'ah (the laws governing socio-religious behaviour).
The Maulana maintained, and rightly so, that while Din is one (his well-known doctrine of Wahdat-e-din), the Shari'ah differs from time to time and society to society.
