The Shariah laws were ALL written long after Mohammad was dead. They have nothing to do with Allah ~ more like minor cases taken to authorities to resolve disputes. Kind of like using traffic court instead of legislative bodies ~ amateur judge made law is what it is.
They stopped making more laws about 1000 AD.
These are the people who decided they had quite enough laws and didn't need any more of them ~

Interesting biography published in 1913.
That's true. Same has been & can be said about the written Koran. Mohammad himself (a bedouin Arab) was said to have been illiterate.

Allah, itself, was a pre-Islamic deity in Arabia, but then chosen & accepted as the God by Mohammad, his immediate disciples, and moslems, as part of Islam.
I wouldn't say "minor cases" regarding Sharia at all. Broadly, 2 sources are used for Sharia law. One is the Koran, and the second, the Sunnahs "traditions of the prophet i.e. Mohammad". Sharia deals w/ many topics & elements that secular law deals with. Inclusive of various crimes, politics, economics, family & social matters, adultery, dietary requirements, prayers, fasting and so on.. Sharia law is very codified & Islamic scholars, muftis or mullahs, are required to be trained & well versed in these laws.
But, the fact that Sharia is not only based on theology, but also on pre-Islamic Arabic culture can't be denied. Similarly, it has borrowed some elements from preceding religions in the ME.
