Divine laws are called taklīf because they are sent from the Master, glory be to him, and it is necessary for the mukallaf [muslim adult] to obey them.

So, taklīf means a forced action given to an [muslim] adult by the Master, glory be to him. These actions encompass different aspects of man's life, for example his personal life, his worship, his family life and his social life.

These laws give order to his life.
