A quick definition of divine law:

Divine law is God's law, which is different from human law. It is also known as natural law, which is a set of moral principles based on what is right and wrong. It is not made by people, but it is believed to come from a universal understanding of human nature or divine justice. Natural law is like the rules of nature, such as gravity, that cannot be changed by humans. It is also a way to critique old ideas and create new ones based on reason and values. Natural law demands the abolition of inequality or privilege.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Divine law refers to God's law, which is distinct from human law. It is also known as natural law, which is a philosophical system of legal and moral principles that is believed to come from a universalized conception of human nature or divine justice, rather than from legislative or judicial action.

Examples: One example of divine law is the Ten Commandments, which are believed to have been given to Moses by God on Mount Sinai. These commandments are considered to be the foundation of moral and ethical behavior for many religions, including Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Another example is the concept of karma in Hinduism and Buddhism, which is the belief that a person's actions in this life will determine their fate in the next life.

Explanation: Divine law is based on the belief that there is a higher power or force that governs the universe and sets the standards for moral and ethical behavior. It is considered to be universal and unchanging, and is believed to apply to all people, regardless of their culture or religion. The examples of the Ten Commandments and karma illustrate how divine law is used to guide behavior and shape beliefs in different religions and cultures.
