Here are some quotes of authoritative legal texts of Islamic law which spell out what Sharia law entails. Manual of Islamic Sacred Law (Shafi'i School)
pg. 613 "THE PENALTY FOR THEFT…. A person's right hand is amputated, whether he is a Muslim, non-Muslim subject of the Islamic state, or someone who has left Islam…."
pg. 616 "THE PENALTY FOR HIGHWAY ROBBERY…. If he steals the equivalent of 1.058 grams of gold…, both his right hand and left foot are amputated…. If the highwayman robs and kills, he is killed and then left crucified for three days."
pg. 610 "THE PENALTY FOR FORNICATION OR SODOMY…. If the offender is someone with the capacity to remain chaste, then he or she is stoned to death…."
pg. 595 "APOSTASY FROM ISLAM (RIDDA)…. When a person who has reached puberty and is sane voluntarily apostatizes from Islam, he deserves to be killed."
pg. 617 "THE PENALTY FOR DRINKING…. The penalty for drinking is to be scourged forty stripes, with hands, sandals, and ends of clothes. It may be administered with a whip, but if the offender dies, an indemnity… is due… for his death." [This penalty applies only to Muslims.]
In each case, there is also a list of qualifiers for who should be punished.
