The
Command or Judgement [HUKM] belongs to none but
Allah |
…The
command [Hukm] rests with none but Allah… [6:57,
12:40, 12:67]
…To Him
belongs the Command [Hukm]…[6:62, 28:70, 28:88]
…the
Command [Hukm] is with Allah, the most High, the Most Great
[40:12]
Allah does
not share His Command [HUKM] with anyone, (not even with the
Prophet [p.b.u.h])
…He does
not share his Command [Hukm] with anyone [18:26]
Allah
commands the Prophet [p.b.u.h] to proclaim that Allah is the
only One who can command
Proclaim (O
Muhammad): "Our god, Initiator of the heavens and the earth,
Knower of all secrets and declarations, You are the only
One who judges [tahkumu] among Your servants regarding
their disputes." [39:46]
Say (O
Muhammad): "Shall I seek for judge [HAKAMan] other than
Allah? - when He it is Who hath sent unto you the Book,
explained in detail." They know full well, to whom We
have given the Book, that it hath been sent down from thy
Lord in truth. Never be then of those who doubt. [6:114]
Allah
commands the Prophet [p.b.u.h] to judge or command [HUKM]
according to Allah’s revelation
To thee (O
Muhammad) We sent the Scripture in truth, confirming the
scripture that came before it, and guarding it in safety: so
judge [HUKM] between them by what Allah hath revealed,
and follow not their vain desires, diverging from the Truth
that hath come to thee. To each among you have we prescribed
a law and an open way. If Allah had so willed, He would have
made you a single people, but (His plan is) to test you in
what He hath given you: so strive as in a race in all
virtues. The goal of you all is to Allah; it is He that will
show you the truth of the matters in which ye dispute;[5:48]
And so (O
Muhammad) judge or rule or command [Hukm] among them in
accordance with GOD's revelations to you.
Do not follow their wishes, and beware lest they divert you
from some of GOD's revelations to you. If they turn away,
then know that GOD wills to punish them for some of their
sins. Indeed, many people are wicked. [5:49]
Is it the law
of the days of ignorance that they seek to uphold? Whose
HUKM is better than GOD's for those who have attained
certainty? [5:50]
Allah
re-iterates to the Prophet [p.b.u.h] that He has sent down
to him the Book so that he judges or commands [Hukm]
according to it
We have
sent down to you the scripture, truthfully, in order to
judge[HUKM] among the people in accordance with what GOD has
shown you. You shall
not side with the betrayers. [4:105]
The
Judgement or the Command [HUKM] is in the Quran
Thus have
We revealed it to be a judgment of authority [Hukman]
in Arabic. Wert thou to follow their (vain) desires
after the knowledge which hath reached thee, then wouldst
thou find neither protector nor defender against Allah.
[13:37]
Judgement
or command [HUKM] with equity or truth [BIL-HAQ]
O David, we
have made you a ruler on earth. Therefore, you shall
judge among the people equitably [BIL-HAQ], and do not
follow your personal opinion, lest it diverts you from the
way of GOD. Surely, those who stray off the way of GOD incur
severe retribution for forgetting the Day of
Reckoning.[38:26]
Say: "O my
Lord! judge Thou in truth [BIL-HAQ]!" "Our Lord Most
Gracious is the One Whose assistance should be sought
against the blasphemies ye utter!" [21:112]
Quran is
Al-Haq [The Truth]
10:108 Say,
"O Mankind! Now has come to you [Al-Haq] the Truth from your
Lord. So whoever chooses to follow the right path, follows
it for his own “Self”. And whoever chooses to go astray,
goes astray to his own hurt. And I am not a guardian over
you."
Quran
guides towards Al-Haq [The Truth]
46:30 They
said, “O Our people! Behold, We have heard a Scripture that
has been revealed after Moses, confirming the Divine Origin
of what came before it. It guides to the Truth [Al-Haq] and
to a Straight Road."
Judgement
or command [HUKM] with equity [BIL-QIST]
(They are fond
of) listening to falsehood, of devouring anything forbidden.
If they do come to thee, either judge between them, or
decline to interfere. If thou decline, they cannot hurt thee
in the least. If thou judge, judge in equity between them.
For Allah loveth those who judge in equity [BIL-QIST].
[5:42]
Judgement
with equity [BIL-QIST] is also based on the BOOK
We sent
aforetime our messengers with Clear Signs and sent down with
them the Book and the Balance (of Right and Wrong), that men
may stand forth in justice [BIL-QIST];
and We sent down Iron, in which is (material for) mighty
war, as well as many benefits for mankind, that Allah may
test who it is that will help, Unseen, Him and His
messengers: For Allah is Full of Strength, Exalted in Might
(and able to enforce His Will). [57:25]
The word of
your Lord is complete, in truth and justice [ADL].
Nothing shall abrogate His words. He is the Hearer, the
Omniscient.[6:115]
No Prophet
[p.b.u.h] can say to people “Be my servants”
It is not
(right) that a man, to whom is given the Book, and Wisdom,
and the prophetic office, should say to people: "Be ye my
servants rather than Allah's":
on the contrary (He would say) "Be ye worshippers of Him Who
is truly the Cherisher of all: For ye have taught the Book
and ye have studied it earnestly."[3:79]
But there
will still be those who will turn away from the Book of
Allah
Hast thou not turned Thy vision
to those who have been given a portion of the Book? They
are invited to the Book of Allah, to settle their dispute,
but a party of them Turn back and decline (The arbitration).
[3:23]
