[Penisvergroesserung]

The Sovereignty resides solely with Allah.

Translation of the Holy Quran;

6:57: "...[AL hukmu] The command rests with none but Allah. He declares the truth, and He is the best of judges."

6:62 "Then are men returned unto Allah, their protector, the (only) reality: Is not His the command [al hukmu]? and He is the swiftest in taking account.

12:40 "If not Him, ye worship nothing but names which ye have named,- ye and your fathers,- for which Allah hath sent down no authority: [al hukmu] the command is for none but Allah. He hath commanded that ye worship none but Him: that is the right religion, but most men understand not..."

5:48-50:
"And unto thee have We revealed the Scripture with the Truth, confirming whatever Scripture was before it, and a watcher over it. So [fahkum]rule/judge between them by that which Allah hath revealed, and follow not their desires away from the truth which hath come unto thee. For each We have appointed a [shir3aatan] Divine Law and a traced-out way. Had Allah willed He could have made you one community. But that He may try you by that which He hath given you (He hath made you as ye are). So vie one with another in good works. Unto Allah ye will all return, and He will then inform you of that wherein ye differ. (48)
So [fahkum] rule/judge between them by that which Allah hath revealed, and follow not their desires, but beware of them lest they seduce thee from some part of that which Allah hath revealed unto thee. And if they turn away, then know that Allah's Will is to smite them for some sin of theirs. Lo! many of mankind are evil-livers. (49)

[afhukmi] Is it a judgment of the time of [jahiliyiah](pagan) ignorance that they are seeking? Who is better than Allah for judgment to a people who have certainty (in their belief)? (50) "


As one can follow in these ayaat, the word "hukmu" and its derivative plays a key rule regarding sovereignty, legal authority to rule and judgement, and the source of ruling.
'Hukmu' is sovereignty to determine the commands.

'Hukm' is both judge and rule, as in that time, the time of the Prophet (saaw) in particular, the ruler and judge were embodied in one office as well as separated as two different offices ( various sahabi were judges at the same time as the Prophet (saw) was both ruler and judge).




Allah (SWT) addresses this by giving examples of the previous peoples, ahlil kitab, and how they manipulated their revelations to suit their circumstances. Like us today, Bani Israel were dominated by the Roman pagan empire and they altered their ways to correspond, or 'coexist'. Its no surprise then, that 5:50 raises the exact issue of which Way should believers follow: the Way which Allah (SWT) has revealed, or the way of Jahiliyah, which can be interpretted as applying to democracy as well. Democracy being a specific system adopted by the pagan Greeks and revived by the Western powers millenia later as part of their Enlightenment from Judeo Christian tyranny.

Thus, why do we seek the judgement of jahili systems when the command of Allah is clear?



Note Sofian's claim:


As regards your second post - good idea, but you're presupposing the Sharia is infallible. We must remember that the Shariah is 'man made' - it consists of fiqh which is merely the opinion of classical jurists in expansionist Abassid Period - it isn't really divine .

Either this is an ignorant statement which is simply echoing propaganda, or its a diabolical statement meant to mislead Muslims, for which is condemnation and curses. In either case, it arrogantly and imperiously seeks to undermine the thoughts and sentiments of the Muslim Ummah towards Shariah.

Shariah is commonly understood to mean the divine guidance, commands and prohibitions of Allah.
The Hukm Sharii is the specific term used by the fuqaha to distinguish between the fiqh and the actual textual evidences.
Fiqh is the body of interpretations of Hukm Sharii.

Sofian's statement sought to mix Hukm Sharii with fiqh to render them all "manmade".


When the common people say "Shariah" in terms of ruling and governance, they MEAN "HUKM SHARII".

Anyone who says Hukm Sharii is NOT divine upon knowing what it is, has committed kufr.

It is the motivation of enemies of Islam to attack Shariah, as is commonly understood pertaining to ruling.

and Allah knows Best.
