This article will analyse the Shari’ah Judicial System. Islam is a divine religion which deals with different issues related to all human needs, material and spiritual. Islam is not a set of rituals. It is both a religion and a perfect way of life. For a non-Muslim, religion may be a private relationship between man and his creator. But for a Muslim religion comprehends the whole of life. No sphere is left in which the thoughts and deeds of a Muslim – both in his personal and public life – are inconsequential to his fate in the hereafter. This is why Islam does not make a distinction between what is religious and what is secular, nor does it recognize division of authority between Allah and Caesar. In Islam, only Allah is the Law-giver, because He is the Creator. Allah therefore owns everything. Caesar, a creature of Allah, has nothing, except what has been entrusted to him by his Creator. Thus, all aspects of life-religious, educational, social, political, economic and legal have their legitimate place in the all-inclusive system of Islam. This is why Allah (SWT) calls upon Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) to say: “Verily, my prayer, my sacrifice, my living and my dying are for Allah, the Lord of the worlds” . This means that the whole life of man in all spheres should be an expression of complete submission to Allah, the Creator of the universe. One of the important issues that Islamic law in its sources gives due consideration is the administration of justice. Shari’ah in its system of administering justice deals comprehensively with the `system of judiciary’, in a way that cannot be found in any other system prevailing on the glove. In this paper, we are going to closely examine verses of the holy Qur’an, the primary source of shari’ah, in which Allah (SWT) talks about judicial system in its best form. The following topics are some of which will be studied in this paper, which all are directly or indirectly derived from the primary source of shari’ah (The holy Qur’an) |
