Al-Muqaddimāt al-MumahhidātIbn Rush al-Jadd

And He says:

“Indeed, We sent down the Torah, containing guidance and light. The prophets who submitted to Allah judged by it for the Jews, as did the devout scholars and rabbis, in accordance with Allah’s Scripture entrusted to their care, to which they were witnesses. So do not fear people, but fear Me, and do not sell My signs for a paltry price. Whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed—it is they who are the disbelievers.” [al-Mā’idah: 44]

He says:

“Whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed—it is they who are the wrongdoers.” [al-Mā’idah: 45]

He says:

“Let the people of the Gospel judge by what Allah has revealed therein. Whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed—it is they who are the defiantly disobedient.” [al-Mā’idah: 47]

He says:

“If you judge, then judge between them justly. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly.” [al-Mā’idah: 42]

He, exalted is He, says:

“O David, We have appointed you a successor on earth, so judge between people in truth and do not follow desire, lest it lead you astray from Allah’s way. Indeed, those who stray from Allah’s way will suffer a severe punishment for having forgotten the Day of Reckoning.” [Sād: 26]

He, exalted is He, says:

“O you who believe, stand firmly for justice as witnesses for Allah, even against yourselves, your parents, or your close relatives. Whether one is rich or poor, Allah is best able to care for both. So do not follow your desires, lest you depart from justice. If you distort your testimony or refuse to give it, Allah is indeed fully aware of what you do.” [al-Nisā’: 135]

Section

He made it obligatory upon people to submit to them, obey them, and comply with their judgments. He, exalted is He, says:

“But no, by your Lord, they will not believe until they make you judge concerning that over which they dispute.” [al-Nisā’: 65] To the end of the verse.

He, exalted is He, says:

وقال: ﴿إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَا التَّوْرَاةَ فِيهَا هُدًى وَنُورٌ يَحْكُمُ بِهَا النَّبِيُّونَ الَّذِينَ أَسْلَمُوا لِلَّذِينَ هَادُوا وَالرَّبَّانِيُّونَ وَالأَحْبَارُ بِمَا اسْتُحْفِظُوا مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَكَانُوا عَلَيْهِ شُهَدَاءَ فَلا تَخْشَوُا النَّاسَ وَاخْشَوْنِ وَلا تَشْتَرُوا بِآيَاتِي ثَمَنًا قَلِيلا وَمَنْ لَمْ يَحْكُمْ بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْكَافِرُونَ﴾ [المائدة: ٤٤]. وقال: ﴿وَمَنْ لَمْ يَحْكُمْ بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ﴾ [المائدة: ٤٥]. وقال: ﴿وَلْيَحْكُمْ أَهْلُ الإِنْجِيلِ بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فِيهِ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَحْكُمْ بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْفَاسِقُونَ﴾ [المائدة: ٤٧]. وقال: ﴿وَإِنْ حَكَمْتَ فَاحْكُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْقِسْطِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِطِينَ﴾ [المائدة: ٤٢]. وقال تعالى: ﴿يَا دَاوُدُ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَاكَ خَلِيفَةً فِي الأَرْضِ فَاحْكُمْ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ بِالْحَقِّ وَلا تَتَّبِعِ الْهَوَى فَيُضِلَّكَ عَنْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَضِلُّونَ عَنْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌ بِمَا نَسُوا يَوْمَ الْحِسَابِ﴾ [ص: ٢٦]. وقال تعالى: ﴿يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُونُوا قَوَّامِينَ بِالْقِسْطِ شُهَدَاءَ لِلَّهِ وَلَوْ عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ أَوِ الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَالأَقْرَبِينَ إِنْ يَكُنْ غَنِيًّا أَوْ فَقِيرًا فَاللَّهُ أَوْلَى بِهِمَا فَلا تَتَّبِعُوا الْهَوَى أَنْ تَعْدِلُوا وَإِنْ تَلْوُوا أَوْ تُعْرِضُوا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرًا﴾ [النساء: ١٣٥]. فصل وفرض لهم على الناس التسليم والطاعة والانقياد، فقال تعالى: ﴿فَلا وَرَبِّكَ لا يُؤْمِنُونَ حَتَّى يُحَكِّمُوكَ فِيمَا شَجَرَ بَيْنَهُمْ﴾ [النساء: ٦٥] الآية. وقال تعالى:
