Al Mā’idah

أَفَحُكْمَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يَبْغُونَ وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ مِنَ اللّهِ حُكْمًا لِّقَوْمٍ يُوقِنُونَ

The best law is the one whose legislator is qualified with the following conditions:

1. To be aware of all the secrets of the world of existence and those of man, both for the present and future.

2. The Legislator should have no aim of gaining profits.

3. He should not have any fault of any kind, whether intentional or unintentional.

4. He might not be afraid of any power.

These conditions are gathered in Allah. And, who is better than Allah to judge? That is why those who, having the Divine laws available for them, refer to the laws made by human beings pave the path of paganism and infidelity. Therefore, any law of man, which contrasts the law of Allah, is considered as the law of pagans. The reason is that these laws of man have been legislated on the basis of vain desires, fears, avarices, ignorance, mistakes, and imaginations.

We must also know that ignorance does not belong to only a period. Whenever people separate from the law of Allah, that time is the period of ignorance. May Allah protect us all from aberration.
