Abstract:
udgment in Shari’ah aims at deciding between,
litigants justly with the aim of settling their disputes in
accordance with the Injuctions of the divine law
5
.
Therefore, the issue of administering judgment in Islam is
a very difficult and sensitive area of Shari’ah. This is due
to some obvious reasons, firstly: many judges pass
judgment on cases either they do not have knowledge on
the matter or they treat the matter wrongfully or they
follow their selfish interest in p
assing out judgment
6
.
Secondly, Justice or judgment is an attribute of the
Almighty. (Al
-
Hakeem) the Judge and one who renders
judgment and man as vice
-
regent of Allah on earth is
saddled with that responsibility.
