Surah Al-Ma'idah, Verse 48
وَأَنزَلْنَا إِلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ بِالْحَقِّ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ وَمُهَيْمِنًا عَلَيْهِ ۖ فَاحْكُم بَيْنَهُم بِمَا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ أَهْوَاءَهُمْ عَمَّا جَاءَكَ مِنَ الْحَقِّ
"And We have revealed to you the Book in truth, confirming that which preceded it of the Scripture and as a criterion thereof. So judge between them by what Allah has revealed and do not follow their inclinations away from what has come to you of the truth."
And We have revealed to you the Book in truth, confirming that which preceded it of the Scripture and as a criterion thereof. So judge between them by what Allah has revealed and do not follow their inclinations away from what has come to you of the truth.
اور ہم نے تمہارے پاس حق کے ساتھ یہ کتاب نازل کی ہے، جو اس سے پہلے کی کتابوں کی تصدیق کرتی ہے اور ان کا نگران ہے۔ پس ان کے درمیان اس سے فیصلہ کرو جو اللہ نے نازل کیا ہے، اور اپنی خواہشات کی پیروی نہ کرو اس حق سے جو تمہارے پاس آیا۔
Explanation
The Qur'an's authority as criterion and guardian over previous scriptures; judges must rule by divine guidance, not preference.
Context
Affirms Quranic authority and the judge's duty to impartial judgment.
