Hukm, mulk da sultan suna da ma'ana ɗaya, wato ikon zartar da dokoki, ko kuma aikin shugabanci (al-imarah) wanda Shari'a ta wajabta wa Musulmi kafawa.

Ruling (al-hukm), reign (al-mulk) and authority (al-sultan) have the same meaning which is the authority that executes the rules, or it is the task of the leadership (al-imarah) which the Shar’a has made an obligation on Muslims to establish. The task of al-imarah is to avert injustice and to settle disputes that may arise. In other words the ruling means the guardianship, as revealed by Allah (swt). He (swt) says:

"Ku bi Allah, ku bi Manzon Allah, da waɗanda suke da iko daga cikinku." [TMQ An-Nisa: 59] Kuma Shi (SWT) yana cewa:

“Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those of you in authority.” [TMQ An- Nisa: 59] And He (swt) also says:

"Da ma sun mayar da shi ga Manzon Allah ﷺ da kuma ga masu iko daga cikinsu." [TMQ An-Nisa': 83] Saboda haka, yin hukunci yana nufin lura da al'amuran mutane da himma.

“If they had only referred it to the Messenger and those among them with authority.” [TMQ An-Nisa’: 83] Therefore to rule is to actively look after the people’s affairs.

Since Islam is an ideology that covers the state, society and life as a whole, the ruling becomes part of it, and the Muslims are commanded to implement this ruling by establishing the state i.e. to govern by the Islamic laws. A host of verses have been revealed in the Qur’an confirming the obligation of ruling by what Allah (swt) has revealed. Allah (swt) says:

Saboda haka ka yi hukunci a tsakaninsu da abin da Allah ya saukar, kuma kada ka bi son zuciyarsu, ka bar gaskiyar da ta zo maka. [TMQ Al-Ma’idah: 48]

“So judge between them by that which Allah has revealed and follow not their desires away from the truth that has come to you.” [TMQ Al-Ma’idah: 48]

Shi ma (SWT) ya ce:

He (swt) also says:

"Ka yi hukunci a tsakanin su da abin da Allah Ya saukar, kuma kada ka bi son ransu, kuma ka yi taka-tsantsan da su, kada su karkatar da kai daga wani sashe na abin da Allah Ya saukar maka." [TMQ Al-Ma’idah: 49]

“Judge between them by that which Allah has revealed and follow not their desires and beware of them lest they seduce you from some part of that which Allah has revealed to you.” [TMQ Al-Ma’idah: 49]

“Duk wanda bai yi hukunci da abin da Allah ya saukar ba, to waɗancan kafirai ne.” [TMQ Al-Ma’idah: 44]

“Whosoever does not judge by that which Allah has revealed, such are disbelievers.” [TMQ Al-Ma’idah: 44]

"Duk wanda bai yi hukunci da abin da Allah ya saukar ba, to waɗannan su ne azzalumai." [TMQ Al-Ma’idah: 45]

“Whosoever does not judge by that which Allah has revealed, such are oppressors.” [TMQ Al-Ma’idah: 45]

“Whosoever does not judge by that which Allah has revealed, such are transgressors.” [TMQ Al-Ma’idah: 47]

Shi ma (SWT) ya ce:

He (swt) also says:

"Amma a'a, na rantse da Ubangijinka, ba za su yi imani ba har sai sun sanya ka ka zama mai hukunci a cikin dukan sabanin da ke tsakaninsu, sannan ba za su sami wani ƙunci a cikin zukatansu game da hukuncinka ba, amma su karɓa da cikakkiyar miƙa wuya." [TMQ 4:65]

“But no, by your Lord, they can have no (real) faith until they make you judge in all disputes between them and find in their souls no resistance against your decisions, but accept them with the fullest submission.” [TMQ 4:65]

“And if you judge between people, judge with justice.” [TMQ An-Nisa: 58]

This is in addition to many other verses dealing with ruling as an authority and power. Other verses have also been revealed providing details with respect to the different areas of ruling; some regarding military legislation, political legislation, criminal legislation, social legislation and the legislation of transactions as well as others. Allah (swt) says:

"Ku yaƙi waɗanda suke kusa da ku daga cikin kafirai, kuma bari su sami tsauri daga gare ku." [TMQ At-Tauba: 123]

“If you come on them in the war, deal with them so as to strike fear in those who are behind them, that they may remember. If you fear treachery from any group throw back (their covenant) to them (so as to be) on equal terms.” [TMQ Al-Anfal: 57- 58]

Thus, we find the broad lines of the legislation in its various aspect, including the military, criminal, political and transactions evident in hundreds of verses in addition to the numerous sound Ahadith of the Messenger of Allah (pbuh), which have all been revealed to be implemented and executed. They have effectively been implemented in the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (pbuh), the period of the Khulafaa’ Ar-Rashidoon, as well as during the ruling of the Khulafaa’ who came after them. This could only prove that Islam is a system for ruling and state, for society and life, and for the Ummah and the individuals. It also proves that the state has no authority for ruling unless it adheres to the Islamic system. Islam would have no existence unless it was alive, represented by a state that implements its rules. Islam is a deen (religion) and an ideology, with the State and the ruling system being part of it. The State is the only legal body that Islam has laid down to implement its laws and execute them in public life. Islam would not exist without a state that implements it under all conditions. Furthermore, the State is a political and human entity, not a holy or spiritual one. It has no sainthood and its leader has no infallible characteristics.

The ruling system is the one that determines the shape of the State and its character, its foundation, pillars and bodies, and the basis upon which it is built, together with the basic thoughts, concepts and the criterion with which it looks after the affairs, as well as the constitution and the laws it It is a distinct and unique system for a distinct and unique state, being totally different from all other systems known to mankind whether in terms of the basis upon which it is built or the thoughts, concepts and criteria with which it deals with people’s affairs, or the shape that it takes or the laws and constitution it implements.
