The text of both the Qur‟an and Sunnah address many topics such as, stories of previous nations, the Day of Judgment, and others. However, the text, which specifically addresses our actions of what to do or what not to do, is referred to as Hukm Shar‟i.

The term Hukm Shar‟i, in Arabic, means the address of the Legislator related to our actions. Islam addresses all of our actions, whether they are permitted or not. Accordingly, all of our actions have to be guided by the Hukm Shar‟i. Allah (swt) says:

"Duk wanda bai yi hukunci da abin da Allah ya saukar ba, to waɗannan su ne azzalumai." (TMQ Al-Ma'ida: 45)

“Whoso rules not according to what Allah has sent down they are the transgressors.” (TMQ Al-Maidah: 45)

"Ba ya halatta ga wani mumini namiji ko mace, idan Allah da ManzonSa suka yanke hukunci a kan wani al'amari, su sami zaɓi a kan kansu game da al'amuransu. Duk wanda ya yi tawaye ga Allah da ManzonSa, to, ya ɓace cikin ɓata bayyananniya." (TMQ Al-Ahzab: 36)

“It is not for any believing man or woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decided a matter, to have any choice for themselves in their affairs. For whoever rebels against Allah and His Messenger has gone astray into manifest error.” (TMQ Al-Ahzab: 36)
