Ini adalah garis panduan asas bagi struktur sistem kehakiman Negara Islam. Butiran-butirannya menyediakan panduan yang menyeluruh, baik bagi struktur mahupun fungsi badan kehakiman, dengan cara yang memastikan matlamat keadilan di bawah Islam tercapai. Namun, sistem ini mengekalkan integritinya bukan hanya melalui bimbingan dan penjelasan hukum-hukum Ilahi. Ia memiliki cara untuk melaksanakan dengan berkesan keputusan dan hukuman yang dicapai oleh mahkamah - iaitu hukuman (al-‘Uqubat).

These are the basic outlines of the structure of the Judicial system of the Islamic State. Their details provide comprehensive guidelines for both the structure and function of the judiciary, in such a way as to ensure that the objectives of justice under Islam are fulfilled. However, it is not only by means of guidance and clarification of the divine rules that the system maintains its integrity. It has at its disposal the means of effectively enforcing the decisions and judgements that are arrived at by the courts - the punishment (al-‘Uqubat).
