Mfumo wa Kimahakama na Adhabu za Dola ya Kiislamu ulitekelezwa katika kila kipindi tangu wakati wa Mtume ﷺ huko Madinah, alipoanzisha Dola ya kwanza ya Kiislamu. Ulisuluhisha mizozo baina ya watu, ukalinda haki halali za jamii, na ukahakikisha kwamba wenye mamlaka wanawapa raia wa Dola haki zao kwa mujibu wa Shari'ah ya Kiislamu. Yote haya uliyafanya kwa namna ya hali ya juu, hadi wote wakakiri haki na uadilifu ambao uliwapa wale waliolindwa nao.

The Judicial System and Punishments of the Islamic State were implemented throughout every period from the time of the Prophet (saw) in Madinah, when he established the first Islamic State. It settled the disputes between the people, protected the legitimate rights of the community, and ensured that those in authority gave the citizens of the State their dues in accordance with the Shari‘ah of Islam. All this it did in a superior manner, such that it was acknowledged by all, the justice and propriety which it conferred upon those who were protected by it.

Hata hivyo, nguvu na mamlaka ambayo mahakama katika Uislamu inatoa havijengwi juu ya adhabu kali wala juu ya dhulma kwa watu. Badala yake, nguvu yake inatokana na ukweli kwamba inatoka katika 'aqeedah ya Kiislamu, ambayo inaweza kujibu matatizo yote yanayoweza kutokea maishani, na kwamba utekelezaji wake na utii kwake huchukuliwa kuwa ibadah (ibada). Kwa namna hii, historia imeonyesha kwamba katika idadi ndogo kiasi ya kesi tu ndipo mahakama ilipolazimika kutumia adhabu dhidi ya watu.

However, the strength and authority that the judiciary in Islam proffers is not built upon harsh punishments or oppression of the people. Rather, its power lies in the fact that it originates from the Islamic ‘aqeedah which is able to answer all the problems that may arise in life, and that its implementation and the obedience to it are considered as ibadat (worship). In this way, the history has shown that in only a relatively small number of cases did the judiciary have to resort to punishment of the people.

Mtazamo wa utii kwa Allah (SWT) na kuchukizwa na uhalifu ambao mifumo ya Dola ya Kiislamu - ambayo ni kitu kimoja kilichounganika, na ambayo mfumo wa mahakama ni sehemu yake moja - inawajengea watu, unatosha kuhakikisha kwamba haki na maelewano katika jamii vinatawala, na kwamba uhalifu ni jambo la pembeni.

The mentality of obedience to Allah (swt) and disapproval of crime that the systems of the Islamic State - which are an integrated whole and of which the judicial system is one part - inculcates into the people is enough to ensure that justice and harmony in society prevail, and that crime is a fringe activity.
