Divine (allah’s) Judgment (hokm) Versus Human Judgment (hokm)

Conclusion

In conclusion, everything in this life must proceed under the governance of the divine judgment and verdict in order for justice to prevail on earth, whether it is political, social, economical, judicial, or religious matters. Even the personal matters such marriage, divorce, inheritance, and family relations with each other must fall under the umbrella of divine judgment.

We can refer back to the Treatise of Rights (رسالة الحقوق) by Imam Zainul Abideen (AS) to have a better understanding in terms of your relationship with your land, country, society, neighbor, blood relations, studies, activities, work, property, education, and everything which must be ruled by Allah’s law and judgment and not by the human desire, etc.

Indeed, the return of the Caliphate to the Imam of our Time (may Allah hasten his reappearance) symbolizes the true return of abidance to the divine judgment. At that time, the human judgment will be nullified. Once that happens, the earth and world will be filled with justice and equity and this is exactly the meaning of the Prophet’s words when he said:

“He will fill the earth with equity and justice (because his judgment will be aligned with Allah’s judgment)after it was filled with injustice and oppression (due to human judgment which deviates from the divine judgment).

May we be granted the ability and success to align our human judgments with the divine judgments, and to observe justice and equity in all our matters. May Allah (SWT) reward Muhammad (SA) and his purified household, and praise be to Him for guiding us for we would not have been guided if He (SWT) did not guide us.
