In the Name of
Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful

4:59. O you who
believe! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority from amongst
you. Then if you believe in Allah and the Hereafter and quarrel on anything,
refer it to Allah and the Messenger. That is better, and it is the best
solution.41
41. This Verse gives the basic principle
of jurisprudence in Islam. Since the Messenger is no longer living amidst
mankind now, the only source for reference is Allah Himself. And the Qur'aan is
His Book of Guidance especially given to mankind for the purpose. The Qur'aan
therefore ought to be the final reference on any dispute. Allah assures us here
that this final source for reference would provide the best solution. We have
but to trust Him. About the directive to obey the Messenger, please see the
blog post Obeying the Messenger, for further information.
