News of the Judges (Volume Two)

In this section of "News of Judges," the author takes us on a delightful contemplative journey through pages filled with rare judicial incidents and stories brimming with wisdom and justice. Some of these incidents are striking for their unusual details, while others are admirable for their extreme fairness and precision of judgment. Yet, they all come together to paint a radiant picture of Islamic justice, a judiciary founded on piety, nurtured by the principles of Sharia, and striving to establish justice not merely as a legal goal but as a sublime moral value.
This volume is rich in content and diversity, recounting judicial experiences from various regions, from the Hijaz to Andalusia, from Baghdad to Egypt. It reveals a diversity of personalities and a multiplicity of contexts, without losing sight of the unifying theme: the spirit of justice that has remained present despite the differences in environments and times. In every incident, we find a trace of a judge who upheld justice and redressed injustice with complete impartiality and piety, as if the scales of Sharia were unshakeable in his hands. Here, the book is not content with being a mere record of history, but rather rises to become an educational discourse that addresses the conscience, awakens thought, and reminds every official of the sanctity of their position. Through these texts, we perceive the greatness of the judiciary when it is a responsibility fulfilled with sincerity, not a position to be exploited. We see how rulings delivered centuries ago still pulsate with wisdom and fairness.
