Article 1 : Shariah law shall be the Supreme Law of the Land save in accordance with the

law

Explanation:

The Shariah law would be the highest authority that governs over this Kingdom, any other
law besides it shall be consistent with Islamic teachings and in any event if imposed shall be
considered void as it is inconsistent with the constitution. Any other law can be implied as
long as it is aligned with the shariah law.

Surah Al- A’raf (7:3) “ Follow the revelation sent unto you from your Lord and do not follow
the ( so - called) guardians other than him

Surah Al- Ma’idah (5:92) “ Obey Allah and obey the messanger and beware! But if you turn
away, then know that our Messenger’s duty is only to deliver the message clearly

Hadith

Sahih Al- Bukhari (2955) : In a summary of what prophet SAW once told , we have to listen
and obey the ruler’s order unless there is law that requires one to do an act of disobedience to
Allah SWT. Which means any person shall not follow any law involving an act against the
teachings and commandment of Islam.

Article 2 : The regime derives its power from the Holy Qur'an and the Prophet's Sunnah
which rule over this kingdom accordingly.

Explanation :

Sovereignty belonging to Allah would imply that power emanates not from the consent of the
governed, not as a prerogative of the ruler but from Allah.

Authority :

Surah Yusuf 12:40: “The Command is for none but God: He hath commanded that ye obey
none but Him: that is the right path.”

Surah A’raaf 7:3: “Follow the revelation sent unto you from your Lord, and do not follow the
(so-called) guardians other than Him.

Article 3: The Prime Minister, who is elected by and among the residents of the Kingdom of
Ravka, will have the highest executive authority.

Explanation:
The Prime Minister, as the highest executive, is responsible for carrying out and enforcing the
law of the state; but, if the law contradicts Shariah, such enforcement is null and void.

Authority:

Al-Quran

Surah An-Nisa (4:59) “O believers! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in
authority among you. Should you disagree on anything, then refer it to Allah and His
Messenger, if you truly believe in Allah and the Last Day. This is the best and fairest
resolution.” This verse states that Allah is the ultimate authority on earth, and that anybody in
a position of responsibility must act in accordance with Allah's authority.

Hadith

"Whoever obeys me, obeys Allah, and whoever disobeys me, disobeys Allah," Allah's
Messenger remarked, according to Abu Huraira. "Whoever obeys the ruler I designate, obeys
me, and whoever disobeys him, disobeys me." The hadith states that the Prime Minister of
the Kingdom of Ravka must execute his executive authority in accordance with Al-Quran and
Sunnah teachings, and that failing to do so renders the authority outdated in the eyes of the
people.

Article 4 ; All the muslim community of the Kingdom has the duty of formulating its general

general policies with a view to cultivating the friendship and unity of all Muslims peoples.

Sunnah and the Prophet’s teaching shall be rendered void.

Authority:
Hadith

“anyone who obeys me has obeyed Allah, and anyone who has disobeyed me has disobeyed
Allah”

Article 6: In the Kingdom of Rakva, Hadith, Sunnah, and Al-Quran are used as primary
sources of law.

Explanation:

Before making a choice based on the law, the leader and parliament members must look at
any authorities based on the Hadith, Sunnah, and Al-Quran before referring to the law, and
decide which of the first steps of the decision are based on divine authorities rather than the
law itself, and then refer to the law itself.

Authority:

Al-Quran

Surah al-Baqarah verse 2 “this is the Book in which there is no doubt (Since its author Allah
the Creator of Universe) possesses complete and perfect knowledge, there is no room for
doubt of its content”. It has been stated that this book is Al-Quran, which is without a doubt
false and the best authority to refer to because it was Allah's own words, and that this is what
makes Al-Quran possess perfect knowledge in many areas.

Surah al-Nisa’ verse 59 where He says “O You Who believe! Obey Allah and obey the
Messenger and those charged with authority among you. If you differ in anything among
yourselves, refer it to Allah (Quran) and his Messenger (Sunnah)”. It is stated in the verse
that Allah wants us to obey Allah by obeying the person in charge of the authority itself, and
if this causes any confusion, Allah stated to refer to the Al-Quran and Sunnah.

Hadith

According to Muaz bin Jabal's hadith, when Muaz had a conversation with the Prophet before
leaving for his assignment as governor of Yemen, the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) verified
the technique for providing any hukm or judgements. It was revealed that the prophet
declared in this hadith that when making a decision, we must constantly turn to Al-Quran and
As-Sunnah. It doesn't matter what problem or issue always refers to Al-Quran and As-
Sunnah.

Article 7: Any changes to the law must be approved by the parliament members.

Explanation:

If members of the administration intend to enact any changes to the law, all members of the
parliament must convene to discuss the details, and 2/3 of the members must vote to make the
law official or enact the existing legislation. This article could be applied to any law in the
country.

Authority:

Al-Quran

Verse 38 of Surah Al-Syura “And those who have obeyed their Lord and established prayer,
and whose affairs are [determined by] consultation among themselves, and they spend from
what We have given them. It is stated in this verse that before making a decision, it is
important to discuss any issue or matter with the appropriate people.

Hadith

The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "If your brother requests
your consultation, let him give counsel," according to Sunan Ibn Majah. We can see that this
hadith emphasizes the importance of holding a consultation and discussing issues among
themselves if someone has a problem or concerns.

Article 8: In the Kingdom of Ravka, the Leader and all Muslims citizens must declare only
Allah as their sovereign.

Explanation:

All leaders and Muslims in the Kingdom of Rakva must have sovereignty over Allah;
however, this article does not apply to non-Muslims; non-Muslims' sovereignty is based on
the leaders in the Kingdom of Rakva; therefore, all decisions made by the leader must be
based on Allah references first.

Authority:

Al-Quran

Surah Adh-Dhariyat (51:58) “Indeed, Allah alone is the Supreme Provider (Lord of all
Power, Ever Mighty).” It is stated in this surah that Muslims must believe only in Allah, and
that every decision regarding the country must be based on Allah alone, because Allah is
superior to all beings, including the leader.

Surah Az-Zumar (39:6) “That is Allah your Lord! All authority belongs to Him. There is no
god worthy of worship except Him. How can you then be turned away?”It demonstrates that
only Allah has authority over everything in this verse of the Quran, and thus Muslims have
no need to worship anything other than Allah.

Article 9: Non-Muslims should be allowed to construct their own places of worship in the
kingdom.

Explanation:
The kingdom of Ravka should enable non-Muslims to construct their own places of worship
since the Syafi'i Madhab's viewpoint is consistent with Jumhr fuqh's ideas, which enable non-
Muslim minority to construct their own holy places in Muslim-dominated areas as long as
they obtain permission from the appropriate authorities.

Authority:

Al- Quran

Surah Al-Hajj (22:40) “If Allah had not checked individuals through others, there would have
been monasteries, cathedrals, synagogues, and mosques where Allah's name is frequently
mentioned.” In this circumstance, the Kingdom of Ravka must respect different religions and
provide assistance as necessary.

Hadith

Since the beginning of Islam, Arabic-speaking Jews and Christians have used the name
"Allah" to refer to God. The fact that Jews and Christians worship the same God, no matter
how erroneous their understanding of him may be, is vital, and their devotion necessitates
safeguarding. Allah the Exalted defends their places of worship that have been approved by
law. As a result, He always defends them, even if He dislikes something about them, just as
He enjoys defending their owners, even if He dislikes something about them. This is
significant because Quranic scriptures show that Islam prohibits the forcible conversion of
people of any faith.

Article 10: Any law must be based on divine authorities, such as the Quran, Sunnah, and
Hadith.

Explanation:

Any modifications in the legislation, or any leader from the administration who wants to
amend or enact law, must do so in accordance with the guidelines contained in the Al-Quran,
Sunnah, and Hadith. We may say that the Al-Quran, Sunnah, and Hadith are the first things to
refer to before enacting any law in the Kingdom of Rakva.

Authority:

Al-Quran

Surat an-Nisa verse 59 stated that “O you who believe, obey Allah, the Messenger, and those
in command among you. If you disagree about something, refer it back to Allah and the
Messenger, if you believe in Allah and the Last Day. That is the best thing to do and gives the
best result.” In this surah, Allah commands us to obey him and his messenger, as stated in the
Quran and Sunnah, and to abandon what needs to be abandoned, as stated in the Quran,
Sunnah, and Hadith.

Surat an-Nisa verse 115 stated that “but if anyone opposes the Messenger after the guidance
has become clear to him, and follows a path other than that of the believers, We will hand
him over to whatever he has turned to, and We will roast him in Hell. What an evil
destination!” We can see from this verse that any decision made into law or enacted with a
different path must be based on the Al-Quran. According to the Sunnah and the Quran, this
verse will lead to an evil destination, which could result in a terrible decision and chaos in the
country.
