Assalam alaykum,

In Ayat 65 of Surat Nisa'i of the Holy Qur'an (4:65), Allah, Azzah Wa Jallah, says:--

"BUT NO, BY YOUR LORD! THEY WILL NEVER TRULY BELIEVE UNTIL THEY MAKE YOU
(O Muhammad) THE JUDGE OF WHAT IS IN DISPUTE BETWEEN THEM AND FIND
WITHIN THEMSELVES NO DISLIKE OF THAT WHICH YOU DECIDE, AND THEY SUBMIT
WITH FULL SUBMISSION."

With this Noble Ayat, it is as if Allah Ta'ala is saying that this affair is not like they assume. They/We cannot connect to Allah without following the necessity of following His Messenger, Peace be upon him. "THEY WILL NEVER TRULY BELIEVE", in Me and in you O Muhammad, "UNTIL THEY MAKE YOU THE JUDGE", ie make you the criterion of Judgement regarding their rights; "...AND FIND WITHIN THEMSELVES NO DISLIKE OF THAT WHICH YOU DECIDE", ie they find no constraints or distress in what you have judged in your judgement; "....AND THEY SUBMIT WITH FULL SUBMISSION"- ie that they confine themselves completely and perfectly to all your judgements thoroughly, and be guided in all they do by your decisions, as a covenant between you and them.

This Ayat is an answer to those who claim that it is sufficient for them in their religion to follow the Book of Allah only, without following the Sunnah of His Messenger. They claim that the Sunnah and the Prophetic Traditions have weaknesses and obscurities. Whoever claims thus faces the danger of disbelief as this Noble Ayat clarifies. So, Beware...
