La hukm illa li-llah: Difference between revisions

'''Lā ḥukm illā li-llāh''' ((Arabic: {{ia|لا حُكمَ إلّا لِلّٰه}}, lit: ruling is for none but Allah) was a slogan chanted by the [[Kharijites]] (Khawarij) in protest against [[Arbitration (Battle of Siffin)|arbitration]] during the [[Battle of Siffin]]. Through this slogan, they primarily expressed their opposition to human arbitrations and rulings, rejecting the arbitration of [[Abu Musa al-Ash'ari]] and [['Amr 'As]], who were respectively appointed by [[Imam Ali (a)]] and [[Mu'awiya]] as arbiters. They asserted that ruling or arbitration belongs solely to Allah, and that no one else has the right to rule.
