Drawing on both historical precedents and contemporary interpretations, the research examines how Islamic principles interact with the concept of judicial independence. It investigates the theoretical foundations and practical implications of maintaining a judiciary that is impartial, fair, and accountable within the framework of Islamic law. By analyzing case studies and doctrinal sources, the study aims to elucidate the complexities and nuances of balancing religious precepts with modern legal standards in the context of governance. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities inherent in integrating Islamic principles with the principles of an independent judiciary in contemporary societies.
