Legal Services
Since man must live in a group or community of his own species, this entails entering into various relations and communications.
Where these relations and communications exist, there must exist alongside with them a law that organizes people's infinite desires and freedoms.
This law tries to bring people with opposing benefits to a compromise and to look into disputes that may arise among them.
Arab and Muslim scientists realized the social nature of man and his need of a law that regulates him very early. Abo-Hayyan al-Tawhidi (a philosopher) and al-Mawardy (a judge) referred to this issue.
Also, Ibn-Khaldun, the great scientist, explained this issue in his Introduction. Moreover, the first article of the Ottoman Justice Judgments Magazine referred to this issue:
Man, due to his civil nature, cannot live alone as other creatures do.
Man needs co-operation and sharing which is provided by living in a community.
The fact is that man seeks what suits him and revolts whoever opposes the fulfillment of his needs.
Therefore, to ensure the preservation of order and justice among people, laws backed by Sharia are essential.

Law is indispensable to communities just like communities are indispensable to man. No community, no matter what social, political or economical system it retains, can survive without a law that regulates the relationships among its members and the relationship between them and the community itself.
Moreover, the level of progress of any country is measured by the extent of submission it holds to the law. The more the state is established on the foundations of law by submitting both rulers and subordinates to law, the more this state is described as a lawful country.
