Search grounding reveals that the Quranic argument in Surah At-Tin, 'Is not Allah the Most Just of Judges?' (95:8), is not just a rhetorical question but a logical proof.

A cross-verse synthesis of 'Hukm' reveals a profound unity: Allah's 'Hukm' (ruling) in this life through the Sharia is the 'training ground' for the final 'Hukm' (Judgment) in the Hereafter. Living by His worldly rulings prepares the soul for His final verdict, making the Sharia not just law, but a path of preparation for the ultimate accountability.
