Are you here to apply your law or God's law?
Society cannot exist without laws and rules regulating relationships among its members. States must have rule and laws exemplified in their constitutions in order to define relations among their citizens to establish order and meaning for their people.
But when man applies human laws, worked out and promulgated by the state and ratified, in very rare examples, by the people. This accordance and ratification is most of the time artificial, and a formality to allow the one-man-ruler establish legitimacy to his or her rule.
Constitutions and laws, whether civil or criminal, economic rules, social one and political rules are but designed and promulgated to serve the end of the state, exemplified by some class, one part or one absolute despot ruling over the whole people.
Most of the time the ruler is above the law, unless his is found out, in the Watergate of Nixon, for example, or the cheating thief example of Bin Ali recently. Dictators are always above the law for they make their own laws.
But human laws are at best there to serve the ends of one ruler, or one party, or one class or one clique or rulers. It is at best serving the interests of humans. These human interests can be opposite to God's design of the world. God has provided humans with His own law. Humans are called upon to apply the law of god representing His own will. It is congruent with the human nature in the ultimate sense of the term. It seeks the ultimate good of man in this life and in the hereafter.
God's law represents absolute wisdom, and denotes absolute justice, for who else can be more wise and more just than God. The law of God is prescribed in His scriptures represented in the divine messages sent to mankind throughout the ages.
Man is lead by the human law to satisfy his interests in this worldly life at the foremost and neglects the hereafter. It represents the jungle law where we live in. While God's law is meant for the good of man in this world and to attain the felicity in the hereafter.
A man attains the ultimate purpose of his existence through God's law while he is lead to the path of the devil when he applies by human law, for it is limited to this world and to human vision. Human law is at best restricted to the benefits of this world, the law is always subject to change and modification, by God's law is constant, permanent and is not subject to change.
It is congruent with the will of the Maker of man and not with the whimsies of humans. It is universal and comprehensive compared with the law of man which is local, transitory and incomprehensive. Who is more knowledgeable of human interest and human nature, and the ultimate purpose of mankind, is it man or God?
Is it man's law that earns you paradise and attain your ultimate good, or is it God's divine law that grant you all that?
