God’s Writ: A written set of commands from God to mankind
The Qur’an, God’s final revelation, contains within it God’s Writ: a written set of commands from God to mankind. It is the duty of each and every believer to follow the Writ of God exclusively. The importance of this imperative cannot be overstated; God assures success to those who follow His Writ in this life and the hereafter.
In this work, I have organized (and where necessary, explained) God’s various commands in His Writ as they relate to specific matters such as marriage, divorce, inheritance, commerce etc. I believe this work will be of benefit to a sincere believer who has made the decision to implement the Writ of God in his personal and communal life. This work is not an exhaustive compilation of all the commands present in God’s Writ; God willing that will be done later.
I wish to thank Brother Gerrans for allowing me to use his translation in this work.

“Is it other than God I should seek as judge when He it is that sent down to you the Writ set out and detailed?”
And those to whom We gave the Writ know that it is sent down from thy Lord with the truth; so be thou not of those who doubt.
And perfected is the word of thy Lord in truth and justice; there is none to change His words; and He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
(The Qur’an 6:114-115)
Introduction
All praise be to God for guiding me to the truth and granting me the resources for the commission of this work. Our Lord: take us not to task if we forget or err. Excuse us, forgive us and have mercy upon us; You are our Protector. Help us against the deniers.alif lām mīm
That is the Writ about which there is no doubt, a guidance to those of prudent fear:
Those who believe in the Unseen, and uphold the duty, and of what We have provided them they spend;
And those who believe in what was sent down to thee, and what was sent down before thee, and of the Hereafter
they are certain:
Those are upon guidance from their Lord; and it is they who are the successful.
(The Qur’an 2:1-5)
