Divine law is the hope of ultimate revival of values

Governments were instituted to protect those Allaah given laws; rights but our government is transforming from a limited government to a limitless government; they legislate without considering the divine revelations. The Constitution that has been understood to protect religious beliefs from government intrusion is now a shield for desperate elites to perpetrate extreme and unjustifiable destruction on earth. Many pitiless, immoral, and extremely clever elites still control and confuse the confused population to be successful using dishonest system of propaganda. Money, status and power are ruling and vices dominating. Personality has replaced character for celebrities; rudeness, arrogance, and egotism are now basic features of those who are uncultured to religious people but celebrities to spoilt minded people. Despite achievements on law amendment, vices are disgracefully increasing. Prostitutes are protesting; more ritualists called spiritual leaders; thieves, kidnappers and armed robbers are suing the police; accused leaders are asking court to stop their trials thus encouraging vices all in the name of freedom. And freedom cannot be established without morality, nor morality without faith. Where is morality? Where is faith? Nigerians have built on shifting sands by choosing man-made laws of another land while divine laws are the stable foundations, and most Nigerians don’t want to be ruled by divine laws.

We are living in a universe, not of chance or caprice but of law and order. There are basically two types of law; divine law and manmade law. In law, we also have what is called natural laws which other laws build upon. Natural law refers to moral principles common to most or all human creatures. It posits that there is a Creator, that we all have to answer to. According to legal dictionary natural law is the philosophy that certain rights, moral values, and responsibilities are inherent in human nature, and that those rights can be understood through simple reasoning. It is the belief that certain laws of morality are inherent by human nature, reason, or religious belief, and that they are ethically binding on humanity. Allaah says: By the Soul, and the proportion and order given to it; And its enlightenment as to its wrong and its right; Q91:7 and 8. Law of morality is just like an inbuilt system of every man, that is why the idea of what is “right” and “wrong” are universal concepts, as mankind finds certain things to be useful and good, and other things to be bad, destructive, or evil. This means that, what constitutes “right” and “wrong,” is the same for everyone, and this concept is expressed as “morality.” As an example of natural law, it is universally accepted that to kill someone is wrong, and that to punish someone for killing that person is right, and even necessary etc.

Man-made Law

Man-made law is the law that is made by humans, usually considered in opposition to concepts like natural law or divine law (Mohnhaupt 2008, p. 75–76). It is a derivative of ethics of a given society. The word ethics is derived from the Greek noun ethos meaning “the customs and conventions of a given community”. Ethics is a moral law of human conduct or behavior considered from the point of view of good or evil. It is an action, which is morally good or morally evil.

Ethics is therefore often used as a synonym of morality as when we speak of religious ethics, social ethics, personal ethics, professional ethics. Central to ethics are the norms which serve as moral standards we use to evaluate human conduct, or human behavior, in terms of right or wrong morally good or morally bad. These norms or customs or standards reflecting moral principles and values are often expressed in the form of laws rules and regulations. There are three sources of morality: religion, society and the human person, i.e. religious ethics, social ethics and personal ethics. So, what constitute manmade laws of every society is religious ethics, social ethics and personal ethics or values and norms of the society.

Religious ethics is a supernatural source of moral standards for the believers. Religious ethics finds expression in the laws of the Creator, as found in sacred writings such as the Quran, Injeel, Taurah e.t.c. and in religious traditions. For a religious person, stealing or killing is wrong because the Creator forbids it, caring for one’s neighbor is morally right, because the Creator commands it. Social sources of morality, these include family and parental authority the clan and the authority of the elders but also the school, neighborhood, the peer group.

May Allaah grant us understanding and government that will rule by words Allaah

There is no divine laws anywhere. All laws were made by humans. Religious laws are the most backward of all laws and should be discarded.

Every laws are man-made, there's no law from any imaginary master in the sky.

If there's a God that gave divine laws then that God is imperfect and not different from every other natural entity.

Exactly! No being from anywhere is giving us any "divine command" or "divine wisdom", we figure these things out ourselves.

I've created a thread on this before.

Even if for assumption sake, God gave divine laws, it does not depict a perfect creation and perfect creator.

True. A perfect God creating a perfect universe will not need to dictate any laws.
