The Hukm (ruling) by what Allah revealed

The following is a translation from an Arabic leaflet.   وَأَنِ احْكُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ أَهْوَاءَهُمْ وَاحْذَرْهُمْ أَنْ يَفْتِنُوكَ عَنْ بَعْضِ مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْكَ And judge between them by that which Allah h as revealed and do not follow their desires and beware that they seduce you from some of what Allah has revealed to you (Al-Maa’idah 49).
