- EnglishThe judiciary is of vital importance in the context of safeguarding the rights of the people in accordance with the line followed by the Islamic movement, in order to prevent deviations within the Islamic nation. Provision has therefore been made for the creation of a judicial system based on Islamic justice and operated by just judges with meticulous knowledge of the Islamic laws. This system, because of its essentially sensitive nature and the need for full ideological conformity, must be free from every kind of unhealthy relation and connection (this is in accordance with the Qur'anic verse "When you judge among the people, judge with justice" [4:58]). (The Judiciary in the Constitution, Preamble)
