The Holy Quran 5:50 — Surah Al-Ma'idah

Arabic text

أَفَحُكْمَ ٱلْجَـٰهِلِيَّةِ يَبْغُونَ ۚ وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ حُكْمًا لِّقَوْمٍ يُوقِنُونَ

Translation

Is it the law of ignorance (the laws of others besides Allaah) that they seek? Who can be a better judge than Allaah for those who have conviction? (None can be a better judge than Allaah because He is Most Wise, All-Knowing and Most Merciful.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

That is, for those who have complete certainty in the sovereignty of Allah, His perfect mercy and His all-encompassing knowledge, no one’s command in the world can deserve any attention in the face of the command of Allah.
