Abstract
The current study investigates the authority or governance of mind over legislative text of sharia law across different Islamic doctrines. Intellect or mind is assigned a high status in the Holy Quran and Noble Sunnah. However, in practice, Islamic sects have different views in observing and activating that status as indicated by the analysis and results of the current study. It is also indicated that the judging of mind is basically consistent with the rulings of sharia. This view is highlighted in mainly and for the most part by the Imamist doctrine who consider mind as the fourth source of law-making following the Holy Quran, the Noble Sunna, and Consensus.
