hukmlari

Hukmlari is a Turkish-language term that often appears in transliterations without diacritics as hukmlari. In Turkish, the root hüküm means a ruling, decree, or verdict, and the standard plural is hükümler. The form hukmlari is typically found in older texts or non-diacritic transliterations and may be used to indicate the plural or possessive sense of rulings in a broader sense.

In usage, huküm refers to decisions issued by a competent authority, such as a court, an administrative body, or a religious authority. For example, a court’s decision is commonly described as a hüküm (singular) and the collection of such decisions as hükümlerin (the rulings). The concept also appears in Islamic jurisprudence as a juridical ruling or command, often translated as ahkam in Arabic-language contexts.

Etymologically, huküm derives from the Arabic hukm, meaning judgment or decision, which entered Turkish legal and theological vocabulary through historical scholarship and legal practice. The modern Turkish standard spelling for the plural, hükümler, reflects contemporary orthography; hukmlari may be encountered in texts that omit diacritics or in certain transliteration schemes.

See also: hüküm, hükümler, mahkeme hükmü, edict or decree, judgment, ruling, ahkam. In English-language summaries, huküm/hükümler are typically translated as “rulings,” “judgments,” or “decrees.”
