YUSUFALI Say "Shall I seek for judge other than Allah? - when He it is Who hath sent unto you the Book, explained in detail." They know full well, to whom We have given the Book, that it hath been sent down from thy Lord in truth. Never be then of those who doubt
I found this verse on the first page of the free-minds website.
i've read it in the Quran before, if I read it again I will post it.
Correct
concede that it is false.
Should be reworded to
Whenever an exclusive parameter is applied to matters pertaining to guidance or judgement (such as "only"), it is applied to the phrase "what Allah has revealed" or "God" alone.
ex. "use God alone for guidance"
The only thing that I'm interested is in #4.

Behold, We have bestowed upon thee from on high this divine writ, setting forth the truth, so that thou mayest judge between people in accordance with what God has taught thee. You claim Quran never orders to judge by Quran ? it does. Thus, a defined purpose of the revelation from on high (i.e., Quran) is to serve as guide to judge between people. Please note that in the earlier post (date Apr 17, 2004), I made this distinction the Prophet judged BETWEEN PEOPLE based on Quran.
I wholeheartedly agree with every single word in the above quote.
but my claim is
Claim #1. Nowhere in the Quran is it commanded for us to judge, decide, or use as guidance the Quran or the Holy Books alone. Instead the wording used has always been to judge or decide only by what ??Allah has revealed.? Sometimes the wording has been to use ?God alone? for guidance and decision making
I would like you to pay special attention to the underlined word "only". I am looking for an ayah, that specifically tells the beleivers to judge by the Quran or divine writ alone, excluding anything else. (This is your central tenet).
I know you believe 541-48 does so but I would like for you to provide other ayahs that disprove this claim.
