Why doesn't Islam give any right to societies to establish their own principles?

The position of Islamic law in terms of human welfare, reformation of society as opposed to destruction and re-building as well as the obligations that exist in Islam. It should also be noted that all of the principles which have been commanded by Allah or things which have been prohibited by Allah have all been commanded and prohibited for man's benefit. There is nothing in Islam that we are commanded to do which is not beneficial for us and there is nothing in Islam which we are prohibited from doing which is not harmful for us.[1] The laws have human society's benefit in mind. Allah knows what is good for us and what is not good for us. If it was left up to us what is good for us and what is not good for us then we would set up laws which would favor some people over others this is something we see in the case of human laws every new government that comes it changes the laws made by the previous government and puts in new laws because those who come in may come from one segment of society or another segment and they are mostly concerned about things that are beneficial to their segment so there is this constant struggle taking place with the replacement of laws, with new laws and so on, whereas the divinely revealed laws of Allah, these laws are untouchable we do not change them. These laws are beyond human legislation. It is only for theirĀ  application and as IĀ  said, they take into account human needs, some of the laws, none of the laws go against human reason and human intellect and they don't go against it and they are not illogical, there may be harm in them in the things that are prohibited which we may not grasp some things are obvious, some-things have became obvious some things will become obvious but the fundamental principle is that they are for human benefit this is a fundamental principle behind the legislation of laws in Islam.
