Description
Authority in Islam is a responsibility and a burden placed by Allah upon whoever He wishes from His slaves. From the moment Allah created Adam and appointed him as a Khalifah (vicegerent) in the earth, his descendants were made trustees in the earth. He sent prophets and messengers with reminders and divine laws to judge and govern the people by.
Over time, as in previous eras, people have become distant from God, His laws and guidance and the world today has fallen to secular hands and secular laws.
Islam is unique in that it is a complete way of life, including guidance on not only personal affairs, character and spiritual rituals but also a complete tried and tested political system for the management of affairs on a state level.
With the end of the Caliphate system in 1924 CE, this divine political framework had been confined to textbooks, history books and the campaigns of numerous movements and thinkers that called for its return in the 20th Century.
