Sheikh Fathi Yakan, former head of the Muslim Brotherhood in Lebanon, said:
"Sovereignty in the Islamic system does not belong to the people - as in democratic systems - nor does it belong to a party - as in communist systems - nor to any individual - as in dictatorial systems.
Instead, it belongs entirely to Allah, the Creator and Sovereign of the universe.
This is what the Islamic constitution - the Koran - affirms in many of it.
Verses:
"Legislation is only for Allah. " (Yusuf: 40 / Al-Anam: 57).
"And in anything you dispute about, His ruling [must be referred] to Allah. " (Al-Shura: 10).
"Indeed, We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], the Book in truth so that you may judge between the people according to what Allah has shown you. " (Al-Nisa: 105).
Islam is therefore a way of life unique in its characteristics. Its rulings, systems and laws were not created by the whims of a ruler or the interests of a party, but were established by heavenly justice.
Therefore there is no discrimination.
Without preference, without selfishness, without arbitrary coercion, without factions and without oppression - but everyone stands equal before the law of Allah."
