No one person (one-man-rule), a group (civil, military or religious) or one section of Muslims (a party) is allowed to have authority and control of power.
Power is equally distributed among the Muslims whole community of Muslims as a right and as a responsibility.
Administration of Islamic rule does not give the administrators any powers or control over Muslims. The administration body serves the community in their interests, security and affairs.
There is no mention in the Qur'an or Hadith (dictums of Muhammad) of the idea of rule over Muslims, nor is there any mention of the necessity for a ruler or governor that Muslims have to submit their will to him or to her.
The Islamic principle calls for equality and no person has the right to rule over another.
No one Muslim or a group of Muslims have the right to exercise authority or control, whether physically, psychologically, mentally or spiritually over any other Muslim or a group of Muslims or the entire Umma.
The Qur'anic text denies any authority or control over the Muslims, or non-Muslims, even to messengers of God.
The function of the messengers of God, according to the Qur'an, is but to remind man with reference to belief in God and the day of reckoning and the consequence of man's deeds.
Muhammad is commanded in the Qur'anic text:
Therefore, give admonition, for you are one to admonish, you are not one to have control over them.' 88: 21-22.
The Qur'an denies Muhammad all forms of authority, control and compelling:
And you are not one to compel them by force. So admonish with the Qur'an who fears My warning.' 50: 45
If control and compulsion are denied to the Messenger of God then it must be denied to men.
From this we can conclude that no man, whether Muslim or not, can have power, control or authority over another man, Muslims or not.
The Qur'an frees men from ruling over one another.
