Summary of the book "The Devices are Verified" - 01-
The system of government in Islam is the Caliphate system, in which a Caliph is appointed by allegiance to the Book of God and the Sunnah of His Messenger; to judge according to what God has revealed. God Almighty said: (So judge between them by what Allah has revealed and do not follow their desires contrary to what has come to you of the truth). The Companions agreed on appointing a Caliph, and their consensus was confirmed by their delaying the burial of the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, for two nights after his death, and their preoccupation with appointing a Caliph for him, even though burying the dead after his death is obligatory. This indicates that appointing a Caliph is more obligatory than burying the dead.
The system of government in Islam is not monarchical, as it does not inherit the rule, but rather the allegiance of the nation is the way to appoint the Caliph. Also, the monarchical system grants the king special privileges and makes him above the law, possessing but not ruling in some monarchical systems, and possessing and ruling, disposing of the country as he pleases as in other systems. As for the Caliphate system, the Caliph does not have any special privileges, and he is restricted in all his actions by the Sharia rulings.
The system of government in Islam is not imperial; because this system, even if it is followed by several regions, it gives the advantage to the center in rule, money, and economy. As for the system of Islam, it makes all individuals equal, even the People of the Book have the same rights as Muslims and the same obligations as Muslims. Also, the system of government in Islam does not make the regions colonies and exploitation sites as is the case in the imperial system, but considers all regions a part of the state, and all are equal in rights.
The system of government in Islam is not federal, but rather a system of unity, as the federal system makes each region independent, but they unite in the general rule, but the system of Islam is a system of unity, it considers the finances of all regions as one, so if the revenues of one of the states do not meet its expenses, it is spent on it according to its needs, not according to its revenues.
The system of government in Islam is not republican. The republican system was a reaction to the tyranny of the monarchical system, where sovereignty and authority were in the hands of the king. This system came and transferred sovereignty and authority to the people, in what was called democracy. So the people are the ones who legislate, improve, and disapprove, and the rule remained in the hands of the president of the republic and his ministers in the presidential republican system, and in the hands of the Council of Ministers in the parliamentary republican system. As for Islam, legislation is not for the people, but for God alone, and all the interests of the people are in one administrative apparatus, not through ministries that have separate powers and separate budgets, so that the surplus is not transferred from one budget to another except through lengthy procedures, which causes complications in solving the interests of the people due to the overlapping of several ministries in the same interest. Also, there is no council of ministers for ruling in the system of government in Islam, but rather the nation pledges allegiance to the Caliph on ruling, and he appoints assistants to him to bear the burdens of the Caliphate.
The system of government in Islam is not democratic - in the true sense of democracy - in terms of the fact that legislation is for the people, and the West knows that it will not be able to market democracy in this sense, so it tried to introduce it from the door that it is a mechanism for electing the ruler, and due to the oppression in the Islamic countries, it was easy for the disbeliever to market democracy in our countries, and he circumvented the basic part of it, which is that legislation is in the hands of the people, which no believer says or accepts.
As for choosing the ruler in Islam, it is a matter stipulated in the texts. The follower of how the Rightly Guided Caliphs were chosen sees that the allegiance of the people of authority and the representatives of the nation was given to one of them until he becomes a Caliph whose obedience is obligatory. The allegiance of the people to the Caliph is a fundamental condition until he becomes a Caliph. Also, the republican system approves freedoms, so that men and women do what they want, without regard to the permissible and the forbidden. They have religious freedom, from apostasy and changing religion without restriction, freedom of ownership, and freedom of opinion.
The devices of the Caliphate state are taken from the devices that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, established in Medina, which are: the Caliph, the assistants (ministers of authorization), the ministers of implementation, the governors, the commander of jihad (army), internal security, foreign affairs, industry, the judiciary, the interests of the people, the treasury, the media, the National Council (consultation and accountability).
