Theory of Divine Right and its Role in the Industry of Tyranny and the Position of the Islamic Dawah to it

Open access
At a time when many countries of the world got rid of authoritarianism in the name of religion, and the rule of theocratic religious theories, some political systems in our Arab and Eastern world deliberately controlled and overpower their people in the name of the Divine right. This made many orientalists and Westerners accuse the rule in Islam of authoritarianism and tyranny according to theocratic theory, and that the rule in Dawah of Islam is a tyrannical, authoritarian rule. Accordingly, this paper aims to reveal the theory of the Divine right of the ruler and its role in creating tyranny. Statement of the position of the Islamic Dawah to that theory. And that Islamic rule is based on choice and consultation. The study adopted the descriptive analytical approach, which led us to several results, including: The actions of the rulers and their tyranny is due to their mistreatment and behavior in governance. The ruler, according to the concept of the Islamic Dawah, is a human being accountable for what he does, and he is not infallible. The ruler in Islam is not authorized by Allah and is not a shadow of Allah and has no successor. The ruler is chosen by the Ummah in accordance with the principles of the Islamic Dawah Law. It has the right to dismiss him when violating him. The theory of divine authority to the ruler does not conform with the Islamic Dawah way. Religious theories and governance in the name of God are used by tyrannical rulers to conquer and control their people. The Rightly Guided Caliphate did not know the rule by the theory of Divine right. Obedience to the Sultan is part of obedience to Allah, a Persian culture that has moved to the Arab and Islamic environment. The study came in a preamble, three sections and a conclusion containing the results and recommendations, accompanied by the research sources and references.
