My questions follow: Does power when assumed by someone  itself is the criteria of right or wrong? Does power of Ommayyeds and  the founder of the dynasty necessarily curtails the man who is brought  up in prophetic traditions, from childhood, even without giving him any  divinely inspired role? Is Islam  nothing but an extension of political  power and without it, it is simply collapsed, as a non-entity? Does  anyone who grasps power is now the ultimate source of inspiration as  ulul amr, ideally with consultation, practically without just like  communist leaders of bygone days of soviet union?<\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>I  am not sure what particular questions and answers you are referring to.  It helps if you could be more specific. Nevertheless the following is  what I believe in based on my understanding: <\/p>\n<div>1.  The basis of rulership and appointment of the ruler is consultation.  This is based on clear directive of the Qur&#8217;an (42:38) and is also what  most of the civilized societies have been practicing. If you know any  verse of the Qur&#8217;an that has abrogated this verse and has given a  diffident basis as the alternative please do let me know and I will look  at it.<\/div>\n<div>2. Accordingly, what makes a ruling power legitimate is for that power to be given on the basis of consultation.<\/div>\n<div>3.  According to verse 4:59, in principle, we are to follow those who are  in charge. This is again the most obvious and common sense rule of any  civilized society. Otherwise if every individual who disagrees with  those in authority starts disobeying them then only anarchy will be the  outcome. <\/div>\n<div>4.  The very verse 4:59 puts following those in charge after following God  and the Prophet (pbuh). What I understand from this is that if those in  charge go to a path that is clearly other than the path of God as  introduced by His prophet (pbuh) then they no longer are legitimate and  will lose their right to be obeyed. Now how to remove them from the  office and replace them is a different question that will have different  answers depending on different circumstanes. <\/div>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Farhad Shafti<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-01-19<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6355\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I  sometimes read your websites for understanding, yet I afraid I cannot  help to say that your associate answers on certain caliph issues after  Hadrat Ali (ra) is quite contrary to the history lessons I read in the  famous books.
