The system of government is at the heart of the Islamic state and the activation of control over the rulers

Abstract

The system of government in the Islamic state is a shura system, as Islam has taken special care with the principle of shura, and assumed that any correct rule cannot be achieved in the absence of this principle, and the Almighty commanded His Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, to consult the Muslims, and he said: (And consult them in the matter, so if you are determined So put your trust in God  and He made consultation a necessary attribute for the believers who believe and respond to God, so He said (And those who responded to their Lord and established prayer, and their affairs are consultation among themselves, and they spend out of what We have provided for them) 

Islam preceded all other systems and sects in establishing this rule. It is not surprising that Muslims are increasingly admiring the principle of Shura in Islam and approving it for that, especially since Islam’s declaration of it did not come as a result of people’s demands or fame for their development and the rise of political and social awareness At that time, societies at that time were far from thinking about the principle of shura or demanding it, and if we take a look at the contemporary countries of the emergence of Islam, we will find that people considered their rulers as a tool of God or fairness to his gods - or at least they viewed their actions as sacred. It is not permissible to criticize it or to deviate from it. Thus, the people did not have the right to participate in opinion or criticism in ruling themselves. It is the prerogative of the Shura Council in the Islamic state to carry out preventive control, so the ruler cannot issue legislation that contradicts Islamic law, because of his commitment to the principle of consultation, which means preventing such behavior from occurring. Where Shura is considered one of the basic rules on which the Islamic system is built, and it is one of the principles of Sharia in the basis of good governance. It is the way to clarify the facts and know the mature opinions. This basic rule - Shura - in the Islamic state is considered the greatest political reform for human beings decided by the Holy Quran in an era when all nations were burdened by tyrannical governments that enslaved them in their religious and worldly matters.
