Ruling and authority in Islam mean running the affairs of the people by applying the Shari’ah rules. This is not the same as doing this by force, for force within the State is not designed to look after people, or to manage their affairs. Force is not the authority, although its existence, formation, administration and preparation do not come about without authority. Force is a physical entity that manifests itself in the shape of the armed forces-including the police force-with which the authority executes the rules, defeats the criminals and the rebels, oppresses the outlaws, curbs the aggressors and uses it as a tool to protect the authority and the concepts and thoughts on which it is founded and to convey them to the world.

Wannan a fili yake yana nuna cewa iko ba daya yake da karfi ba, duk da cewa iko ba zai iya ci gaba da wanzuwa ba tare da karfi ba. Haka kuma yana nuna cewa karfi ya bambanta da iko, duk da cewa karfi ba zai iya wanzuwa ba tare da iko ba.

This clearly demonstrates that the authority is not the same as force, although the authority could not survive without it. It also demonstrates that the force is other than the authority, although it cannot exist without it.

Saboda haka ba ya halatta ga hukuma ta zama karfi, domin idan hukuma ta koma karfi, tafiyar da al'amuran mutane za ta lalace sosai. Wannan kuwa saboda ra'ayoyinta da ka'idojinta za su zama ra'ayoyi da ka'idojin tilastawa, zalunci da mamaye, ba ra'ayoyi da ka'idojin kula da al'amuran jama'a ba. Mulki zai koma mulkin zalunci wanda ba ya sanin komai sai tsoro, mamaye, zalunci, tilastawa da zubar da jini.

It is therefore unlawful for the authority to become a force, for if authority turned into force, its management of people’s affairs would be badly affected. This is because its concepts and criteria would become the concepts and criteria of coercion, oppression and dominance, and not the concepts and criteria of looking after the people’s affairs. Ruling would then turn into an oppressive rule that knows nothing but terror, dominance, oppression, coercion and blood shedding.

Haka kuma ƙarfi bai kamata ya zama iko ba, domin hakan zai sa a mulki mutane da ra'ayin ƙarfi, kuma a tafiyar da al'amuran mutane da ƙa'idojin mulkin soja da ma'aunan danniya da tilastawa. A bangarorin biyu, hakan zai kawo halaka da hasara, ya kuma jawo tsoro, firgici da ban tsoro. Zai kai Al'umma zuwa rami, yana kuma jawo mata babbar cutarwa.

Similarly force should not turn into authority, because it would rule people by the concept of force, and it would run people’s affairs by the concepts of military rule and the criteria of suppression and coercion. In both cases, this would bring disaster and ruin and cause fear, terror and horror. It would lead the Ummah to the abyss, causing it great harm.

Mulkin soja a ƙasashen Larabawa da na Musulunci yana ba da misali bayyananne game da haka.

The military rule in the Arab and Islamic countries offer a clear example of this.
