The shape of the Islamic ruling system is not monarchical. It neither approves of the monarchical shape of government nor does it resemble it. The ruling in the monarchical system of government is hereditary where sons inherit the authority from their fathers the same way they inherit their legacy. Whereas in the ruling system of Islam, there is no concept of hereditary ruling, rather the ruling is held by whomever the Ummah gives her pledge (of allegiance) to, willingly and selectively.

Ana mai da shi alamar al'umma, inda yake mallaka amma ba ya mulki, kamar sarakunan Turai; ko kuma yana mallaka kuma yana mulki, har ma ya zama tushen dokoki, don haka yana tafiyar da ƙasa da mutane yadda ya ga dama, kamar sarakunan Saudiyya, Morocco da Jordan.

The monarchical system allows the monarch special privileges and rights exclusive to him, and places him above the law and makes him personally answerable to no one. He is made the symbol of the nation, where he owns but does not rule like the monarchs of Europe; or he owns and rules, and even becomes the source of the rules, thus running the country and the people as he wishes, like the kings of Saudi Arabia, Morocco and Jordan.

Duk da haka tsarin Musulunci ba ya ba wa Khalifa ko Imam wata ni'ima ta musamman ko wani haƙƙi na musamman, don haka ana mu'amala da shi daidai da kowane ɗan ƙasa na cikin Ummah. Ba shi ne alamar Ummah wanda ya mallake ta ba, kuma ba shi ne alamar da take mulki tana tafiyar da al'amuran mutane da ƙasa yadda ya ga dama ba. Shi wakili ne na Ummah wajen mulki da iko, inda Ummah ke zaɓar sa, tana ba shi bai'a da yardar rai domin ya aiwatar a kanta shari'ar Allah (SWT). Ana takaita shi a cikin dukkan ayyukansa, hukunce-hukuncensa, da kula da al'amuran Ummah da maslahohinta ta hanyar dokokin Allah.

The Islamic system however does not assign to the Khaleefah or the Imam any special privileges or rights, so he is treated the same as any citizen of the Ummah. He is not the symbol of the Ummah where he` owns and does not rule nor is he a symbol who rules and runs the affairs of the people and country as he pleases. He is a representative of the Ummah in ruling and power, where the Ummah selects him and gives him the pledge of allegiance willingly so as to implement on her the shar’a of Allah (swt). He is restricted in all his actions, judgements and looking after the affairs of the Ummah and her interests by the divine rules.

Babu kuma sarautar yarima mai jiran gado a tsarin mulkin Musulunci. Musulunci ya ƙi mulkin gado, kuma ya haramta a karɓi mulki ta hanyar gado. Halifa ba ya karɓar mulki sai al'umma ta ba shi mubaya'a da yardar ranta.

There is also no crown princeship in the ruling system of Islam. Islam abhors hereditary ruling and forbids that the ruling be taken by legacy. The Khaleefah only assumes the ruling when the Ummah willingly gives him the pledge of allegiance.
