Ummat barcha uchun juda muhimdir, hukmronlik tamoyillarini va ularning dalillarini, xuddi boshqa barcha farzlarni to‘liq o‘rganish uchun harakat qilganimizdek, aniq tushunishi. Biroq, Islomda hukmronlik tamoyillarini o‘rganishdan oldin bir necha qoidalarni belgilab olish kerak. Masalan, agar bitta tamoyil bo‘lmasa, tizim islomiy bo‘lmagan tizimga aylanadi. Shuning uchun uni Islomiy hukmronlik tizimi deb hisoblash uchun barcha tamoyillar mavjud bo‘lishi kerak. Masalan, agar hokimiyat Allohga (SWT) tegishli bo‘lmasa va rahbar xalqqa o‘z hukmronligini majburlasa, davlatni endi islomiy davlat deb hisoblab bo‘lmaydi. Qisqacha aytganda, davlatning islomiy davlatga aylanishi uchun aniq shartlar belgilanishi kerak, aks holda har qanday davlat o‘zini noqonuniy ravishda shunday deb da’vo qilishi mumkin, hozir Saudiya Arabistoni, Eron, Pokiston va boshqa davlatlarda bo‘lgani kabi.

It is of the utmost importance that all in the Ummah understand clearly the principles of ruling and its evidences in the same way in which we work to understand fully all other obligations (furood). However, a few guidelines need to be established before studying the principles of ruling in Islam. For instance, the absence of any single principle will make the system a non-Islamic system. Thus, all the principles have to exist in order for it to be considered an Islamic Ruling System, e.g. if the sovereignty does not belong to the Allah (swt) and the leader forces his own rule on the people, the State can no longer be considered an Islamic State. Simply put, there must be proper conditions laid down that qualify a state to become an Islamic State, otherwise any state could claim illegitimately to be so, as is currently the case with countries such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan etc.
