Islomda hukmronlik va hokimiyat odamlarning ishlarini Shariat qoidalarini qo‘llash orqali boshqarishni anglatadi. Bu kuch ishlatish orqali amalga oshiriladigan narsa bilan bir xil emas, chunki davlat ichidagi kuch odamlarga g‘amxo‘rlik qilish yoki ularning ishlarini boshqarish uchun mo‘ljallanmagan. Kuch hokimiyat emas, garchi uning mavjudligi, shakllanishi, boshqarilishi va tayyorlanishi hokimiyatsiz yuzaga kelmasa-da. Kuch — qurolli kuchlar, shu jumladan politsiya shaklida namoyon bo‘ladigan moddiy vositadir; hokimiyat ushbu kuch orqali qoidalarni ijro etadi, jinoyatchilar va isyonkorlarni yengadi, qonunbuzarlarni bo‘ysundiradi, tajovuzkorlarni cheklaydi va uni hokimiyatni, shuningdek unga asos bo‘lgan g‘oya va tushunchalarni himoya qilish hamda ularni dunyoga yetkazish vositasi sifatida ishlatadi.

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.

Bu shuni aniq ko'rsatadiki, hokimiyat zo'ravonlikning o'zi emas, garchi hokimiyat zo'ravonliksiz yashay olmasa ham. Shuningdek, bu zo'ravonlik hokimiyatdan boshqa narsa ekanini ko'rsatadi, garchi u hokimiyatsiz mavjud bo'la olmasa ham.

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.

Shuning uchun hokimiyatning zo'ravonlikka aylanishi harom, chunki agar hokimiyat zo'ravonlikka aylansa, uning xalq ishlarini boshqarishi jiddiy zarar ko'radi. Buning sababi shundaki, uning tushunchalari va mezonlari majburlash, zulm va hukmronlik tushunchalari va mezonlariga aylanib qoladi, xalq ishlarini ko'rish tushunchalari va mezonlariga emas. Shunda hukmronlik faqat dahshat, hukmronlik, zulm, majburlash va qon to'kishni biladigan zolim boshqaruvga aylanadi.

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.

Xuddi shunday, kuch hokimiyatga aylanmasligi kerak, chunki u odamlarni kuch tushunchasi bilan boshqargan bo‘lar, ularning ishlarini harbiy hukmronlik tushunchalari hamda zulm va majburlash mezonlari bilan yuritgan bo‘lar. Ikkala holatda ham bu halokat va vayronagarchilikka olib kelib, qo‘rquv, dahshat va vahima keltirib chiqargan bo‘lar. U ummatni tubsiz jarlikka yetaklab, unga katta zarar yetkazgan bo‘lar.

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.

Arab va islomiy mamlakatlardagi harbiy hukmronlik buning aniq misolini ko'rsatadi.

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