第20条

Article 20.

Muslims are entitled to establish political parties to question the rulers and to access the positions of ruling through the nation (Ummah) on condition that the parties are based on the creed of Islam and their adopted rules are AHkam Shari’ah; the establishment of such a party does not require a license by the State. Any party not established on the basis of Islam is prohibited.

第22条

Article 22.

该治理体系建立在四项原则之上。它们是：

The ruling system is founded upon four principles. They are:

1. 主权属于伊斯兰教法（沙里亚），而非属于人民； 2. 权威属于人民，即乌玛（穆斯林共同体）； 3. 任命一位哈里发就任职务，是所有穆斯林的义务； 4. 只有哈里发有权采纳沙里亚的律例（Ahkam Shari'ah），因此由他颁布宪法和各项法规。

1. Sovereignty belongs to the divine law (shar’a) and not to the people; 2. Authority belongs to the people, i.e., the Ummah; 3. The appointment of one Khaleefah into office is an obligation upon all Muslims; 4. Only the Khaleefah has the right to adopt the AHkam Shari’ah and thus he passes the constitution and the various canons.
