Islam > Hadiths > Shariah-approved Politics
53 explained prophetic hadiths on "Shariah-approved Politics": Arabic text, translation, explanation and lessons, with authenticity grade and references.
This category brings together 45 hadiths on shariah-approved politics, organized in 7 sub-themes: the way of electing the imam and its requirements, his duties (15 hadiths), his rights over his subjects (17 hadiths), rebelling against his authority, international relations, and consultation. The reported hadiths warn against coveting power: "do not ask for a position of authority, for if you were granted such authority upon your request, you would be left (to manage it) unaided" (No. 3004). One also finds the pledge of listening and obedience given to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in hardship as in ease.
