Fatwa #22927 August 2000Pakistan
Has religion anything to do with power and politics?
Answer
Allah has promissed those who bring faith and do righteous actions and
deeds, 'Verily He will grant them Khilaafat (deputation) on earth and He
will strengthen for them the religion He chose for them and He will change
the condition of fear to a peaceful one.'
From the above, it is clear that power and politics is subordinate to
submission and obedience to Allah.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
