² Compare Holy Qur’an 20 : 30 and the translator’s note on pp. 23-24. The Qur’an wanted to set up a ‘Kingdom of God’ in which the Caliph ‘judges among or rules the creatures of Allah by His Command’. In contrast to this the Sultanat is a purely secular institution signifying the dominion of man over man and not a theocracy.
