The learned jurist, Aḥmad bin Muḥammad bin ‘Abd abb, puts it very well when he says: “The sultan controls affairs, maintains rights, enforces the criminal code; he is the Pole Star round whom revolve the affairs of the world and the Faith; he is the protection of God in his realm; his shadow extends its canopy over His servants, for he forbids the forbidden, helps the oppressed, uproots the oppressor and gives security to the timid.”²
