The links on «sovereignty» distinguish between political rule and the restriction of prohibition to revelation. The concept also appears in critiques of transforming sovereignty into a slogan of coercive authority or into a takfiri binary that divides the world into Islam and Jahiliyya.
Direct answer
On this page, sovereignty is read through the distinction between political rule and divine prohibition. The links do not present it as an authority possessed by religious scholars or the state, but as the restriction of permissibility and prohibition to revelation, alongside a critique of turning sovereignty into a coercive slogan or a takfiri binary. It is therefore directly connected to the trajectory of state and religion.
