The links on “sovereignty” draw a distinction between political rule and the confinement of prohibition to revelation. The concept also appears in the critique of turning sovereignty into a slogan of coercive power or into a takfiri dichotomy that divides the world into Islam and jahiliyya.
Direct answer
Sovereignty on this page is read from the standpoint of the difference between political rule and divine prohibition. The links do not present it as a power held by religious scholars or the state, but as restricting what is permitted and forbidden to revelation, with a critique of turning sovereignty into a coercive slogan or a takfiri dichotomy. It is therefore directly connected to the course of state and religion.
