All divine religions recognize Allah’s supremacy. However, people have refuted His supremacy and have not acknowledged it for the majority of them, except for few such as the people of Moses (AS) in the era of Talut[1] or the Muslims in the era of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). However, no sooner did the Prophet (PBUH) pass away than they went back to refuting the supremacy of Allah and recognizing people’s supremacy through the Shura[2], the elections and the Saqifat Bani Saeda gathering that alienated Regent Ali Ibn Abi Taleb (AS).

Even though nowadays everybody advocates the supremacy of people and elections, whether they were scholars or the common public, the great majority of them admits that the successor of Allah on earth is the righteous ruler.
