Political theories of power through the prism of Islamic doctrine. Rule by a group of elected persons – Aristocracy

Questions about the "ideal society" have been asked by scientists and philosophers since Ancient Greece, and by scientists in the Muslim world. In Plato's doctrine, which he called the rule of the worthy - aristocracy, he believed that intellectuals are best prepared to perform state management tasks (aristoc and kratos.

Plato divided society into classes. 1. Rulers - managers, 2. warriors to protect power, 3. all other citizens.

In Islam, the elected ruler is only a temporary representative of the community (ummah), his hired workers who carry out the governance of the people in the will of the people, in the name of Allah and for the sake of the pleasure of Allah. That is, the elected rulers thirst and seek the pleasure of Allah in one of the types of service to the Almighty, in addition to prayer and fasting - in the fair management of the political affairs of the ummah (people, state).
