Q
How does Islam view the concept of ultimate sovereignty and authority?
A
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “The most awful (meanest) name in Allah’s sight.” Sufyan said more than once,
“The most awful (meanest) name in Allah’s sight is (that of) a man calling himself king of kings.”
Sufyan said, “Somebody else (i.e. other than Abu Az-Zinad, a sub-narrator) says: What is meant by
‘The king of kings’ is ‘Shahan Shah.,”
