Summary of Sunni concepts
Philosophy of sovereignty theory
Jurists knew sovereignty at the beginning
As a characteristic of power
That there is no other authority higher than the existing authority
Or equal to it
The concept of sovereignty in this sense was negative
That is, it does not give sovereignty specific meanings or descriptions
Rather, it is based on the deprivation of this characteristic
About anything other than the ruling authority
Then the jurists did not wait after that
To make sovereignty itself the supreme commanding authority of the state
It is not just a characteristic of power
They gave it specific contents and descriptions
They attributed it to the nation or the people
Contrary to my details
Thus, they took away sovereignty from the king or ruler
They made him merely an employee executing the will of the nation or the people
