ABSTRACT
Our kings being iniquitous and unjust men, their domination is a tyranny to which God has subjected us to punish us, after having withdrawn from the world the legitimate successor of His Prophet. e supreme rone of the universe belongs only to a Mujtahid, a man who possesses sanctity and science above ordinary men. It is true that since the Mujtahid is holy, and consequently a peaceful man, there must be a king who carries a sword for the exercise of justice; but he must only be like his minister, and dependent upon him.
