Human being is prone to error. A man comes to face different situations and issues in his life that he never faced earlier, so is unaware of their consequences. That's why tackling the new situations and dealing with issues, that were earlier never faced is a big challenge in everyone's life which throws one into a dilemma and confusion. In such circumstances Islamic religious law (Sharia) guides us towards utilizing our intellect and wisdom to solve the problem and delegating our job to Allah, catching hold of the strongest ring of his trust and reliance, this is what you name "Agency or Delegation" (Wakalah).

There is consensus among Muslim Ummah and Imams that, for an Islamic state, selection of the head of state is the most important and compulsory. Selection of leader would be such as who is pious, virtuous, scholar of Shariah, honest, wise and courageous so that the management/ administration of the state may be carried out justifiably. In Ahle Sunnah, it is obligatory for the noble creature of Almighty Allah to select leader (Imam) for themselves, otherwise all of them would be considered as sinners. The best way for the selection of Imam is “Khulafa-eRashideen”, in the light of which Muslim Ummah can choose Imam. The first and uttermost obligation of the elected Imam is to abide by religion. Beside other duties of Imam, include protection of the state, establishment of Shariah limits, propagation of Islamic mission and leading the Islamic state. In this research paper we are discussing Al-Mawardi’s concepts for the selection process, attribute and duties of the head of Islamic state.
