emperor humayun
Answers
Answer:
The Mughal Emperor was the head of the administration. According to the Quranic Theory, the Mughal Emperor was the Ruler of the Muslims only (Amir-ul-Munnin, or Commander of the true believers). He was nominally responsible to the Muslim Public or Jamait of this conduct as a king.
There was no check on his powers, but in actual practice his autocracy was tempered by the fear of rebellion. Customary Law of the country also put a check. The Ulema had the power to depose a king, but their Fatwas were a mere scrap of paper so long as the Mughal Emperor had a strong army at his disposal.
Both Babur and Humayun acted upon the Islamic Theory of kingship, but Akbar rejected the same. Instead of being the Commander of the true-believers only, he decided to become the king of all his subjects. His view was that in spite of thousand virtues, a king cannot be fit for this lofty office, if he does not inaugurate universal peace, and if he does not regard ail classes of men and all sets of religions with a single eye for favour,” (Akbarnama). Akbar also believed that the king was superior to all the human beings and was the shadow and vicar of God.
