Every individual is a vicegerent of God on Earth. Establishing divine governance begins with self-governance. Humans are entrusted with physical and intellectual capabilities as a divine deposit. The ‘self’—whether termed ego, soul, or *ruh*—is the actual vicegerent on this body, responsible for aligning one's existence, emotions, desires, and aspirations with God’s commands. This personal implementation of divine principles is the foundational requirement of vicegerency for every person.

The establishment of the Caliphate signifies the sovereignty of God and the end of human rule, which is considered the greatest form of idolatry. Until the Caliphate is re-established, shirk (associating partners with God) persists through human governance. True worship will only be possible when divine authority replaces earthly dominion, eliminating the foundation of shirk and establishing pure devotion to God.
