There were a number of Rulers—after the period of the righteous Caliphs—who also upheld Quranic justice and who, in certain respects, were paragons of virtue. The Ummayyad Caliph, Umar Ibn-Abdul Aziz was one such person. On the whole, these good Rulers subjected themselves to the Shariah and limited the powers of the State. In this regard, it is important to emphasise that contrary to the view expressed in certain circles, the Shariah for the most part of Muslim history, “functioned basically as a protective shield in defence of the rights and liberties of the citizen against arbitrary power.”27
