Rational code of behaviour (19)

Authorities
Regarding electing and appointing people to positions of authority, the Holy Quran says:
"Allah commands you to make over trusts (or positions of trust and authority) to those worthy of them."
(Holy Quran: 4:58)

Some other principles are as follows: 
"Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority from among you; then if you quarrel about anything (with your authorities) refer it to Allah and the Messenger"
(Holy Quran: 4:59)

Author writes that, we should settle the disagreement by means of the Holy Quran and the Holy Prophet's example.
