1. If monarchy/
kingship is wrong, then why did Allaah تعالى appoint Taaloot as a king?
{And their Prophet said to them, "Indeed Allaah has appointed Taaloot as a king over you."} [Surah al-Baqarah (2): 247]
2. If kingship is wrong then why were Prophets Dawood and Sulaimaan عليهم السلام ruling as kings?
3. If the kingship is wrong in itself, then why did the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم not warn against it when he said:
"The Caliphate of Prophecy will last thirty years; then Allah will give the Kingdom or His Kingdom to anyone He wills." [Sunan Abu Dawood (4646, 4647) and Sunan al-Tirmidhee (2226) and graded as "Hasan Saheeh" by Shaikh al-Albaanee]
This was a perfect opportunity for the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم to warn against monarchy, but he didn't.
If a ruler/king has done something wrong, then this is a completely different subject.
