Abstract

Authority: The ability of a specific individual or organisation to direct, influence or impose patterns of behaviour or change the course of events on other individuals or subjects, which is contrary to the principle of cooperation. Authority as a term encompasses most cases of leadership and oppression: [singular] source of oppression, oppresses, so he is oppressive and oppressive, and the object is oppressed, and the oppressive: one of the beautiful names of God, meaning: the one who breaks the backs of his enemies with death and humiliation. The title and substance of this research were inspired by the stories of the Holy Qur'an and its interpretations. This research traces some types of oppression based on events recorded in the Holy Qur'an and concludes that issues of oppression have swept and continue to sweep across all human beings, regardless of their diverse identities and races, and that it is a phenomenon that encompasses all classes.
