Nowadays we have all prevalent forms of government in Islamic Ummah Muslim-majority countries:
1. Autocracy /dictatorship (most common... Egypt, Bangladesh, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, ...)
2. Absolute monarchy (numerous... Saudi Arabia is the most prominent)
3. Democracy (only a handful... Tunisia is one of them)
4. Theocracy (Iran is **probably** the only example)
My questions:
1. Does Islam suggest any structure of government?
2. Among above four, What type of government is suggested by Islam?
3. Does Islam explicitly/implicitly support/reject democracy?
Note.1: *I am looking for a **Sunni** view in particular .*
Note.2: *Kindly, don't give quotations from Quran/Hadith **inline**. First, state a point and give an external link of Quran/Hadith.*
.
