Sovereignty refers to the independent legal authority of a population in a particular territory, based on the recognized right to self-determination.[1]
By sovereignty, in its largest sense is meant supreme, absolute, uncontrollable power, the absolute right to govern.[2] For example, God has sovereignty over all creation. "He Who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords" (1 Timothy 6:15). In Islamic teaching, Allah alone is sovereign ("alone without partner", meaning a denial of the divine nature of the trinity) and does not delegate power to Jesus or any civil government.
