Question
The question text was not published separately; the title stands in for it.
Has religion anything to do with power and politics?
Answer
Allah has promissed those who bring faith and do righteous actions and deeds, 'Verily He will grant them Khilaafat (deputation) on earth and He will strengthen for them the religion He chose for them and He will change the condition of fear to a peaceful one.'
From the above, it is clear that power and politics is subordinate to submission and obedience to Allah.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
