'''Sovereignty''' refers to the independent [[legal]] authority of a population in a particular territory, based on the recognized [[rights|right]] to [[self-determination]].<ref>Almond, Gabriel A.

By sovereignty, in its largest sense is meant supreme, absolute, uncontrollable power, the absolute right to [[Governance|govern]].<ref>Black's Law Dictionary, Sixth Edition, p. 1396.</ref> 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.
