Opening speech with the phrase: In the name of the people

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible to begin speech by saying, as some do, "In the name of the people," or does the Shaykh open with this?

Answer:
The people were considered to be Allah. It is said "In the name of the people," but it is only said "In the name of Allah"; it is not said "In the name of the people." Yes, this is the talk of the liberals and the democrats who say that rule belongs to the people, so much so that Allah has no rule; rule belongs to the people. Yes, Allah has no rule. So what about the one in authority? What about the king? He has no rule. Rule belongs to the people, they say.
