Quran 12:55 – Prophets As Political Leaders And Their Way Of Earning
If a person finds in him a quality to serve people one way or other there is no harm if he presents himself for a public office, even if he is a prophet and his actual designation of being a prophet is not affected. But it is not recommended for prophets or ulema as a class or category to go for public offices or politics. This is not their job. But if an Alim finds in himself the quality of leadership he can go ahead the way others do.
