In the section of Raja Ali Haji detailing the characteristics of a ruling ruler, which reigns with "whip" (iron hand), has a rough temperament and has no shame. In addition, the ugly ruler does not pay attention to the welfare and tranquility of his people, especially for the common people and the poor. The image of the ugly ruler is like indulging his lust, pursuing a less than decent world life. Furthermore, the sign of the ruler is not good is to ignore the construction of facilities and infrastructure of community life, religious life abandoned and customs and culture is not maintained and society is far from God.The image of the ruler is bad and is reflected in his attitude towards upholding the main principles of power. Principles of power referred to, as there is a small treatise Raja Ali Haji, Muqaddimah fī al-Intiẓām, consists of the principles of justice, the principle of deliberation, and the principle of equality. A good ruler will uphold justice, deliberation and equality among the people. On the contrary, bad rulers are unjust, authoritarian and discriminatory.
