Answer: The Mughals tended to regard themselves as rulers by divine right, rather than as subject to Islamic law.

Explanation: The divine right of kings, or divine-right theory of kingship, is a political and religious doctrine of royal and political legitimacy. It asserts that a monarch is subject to no earthly authority, deriving his right to rule directly from the will of God. Which was used in the Mughal empire to legitimize their rule.
