In order to learn about Islam and the things that are forbidden in Islam one can join a Muslim academy where he can learn Muslim culture and learn Muslim language. One can learn Islam in detail by studying the Quran. The Quran is in Arabic language so you can even learn Arabic language in such academies. It is better to learn Arabic so that you can understand the Quran by reading it yourself. The Quran explains in detail the rights and duties of everyone. There are many verses in the Quran that explain the duties of a ruler in an Islamic state. The ruler is required to have a simple life even if he has all the resources in his hands.

Most of the duties and rights of the ruler are directly expressed but some of them are expressed indirectly.
