This hadith also curses monarchy in another version. We have to make khilafat.

Salam `Aleykum,

No it does not "curse monarchy", kingdom is a natural political evolution in the Islamic world, eventually leading up to Khilafah again.

It was reported that when Mu`awiyah (raa) became the ruler he stood up and said: "Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! I am the first of kings."

And in the SAHIH Hadith:

One day The Prophet (SAWS) went to Um Haram's house and she offered him a meal, and after that he slept, and then woke up smiling. She (Um Haram) said, "I asked him, 'What makes you laugh, O Allah's Apostle?' He said, 'Some people of my followers were displayed before me as warriors fighting for Allah's Cause and sailing over this sea, kings on thrones,' or said, 'like kings on thrones.' (The narrator, Ishaq is in doubt about it.) I (Um Haram) said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Invoke Allah that He may make me one of them.' He invoked (Allah) for her and then lay his head and slept again...

So this was considered a good thing, not a bad thing, it is natural, but titles such as Shah'n'Shah or "King of kings" these are un-Islamic.

wal-Salamu `Aleykum.
