Islamic Political Thought: A Study of the Diverse Interpretations of Medieval Muslim Political Thinkers
Journal Title: Saudi Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 11
Abstract
Abstract: Islamic political thought has remained the most contentious subject from the 7th century C.E. of Islamic civilisation. The thought witnessed the diverse interpretations throughout the ages. During Medieval Islamic history hereditary succession, decline in spirituality, and alien influences in socio-political thought and cultural affairs of Muslims obliged Muslim political thinkers to come forward in order to present an appropriate political thought of Islam in their respective ages, so that the legacy of Islam would be maintained. The fact is that they had varied opinions on different aspects of Islamic political thought, but they succeeded in determining the comparable political thought of Islam in which they illustrated that the implementation of Sharīʻah (Islamic law) is highly indispensable in Islam. In this connection the paper is a humble effort to highlight the thought of medieval political thinkers of Islam. The work is based on an analytical study.
