Islamic Monarchy refers to a system of governance where a monarch, often a king or queen, rules a state that is influenced by Islamic principles and laws. In this system, the monarch may derive authority from both religious and political sources, often claiming to be a protector of the faith. Countries like Saudi Arabia exemplify this model, where the royal family plays a significant role in both governance and religious leadership. In an Islamic Monarchy, the laws and policies may be guided by Sharia, or Islamic law, which can affect various aspects of life, including social, economic, and legal matters. The monarch's decisions are often seen as divinely sanctioned, and they may hold significant power over the state's affairs, while also being expected to uphold Islamic values and traditions.
