Islamic Political Theory refers to the framework of governance and political thought derived from Islamic teachings, primarily the Qur'an and the Hadith. It emphasizes the concept of Shura (consultation) and the importance of justice, accountability, and the welfare of the community. The theory advocates for a political system that aligns with Islamic values and promotes the common good. Central to Islamic Political Theory is the idea of the Caliphate, a leadership model that represents the Muslim community. This model seeks to implement Islamic law (Sharia) in governance, ensuring that political authority is exercised in accordance with Islamic principles. The theory also addresses the relationship between religion and state, emphasizing the moral responsibilities of leaders.
