Islamic political thought encompasses a range of ideas and principles derived from the teachings of Islam, particularly the Qur'an and the Hadith. It emphasizes the importance of justice, governance, and the role of the Ummah (community) in political life. Scholars like Al-Farabi and Ibn Khaldun have contributed significantly to this field, exploring the relationship between religion and state. Central to Islamic political thought is the concept of Shura, or consultation, which advocates for collective decision-making. Additionally, the idea of a Caliphate represents a political system where a leader governs according to Islamic law, aiming to uphold moral and ethical standards in society.
