مفهوم الحاكمية في الفكر الاسلامي المعاصر

Abstract

Abstract

This research addresses the foundations and analyzes the pillars of the principle of sovereignty in Islamic thought, historically and legislatively, and the intellectual and ideological transformations that this concept has undergone. The research attempts to answer central questions about sovereignty as a political theory based on God's complete sovereignty over Islamic legislation and divine laws, making them the source of the Islamic state. Sovereignty emerged historically with the political thought of the Kharijites in their relationship with the rulers of their time. The Kharijites considered sovereignty a fixed intellectual and ideological system in their political behavior. Sovereignty also moved to a new stage with the theories of the Pakistani thinker Abu al-A'la al-Mawdudi, who lived before the declaration of Pakistan's independence in 1947 in a tense relationship with the Hindu majority. He tried, through sovereignty, to establish an Islamic identity distinct from his own. Sayyid Qutb developed the sovereignty advocated by al-Mawdudi into a more extreme form in his relationship with rulers and Islamic societies as well. He considered the non-implementation of God's rulings and the laws of the Holy Quran as an indication of the rulers' disbelief and the ignorance of societies.

Keywords: The concept of sovereignty, contemporary Islamic thought, Sayyid Qutb, Abu al-A'la al-Mawdudi
