(Power in Islamic Political Thought: Origins and the Problem of Legitimacy)
The issue of power is at the heart of political thought both in classical and modern times. The origins of power, methods of legitimisation, the elements without which it cannot be conceived even if it is not a conceptual part, and how to achieve power are the main focus of political thinkers.
The modern period is a time period in which power relations are considered from a broader perspective and theories that are significantly different from the classical period are developed. In Islamic political thought, various groups, including theologians, jurists, muhaddis, Sufis, philosophers, historians, and rulers, have analysed the issue of power in depth. This has provided the history of Islamic political thought with a rich content on the problem of power. This book focuses on the origins and legitimacy of power, centred on the depth and diversity of Islamic political thought.
