A Glimpse into Sovereignty (Vol.2): Religion and Sovereignty

Sovereignty is one of the main elements of a political society that is closely related to all aspects of the life of its members and is important. Sovereignty is the source of the law governing society, and itself is the fruit of the insights, values, religion, and ethics of society, and is manifested according to them. Hence, each religion or school, according to its worldview, will create a certain type of government. At a glance, the existing governments around the world and throughout history can be divided into three types: natural, contractual, and religious, which have emerged in certain forms from the schools of natural or contractual law or religions and in accordance with their teachings. Islam, which is an all-encompassing religion and a religion of social life, also emphasizes a certain type of government that Muslims need to know. In this work, with an analytical, comparative, and critical look at the types of governments, Islamic government, its characteristics, and advantages are explained in more detail.
