Founding of the “Science of Political Islam”

Human phenomena, when they grow up, need understanding, and when their influence increases, they need science and knowledge that gives a stable ability for accurate understanding and induction, which facilitates the task of anticipating its future after dealing with its reality and monitoring its history.

The development of science has gone through various known, dated and written stages, in each science separately. It is sufficient to read about the types of sciences and how they evolved until they settled on their market to know that the continuity of establishing new sciences and different approaches is the affair of science in every field, and the development of science and the development of humanity remains inseparable.

The long history of philosophy is witness to the transition from general philosophies to specialized philosophies, and the history of the sciences branching from them is long such as sociology, history and many others, and every science produces its branches and develops itself and develops with humans, and this is true in the history of Sharia sciences in Islam, and this is generally the case of every science and art always.

“Political Islam” is a term with a modern connotation that includes origins and branches that express the extent of its breadth, importance and influence, and it has been going on for nearly eight decades in more than one place in the Islamic world before it spread to all parts of the world. With a strict academic curriculum that reveals its aspects, monitors its dimensions, and delves into it as a method and organizations, discourse and concepts, nature and relationships, and this briefing on it can be a new branch in the humanities in the world, and the most worthy who do this are Muslims themselves, and universities and academies that include departments that discuss social and cultural phenomena It is a priority for some countries of the world and neglects the establishment of sections dealing with the problems of Muslim countries.

Like any science that needs to work on the foundational definitions in a tight scientific manner, during which this science, its subject, its origins, its branches, and its relationship to the sciences close to it are defined.

It will deal with many topics, research and branches, while working on monitoring the history of this topic and this phenomenon, when it began, how it appeared on the surface, and how it developed historically over the decades, whether in India, Egypt, Iran, or the rest of the world.

The branches of this science can be specialized geographically over the area of ​​the globe, so that this phenomenon is addressed in the most important areas in which it has spread, and the characteristics of each region are monitored. Political Islam in the Arab world, in Egypt, the country of Arab origin, and then in each Arab country separately, such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, Iraq, Syria and the Maghreb, and political Islam in Malawi, Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei, and political Islam in Iran, and the Shiite version of political Islam, and monitoring the relations and influences between Sunni and Shiite versions, and work to learn political Islam in Western and Eastern countries and the rest of the world and its regions.

The foundational and developmental thought is an area to deal with this phenomenon, as the ruling concepts and main principles were addressed, and their relationship to the religion of Islam and its relationship to communism, as well as Nazism, fascism, and European national organizations at the beginning of the twentieth century were monitored. in order to achieve it.

What combines them and what differs, and this is a wide and rich field when it is placed under the scalpel of knowledge and the condition of knowledge. Finally, this is a very brief talk, regarding the importance of establishing a science specific to this phenomenon, which constitutes an important step in the path of science and knowledge and an indispensable addition, and it will achieve valuable goals for science, Muslims and all humanity, and will have political, economic, cultural and social dimensions that prevent manipulation, reduce damage and increase knowledge.
