Notes
This study tackles the subject of contemporary Islamic political thought, based on the fundamental hypothesis that this thought was born in a state of crisis from the very beginning, dating back to the 1920s after the fall of the Ottoman Caliphate in 1924 and the rise of the nation-state. Over time, this thought has become increasingly strained, calling for the return of the caliphate. It later shifted towards a discourse that broke with Arab reformist ideologies and rejected liberal political philosophy, advocating instead for the restoration of Sharia-based politics and Islamic governance, epitomized by the slogan «Islam is both a religion and a state.» In later phases, Islamic political thought became further polarized with the concept of «Hakimiyya» (sovereignty of Allah), paving the way for the emergence of jihadist and takfiri organizations.
