The document discusses several topics related to Islamic political sociology: 1. Political sociology examines how power operates across different levels of analysis, from individuals to states. Islamic political sociology also considers the social causes and consequences of power distribution within societies based on Quranic principles. 2. There is debate around the relationship between political Islam and democracy. While some argue that certain interpretations are inherently anti-democratic, others note diversity in Islamist movements and their willingness to engage in democratic processes. 3. The rise of political Islam is influenced by social and generational frustrations from a lack of opportunities. Large youth populations and educated classes faced limited prospects, inflaming tensions addressed by Islamist discourse.

Political sociology is an interdisciplinary field of study concerned with
exploring how power and oppression operate in society across diversified
levels of analysis.
 It’s interested in the social causes and consequences of how power is
distributed and changes throughout and amongst societies.
 Political sociology's focus ranges across individual families to the
State as sites of social and political conflict and power contestation.

3. Islamic Political Sociology
 Recent development has been a revival of interest in the "social
project" of Islam.
 "A central aim of the Quran is to establish a viable social
order on earth that will be just and ethically based"
The intellectual tradition of the Quran requires that Quranic thought be
dependent on a factual and proper study of social conditions in order to
develop Islamic social norms for reforming society

4. Islamic Political Sociology
The Quran and the genesis of the Muslim community occurred in the
light of history and against the social historical background
Belief in the divine mandate of the Muslim community gave
Muslim rulers the rationale for spreading their rule and empire

7. Introduction
About Four
Sources

8. 1-Political Sociology: Religion
 There is a substantial difference between the level of democratization
between the Islamic and non-Islamic regions with Arab states especially
unlikely to be democratic.
 Developments show Islamic political thought is inevitably anti-
democratic
 There has been substantial Islamist terrorism internationally

9. Political Sociology: Religion
 Although Islamic extremists are often characterized as
anti-democratic the motivations of Islamic terrorists and
political Islam, are varied

10. 2-Political Islam: Theory
 Islamists differ in their traditionalism with regard to religious authority
and knowledge.
 Groups or trends may differ in their tendency toward political
quietism or willingness to use violence
 Political Islam should not be restricted to social movements seeking to
attain power or to those revolutionary governments brought to power
by Islamist activism

11. 3-Political Sociology of Islam Integration
 Freedom and equality, liberalism’s two core principles, have been the
benchmark of the institutional integration of Islam
 The problem for Islam to be corporately included: It requires a
church-like central organization that is foreign to Islam, which
has no clergy formally empowered to speak for all Muslims
 The distancing from religion generates risks for religious liberties,
which is epitomized by France’s two-decade-long Islamicheadscarf
struggles

12. 4- Class, generation and Islamism: Towards a global
sociology of political Islam
 Political Islam or Islamism is the consequence of
social frustrations articulated aroun social division
of class and generations.
 The demographic revolutions produced large cohorts of young
Muslims, while well educated
could not find any opportunities
inflammed by National Governments.

13. Summary Of Three
Sources

14. 1-Political Sociology : Religion
 Islamists differ in their traditionalism with regard to religious authority
and knowledge.
 Groups or trends may differ in their tendency toward political
quietism or willingness to use violence
 Political Islam should not be restricted to social movements seeking to
attain power or to those revolutionary governments brought to power
by Islamist activism

15. 1-Political Sociology : Religion
 Although Islamic extremists are often characterized as anti-democratic
the motivations of Islamic terrorists and political Islam, are varied
 Most recent armed conflicts have been in Muslim countries and
they have a higher than average participation in interstate
conflicts
Developments in political Islam raise interesting about the
relationships between religion and both political violence and
democracy.

16. 2-Political Islam: Theory
 Potentially more interesting for political theorists are questions related to
particular versions or modifications of democracy in an Islamic political
context.
 This ideological development (and long-standing Islamist participation in
undemocratic elections and judicial politics) created widespread
expectations in 2011–2013 that Islamist groups would come to power
prepared to act in accordance with constitutional democratic norms.

17. 2-Political Islam: Theory
 The centralized, bureaucratic, legislating, sovereign state was imposed
on Muslim societies throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries,
sometimes by local modernizing elites and sometimes by European colonial
powers

18. 3-Political Sociology of Islam Integration
 The tools for this rapprochement exist within Islamic doctrine in terms of
the so-called maqasid approach, very much the high road of Islamic
Reformism Today.
 In stubbornly denying the status to Islam, the state can only resort to
formal concernsabout the Islamic organizations
