- Title
THE ISLAMIC EPISTEME OF POLITIES DEVELOPMENT IN INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS.
- Authors
Bsoul, Labeeb A.
- Abstract
This paper illustrates the contributions of Islamic law to the development of transnational socio-political organisations that transcend racial and geopolitical fixations. Those are best enshrined in the premise of the unity of believing community and humanity led to the Shari'ah/Islamic law. Islam advocates the development and consolidation of communities. This study discusses the concept of 'ummah' (community of believers) according to the tradition of Prophet Muhammad and surveys its development throughout the Islamic caliphates, sultanates, and imamates up until colonialism and modern 'nation-state' system. The article argues that there are ontological, epistemological, and normative differences spanning the divide between Muslim and Western worldviews especially concerning the development and management of their polities.
