Abstract

There is a thought pattern rampant in the west that there is no concept of politics in Divine Religions and this thought is continuously been propagated and given strength. Politics and religion are two different things and this view has seriously kept apart from religion and politics for centuries distorting the role of religion. Consequently this misconception has opened the doors for oppression and exploitation. It is therefore, necessary to dismiss this misconception and set the records straight. The purpose of this article is to present the right concept of politics in divine religions.  The article further explains the relation between religion and politics in the light of Qur’an and Sunn’ah.

Keywords: Qur’an, Politics, Ibn e Khuldun, Semitic, Christianity
