Abstract

This article will discuss the theological basis of politics in Islamic tradition, based on Hassan Hanafi an Abed al-Jabiri’s view. Islam, as a system of belief was born and developed historically in very thick socio-political background. Islamic political identity can be traced through historical trajectories and comprehensive reading of the crystallization of theological dogmas. This article attempts to examine the theological constructs carried by two Islamic reformers, Hassan Hanafi and Abed al-Jabiri. Hassan Hanafi comes with a new challenge to western political ideas, especially secularism, through systemic notes on Islamic tradition, or in another sense, viewing the west with Islamic eyes. Meanwhile al-Jabiri came up with an offer of ontological renewal which views that Islam does exist as both a worldly and a religious conception. This article attempts to concoct these two thoughts as part of an effort to read political reality from a theological point of view.

Abstract

This article explores Taha Abdurrahman's reconstruction of the political subject's ontology as a critical response to the secular foundations of modern political thought. In contemporary discourse, the political human is often conceptualized as a rational and autonomous agent (homo civicus), detached from any transcendent or moral obligation. Taha challenges this model by reintroducing two foundational Islamic concepts: al-amanah (divine trust) and al-mīṯāq (primordial covenant). He redefines the political subject as homo moralis, a moral-spiritual being tasked with ethical responsibility toward God and society. Through his iʾtimāniyyah paradigm, Taha offers a political ontology grounded not in power competition, but in moral accountability, ethical testimony, and self-purification (tazkiyah). This article situates Taha's ideas within broader currents in contemporary Islamic philosophy, comparing them to Seyyed Hossein Nasr's perennialism, Mohammed Arkoun's deconstruction, and Abdolkarim Soroush's epistemic pluralism. It argues that Taha's integration of moral theology, linguistic ethics, and spiritual epistemology presents a robust alternative to secular political rationality. Ultimately, Taha's thought lays the groundwork for a renewed Islamic political ontology where governance and citizenship are oriented toward transcendence, moral excellence, and divine remembrance.
