There are political systems in certain nations with a majority of Muslims that include aspects of Islam and politics working together as well as working apart. In many nations and situations, politics and Islam are frequently entwined. Like many other religions, Islam has tenets that can affect governance and political structures. Argue that Islam provides a moral compass for governance, while others emphasize the importance of individual freedoms and secular governance. Based on articles, books, and the comprehensive arguments of some researchers, this paper showed the relationship between Islam and politics from the perspective of religion and state.
