| Summary: | The administrative and social structures formed by the Messenger of Allah in Medina are invaluable and integral for Muslims in their efforts to develop a practical Islamic political system. However, this specific example is provided not to encourage the blind imitation of an exact replica, but to understand how the creation of a political system compatible with Islam may be executed. The system implemented in Medina was not one that sought to destroy everything and to supplant a model that had yet to be seen; but rather, it was a continuation, albeit of a different paradigm, of the existing system. In other words, it constituted the reinterpretation of the existing processes in alignment with the rules of Islam. Therefore, this thesis aims to analyze Prophetic approaches to political authority using Ibn Khaldun's Social Cohesion State Theory. Following a qualitative approach while reading, analyzing, and comparing the texts, this thesis analytically examines the events occurring during Prophet Muhammad's lifetime rather than simply cataloguing what happened during the early period of Islam. More specifically, this thesis adopts J. David Velleman's Narrative Explanation, which aims to correlate different variables, in its methodological approach. Following this correlation, this method attempts to find a causal justification between the variables. |
