"God does not judge you according to your bodies and appearances, but He looks into your hearts and observes your deeds."
Islamic Theocracy, or Muslim Theocracy, also known as Islamism, is a culturally right, authoritarian and economically variable ideology. Political aspects of Islam are derived from the Qur'an, the Sunnah (the sayings and living habits of 
Muhammad), Muslim history, and elements of political movements in the Islamic world.
It should be noted that there is a difference between the Sunni and Shia interpretations of Islamic Theocracy. With Sunni Muslims believing in the rightfully guided caliphs (Rashidun) who were elected via consultation (Shura) following Muhammad`s death. Whereas Shiites reject this interpretation and instead believe Ali (the 4th Caliph) and his descendants are the only rightful rulers (Imamate).
History
Three Caliphates
The first Islamic Theocracy is commonly thought to be the Rashidun Caliphate. It was founded in 632 after the death of Muhammad. But, before the Rashiduns, there was the Medina Islamic Government which was ruled by Muhammad. During the leadership of Muhammad, the Medina Islamic Government conquered much of pre-Islamic Arabia. After Muhammad died in 632, Abu Bakr became the first Rashidun Caliph. The Rashidun Caliphate would expand in pretty much all directs, expanding the Islamic religion far and wide. After the collapse of the Rashidun Caliphate in 661, the Umayyad Caliphate was created. The Umayyads are mostly remebered for conquering 
Iberia 
with the helps of the 
Berbers and 
Moors. After the Umayyads, Islam split into multiple Caliphates. The main one was the Abbasid Caliphate, which was eventually conquered by the Mongols in 1258, but came back into existence in 1261. The Abbasids were also the Caliphate that existed during the 
Crusades. The Abbasids lost their last lands in 1517, after which the title of 'Caliphate' was passed to the 
Ottoman Empire.
Iberia and Reconquista 
Alongside the Abbasids, there were a few split-off caliphates as well. Most notably was the Caliphate of Córdoba which existed in Muslim Iberia for a few hundred years. It itself eventually collapsed into multiple smaller Islamic states. This weakened the Islamic presence in Iberia and led way for the 
Catholics to Crusade south and forcefully destroy the Islamic presence in the region in what is known as 
Reconquista 
.
Ottoman Caliphate 
In the period after the fall of the Abbasids, the 'Caliphate' was given to the 
Ottoman Empire. From 1517-1924, the Ottoman Empire was also referred to as the 'Ottoman Caliphate' (though some people suggest they are different entities for some reason). The Ottomans were considered the head of Islam for centuries, especially after the 
Persian Empire fell into dissary, leaving the 
Shia version of Islam without an effective leader. The Ottomans went on a long period of decline however, officially collapsing in 1922 in the aftermath of their defeat in World War I. The Ottoman Caliphate would be officially dissolved two years later, with the title of 'Caliphate' now going to, well, nobody.
Middle East Cold War 
After the fall of the Ottoman Empire, most of Arabia was conquered by al-Saud, the ruling family of Nejd. The went about conquering Shammar, a pro-Ottoman clan in the north, and 
Hejaz, a pro-British kingdom in the west. After these conquests, they established the Kingdom of Nejd and Hejaz, which was recognized by the League of Nations as the 
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia a few years later. Meanwhile, Persia was still collapsing. In 1925, the Sublime State of Persia was dissolved and the Imperial State of Persia was founded. In 1979, Persia collapsed due to the Iranian Revolution. In it's place, the 
Islamic Republic of Iran was formed. Iran and Saudi Arabia became natural enemies as Iran represented 
Republicanism and Shia Theocracy, whilst Saudi Arabia represented 
Monarchism and Sunni Theocracy. This resulted in a cold war in the Middle East between the two over who was the rightful leader of the Islamic world.
Arab Spring 
From 2010-2012 the Arab Spring begun. In almost every Arab country, revolts sprung up to depose dictators and monarchs all over the Middle East. This scared Saudi Arabia as it was an 
absolute monarchy. Iran supported these rebellions in an attempt to get some allies, whilst Saudi Arabia supported the governments. The only exception to this was in 
Syria and 
Iraq where Iran backed the governments and Saudi Arabia the rebels.
Arab Winter 
Following the Arab Spring, mass violence occured throughout the Islamic World. This was known as the Arab Winter. Civil wars raged, violence increased, and 
jihadists 
started taking land. This came to the benefit of the 
Islamic State which took over huge chunks of Syria and Iraq, declaring themselves a new Caliphate. They were promptly defeated in 2017 though. In 2020, the coalition force left 
Afghanistan, causing the 
Taliban to promptly re-took Afghanistan and re-establishing the 
emirate in the nation.

How to Draw
Fact: As funny as it is to say, the star and crescent didn't even originate from Islam. They had origins in Ancient times when they were used to represent Luna and Diana, moon goddesses from Greek Hellenism mythology, which was influenced by the Sumerian gods Sin and Ishtar. The sun and crescent were later adopted by the Ottomans.
