Islamic Theocracy

From Polcompball Wiki

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.

"God does not judge you according to your bodies and appearances, but He looks into your hearts and observes your deeds."

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 2021, 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.

  •   Buddhist Theocracy - Not Islam, but not haram either.
  •   Islamic Feminism - Ban polygamy, not wearing hijab in public, female Imams and equal rights between men and women? Have you actually read the Quran, the Hadiths and the Sunnah sister? Otherwise, We're the first religion to give Women rights and supporting their financial independence.
  •   Black Islamism - All human race is equal!! and definitely you haven't read Quran!
  •   Dengism - Thanks for giving us funding to kick the Soviets' asses out of Afghanistan but keep those investments coming and we'll approve your handling of the Uighur situation for now you dirty commies. Why so friendly towards   this thing?
  •   Islamic Democracy - While indeed all in the Ummah should have a freedom to say what They want, I'm starting to think that you have been influenced from those Infidel Westerners' theories, which actually explains why you are too liberal and some of your beliefs aren't really enough for an Islamic ideology like you... You're good as a recruitment tactic though...
  •   İttihadism - You were right on a reforming Ottoman, but why you Secularized and Nationalized Turks, and this is why Arab revolt happened!
  •   Jihadism - We are all Muslims, but you are a lot more extreme, and you make us look bad. You remind me of kharijite, and honestly - prophet commanded us to kill those dogs of hell without hesitance!
  •   Financialism - Usury is haram, and Sharia-compliant banking is the best solution!
  •   Satirism - MEMRI TV despite being run by Israel,   Halal memes and r/arabfunny made me laugh. On the other hand, Charlie Hebdo, Scandinavia and the World[1] and some South Park episodes (like 200 and 201) offended me due to their blasphemy.
  •   Gaddafism - My Libyan child, he took many of my ideas, and he respects me, but STOP PUTTING YOUR IDEAS ABOVE ISLAM! At least you supported me in the Philippines.

I'm telling you that because I'm the first religion to introduce women's rights, but unfortunately, people say that I'm a misogynist because Muslim-majority countries don't treat women like the Prophet Muhammad expected. According to the Quran, men are supposed to be defenders of women, not their enemies, abusers, killers or whatever I'm talking about. However, congratulations to Andrew Tate and Sneako for converting to Islam, but still...
