"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
![](//static.miraheze.org/polcompballwiki/c/cd/Cball-PortugalKingdom.png)
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 ![](//static.miraheze.org/polcompballwiki/8/88/Cball-Ottomanism.png)
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 ![](//static.miraheze.org/polcompballwiki/e/ef/Cball-Iran.png)
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 ![](//static.miraheze.org/polcompballwiki/1/11/Islamic_Democracy.png)
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
![](//static.miraheze.org/polcompballwiki/c/c7/Cball-Isis.png)
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.
- Draw a ball.
- Color it green.
- Add a yellow star and crescent.
- Draw the eyes.
Finished!

Thanks Mussolini.Manosphere - I don't think you should go way too far when you complain too much about women and use my religion to justify your misogyny. 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...
