About the Book

The discourse analysis approach adopted in this study places the religious text at the center of the political culture of Muslims, shedding light on the structure of authority and its relationship within the Islamic world. This is done to examine political knowledge and its mechanisms of power, which are considered a cornerstone in shaping most, if not all, types of political texts and ideas that enrich our culture.

Where did these authoritarian theories originate, how were they recorded, how did they function, and what is the nature of their role and authority in our current life and reality?
