Summary

Islam and Politics

The Islamic religion has been associated with politics since its establishment. The prophet Muhammad was a religious and political leader for the people “Ummah”.3 He worked as a political leader in different aspects and conducted many successful military expeditions with different parties throughout his leadership period. The weak government and system lived at the tensions that led to failed statehood facilitated internal conflicts, especially with the existence of three different parties (Shia, Sunni, Kurds), with different visions and different views of the new Iraq. Syria is another region that has been facing internal conflict to a large extent since 2011.
