Abstract

There have been many works on political theories in Islamic thought,

some of which have the character of mirrors for princes (fürstenspiegel)

that advise the rulers how to rule, how to cope with the crisis conditions or

chaos management and how to struggle for power. The examples of this

genre are İbn Zafer’s Sulvan al-Mutâ’ fî ‘udvân al-atbâ’ı and Turtûşî’s

Sirâcu’l-mulûk. Some others philosophy about the character of politics and

give the main features of the ruler such as Fârâbî’s Fusûlu’l-madanî and

el-Madîna al-fâdıla; Juwaini’s Gıyâs al-umem fi iltiyâs az-zulam,

Dawwanî’s Ahlâk-ı Calâlî, Ibn Jamâ’a’s Tahrîr al-ahkâm fî tadbîri ahl al-

Islâm and Ibn al-Fîrûz’s Gurrat al-baydâ. Some works deal with much

more comprehensive structure of the state including bureaucratic one, the

examples of which are Siyâsatnâma of Nizamulmulk and Kutadgu Bilig of

Yusuf Has Hajib. On the other hand, we have scholars who did not directly

tackle this matter but indirectly commented on it through interpreting

the key terms related to the politics like itaat, ulu’l-amr, shûra, al-amr bi’l

ma’rû va’n-nahy ani’l-munkâr, adl, hukm, khilâfa, bay’a, walâya, mulk,

amn, etc., Ibn Taymiyya is the outstanding example of these scholars who

did not author any specific treatise on the subject but contributed extensively

while interpreting related terms. In this paper we will analyze

Mâturîdî’s ideas on ulu’l-amr which is among the hot debates in political

agenda. In his aloofness with the state and in his insistence on the rule of

law represented by the values and norms, Mâturîdî has the same sensitivity

when interpreting the term ulu’l-amr.
