Abstract

This article intends to study the concepts of state, leader, authority
and obedience through the eye of Necip Fazıl as an Islamist. It intends to
reveal the place of Necip Fazıl, who has a great influence on the Turkish right
wing’s gaining its present identity, in Turkish Islamist Thinking by explaining
the concept of authoritarianism from his perspective.

Starting from the writings of Necip Fazıl, who is one of the most
important thinkers of the Turkish Islamism, on the concepts of state, leader,
authority and obedience, we intend to understand better the journey which the
conservative Islamist thinking has followed from the day when it rose to the
present throughout the history of Turkey. Starting from the magnitude of the
influence of Necip Fazıl, who has guided a great number of statesmen through
his thoughts in the Turkish political history, on the Turkish-Islamist
thinking, we intend to show the place of the concepts of state, leader,
authority and obedience in the traditional Turkish Islamist-Conservative
thinking.
