Abstract
This article examines four theories of the Islamic State elaborated by Islamist ideologues in the 20th century, three of whom are Sunni, including Abū al-Aʿlā Mawdūdī (1903-1979), Fazlur Raḥmān (1919-1988), and Ḥasan al-Turābī (1932-2016), and a Shiite, the āyatollāh Sayyid Rūhollāh Mūsawī Khomeinī (1902-1989). The article analyzes how these authors articulate the concept of an Islamic State, how they define this type of State and its characteristics, and what role they attribute to the Muslim public and religious leadership in this type of state.
