The common and simple definition of an Islamic state refers to a system of government that is based on Islamic Sharia law. As a term, the word has been used to describe many political and religious governments in the Islamic world in the past. The Islamic concept of the state is hidden within the terminology that Islam has adopted to define the state. Islam has not adopted the terms ‘state’ or ‘kingdom’ or ‘government’ for the political organization established on its principles, but has adopted the terms ‘caliphate’ or ‘imamate’ or ‘leadership For this reason, to clarify the Islamic concept of the state, it is first necessary to consider these terms and understand their implications. Therefore, when the discussion of the Islamic state begins, its basic characteristics are three: politics, imamate, and caliphate.

These general ideas are actually based on a few firm, unwavering, and unquestionable principled ideas. "What need does Allah have for this worship and supplication of a servant?"
