Islamic theocracy

Islamic theocracy is a government system where religious principles and laws derived from Islam, known as Sharia, directly influence and govern state policies and legal frameworks. In such a system, religious leaders or scholars often hold political authority, and laws are based on Islamic teachings. The goal is to create a society that aligns closely with Islamic values, combining religious and political authority. Examples include countries like Iran and Saudi Arabia, where religion significantly shapes laws, social norms, and governance.
