Theoriess of Islamic governance

Islamic governance refers to how political authority and leadership are understood within Islamic teachings. Key theories include the concept of **Shura** (consultation), emphasizing collective decision-making; **Caliphate**, where leaders (Caliphs) serve as successors to the Prophet and uphold Islamic law; and **Imam** leadership, especially in Shia Islam, where Imams are divinely appointed guides with spiritual and political authority. These theories aim to integrate religious principles with governance, ensuring laws and policies reflect Islamic values, justice, and social harmony, while also considering contemporary governance structures.
