Editor's Note:
This study presents an Islamic conception of sovereignty from mainstream Sunni theologyby closely examining Ghiya¯th al-umam f ı¯ iltya¯th az_-z_ulam, the major political workof Abu al-Ma‘a¯lı¯ al-Juwaynı¯ (d. 478 AH/1085 CE), one of the key figures of the Ash‘arı¯school. Like Carl Schmitt, al-Juwaynı¯ attempts to excavate the grounds of sovereignpower by considering states of exception to political norms; however, al-Juwaynı¯’sposition is the reverse of Schmitt’s. Al-Juwaynı¯ argues that the state of exception,which defines the essence of sovereignty, is the absence of the sovereign power andthat the ultimate task of the sovereign is to secure a rationally pluralistic community.Examining al-Juwaynı¯’s Islamic conception of miracle (mu‘jiza), the study argues that theepistemological foundation of his characterization of the function of the sovereignpower is based on a uniquely dialectical critique of rational absolutism.https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/...
