What is the correlation between metaphysics and politics? Is it possible to identify metaphysical underpinnings that could assist in elucidating the essence of political matters, or does politics, in its contemporary sense, lack philosophical, theoretical, or metaphysical foundations? The purpose of this research is to provide an answer to the question of what metaphysical or theoretical foundations Islam places on politics. Before we can address this crucial inquiry, we must first examine the fundamental categories of knowledge that exist within the Muslim faith: theoretical wisdom and practical wisdom. Through an analysis of the knowledge process and the interconnection between philosophy and theology, it is possible to deduce that “philosophy in the specific sense” or “theology” serves as the primary origin of metaphysical propositions that influence politics within the Islamic worldview. These propositions have endowed politics with an entirely new essence.
