Abstract
Islamic government is an important concept in the modern world and political literature that has been established after the death of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) in certain historical periods and geographical dimensions in the Muslim world, sometimes as "caliphate" and sometimes in the form of "Imamate"; and it founded its ideological, political, social, and economic principles. The formation of the first Islamic government and its social structures was done particularly by the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) in Medina, but after his death, various conflicts took place about the succession and caliphate between various Islamic sects, including Sunni and Shia; the consequences of some of these conflicts is still present in the Muslim world (especially after the abolition of the Ottoman caliphate in the important region of Middle East). Initially, this article points out succinctly the social and ideological background and context of the emergence of contemporary Islamist movements and trends in the Middle East and the Muslim world. Then, it introduces the features and characteristics of the Islamic government from the perspective of one of the effective and important thinkers in the Muslim world i.e. Sayyid Qutb (1906-1966) in three macro areas of "cultural-ideological", "political" and "social-economic".
