الفكر السياسي عند الطرطوشي (451-520 هـ، 1059-1126 م)‎

الملخص EN

Imam al-Tartushi presented his political thought in his book “Siraj al-muluk” (the light of the kings).

he did not come up with an imaginary utopian thought.

rather, he moved from his Islamic cloak to impose on the ruler and the ruled to deal in all circumstances with morals so that strife does not flourish and states disappear.

he mixed politics with morals.

his political thought was the thought of morals and piety to God.

the most important can be summed up in : the necessity of having the political motive, which is the sultan ; the sultan must be omnipotent in order for the laws to be applied to the oppressor and the oppressed ; there is a mutual interest between the shepherd and the parish for the presence of the sultan ; he commands the citizens to obey the sultan, even if he is unjust ; sultan and religion are twins.

one cannot be strong without the other ; the sultan should be characterized by piety, morals, justice, reason, consultation, and charity.

he must not overburden the citizens beyond their capacity.

God's punishment is always mentioned ; if the citizens are not satisfied with the sultan, he must step down and leave them their religion and worldly affairs ; aI-Tartushi insists on the sultan and says that the state's money is not common to him, and he must not store the money in the treasury, but rather distribute it so that he can earn men.
