Critique and Strategies for Confronting the Political Governance of Modern Ignorance from the Perspective of the Quran
Abstract
This article seeks to explain the definition of the political governance of modern ignorance. It puts forward the hypothesis that the political governance of modern ignorance aims to eliminate divine governance and separate religion from politics. The method used in this research is interpretative-interrogative. The results obtained in this article indicate that the political governance of modern ignorance, denies and rejects God and revelation in the realm of society and politics. This thought is based on hostility and opposition to divine teachings and follows the desires of the self, arrogance, and sedition. In this study, the foundations of modern ignorance are criticized from the perspective of the Holy Quran, and its invalidity is explained. The Quranic strategies to confront the foundations and behaviors of the political governance of modern ignorance emphasize concepts such as God-centeredness, anti-arrogance, and the intertwining of religion and politics, and in all decisions, approaches, and behaviors, adherence to the commands and prohibitions of the divine word is considered.
