This thesis is devoted to the study of the political thought of Ibn Taymiyya. The thesis consists of a short introduction to the development of Islamic political thought. The first chapter deals with the historical and social background to Ibn Taymiyya's writings and gives an account of his life and trials and the basis for his thought. The second chapter discusses Ibn Taymiyya's concept of political authority and the system of government based on the rule of the sharl'a. The third chapter deals with Ibn Taymiyya's concept of the ruler; his qualifications and the methods of his election. The last chapter discusses the mutual duties of the ruler and the subjects. In analysing his ideas, an attempt is made to show the contribution made by Ibn Taymiyya to the formulation of the Sunnite political theory. The conclusion presents the results of this analysis of his political writings and their influence.
