Political Islam Discourse According to the Ideas of Imam Khomeini (RA), Sayyid Qutb and Malik Ibn Nabi

The strategy of returning to Islam in the contemporary era has brought various analyses and approaches to the Muslim community. Although, these endeavors were organized in different intellectual, cultural and religious spaces but formed within the framework of semantic monotheistic system and inspired by the great teachings of Islam. It seems that the viewpoints of Imam Khomeini (RA), Sayyid Qutb and Malik ibn Nabi which have resulted in the creation of revivalist, jihadi and reformist approaches have led the main intellectual and practical trends in the Islamic world. In fact, each of these three perspectives represents a special interpretation of political Islam and the present study will investigate their desired meaning systems and their special articulation of sentences, propositions and signs individually and thereby, the way through which each one became able to reach their own achievements will be demonstrated. Although, rereading of Islam constructs the central signifiers of the three views but the three scholars studied in this paper have achieved different accomplishments. Because their central signifiers or indications have affected other concepts and signs differently and created a different articulation.
