Abstract

The principles of political thought in the Meccan
verses of the Quran being discussed in the previous
issue, now a few practical examples from the Holy Quran
are presented. The experiences of some prophets, from
Noah to Moses, are studied in the light of Quranic
political thought. While studying the political
interactions between people and prophets, we will
realize that prophets such as Noah, Húd, Salih, and
lout's way of establishing religion was different from that
of Moses. From the time of Moses onward, the
succession policy replaced elimination. In his political
disputes, Moses intended to provide the elements of
sovereignty, though all prophets fought a political war
against the rulers of the time.
