writer explained the generel charactristics of Islamic political
system.
In this part he explains the Sunnite political system. According
to the writer the Sunnite's attempt at presenting specific

interpretations of Saghafiyye led to the provision of a fairly
coherent collection of the principles of the sunnite political
system, called the Islamic Cliphate by the Ashaerites and the
Mu'tazele. During the course of history the Islamic Caliphate
underwent deep changes which the writer classified into the old
and the new theories of the Sunnite political system and
mentioned their charactristics.
