This paper brings into consideration the relationship between the two important fiels in the Islamic political thought, i.e. the political theology and the political philosophy. Contrary to the beliefs of some who reduce the Islamic political philosophy to political theology, these two fields are independent of each other, and despite some similarities they are different with respect to method, subject matter, and some other aspects. Political philosophy was a distinguished discipline among the philosophical sciences, but political theological issues were only part of the theological issues.
