Abstract

In the Middle East and the Islamic world, there has been a great deal of cognitive and intellectual controversy about Islam's position on a number of issues at the global level, including its position on contemporary civilizational values; Like: (Human Rights - Freedom - Equality - Democracy, Citizenship,...), this debate has become more intense and heated with the attempt to globalize and mainstream these values; That they become universal common human values, even synonymous with progress and the adoption of these contemporary values, and that Islam, as a whole, has a position in every form and issue; What is Islam's position on these contemporary civilizational values? Is there a consensus between Islamic and contemporary values, or is there disagreement? What is the extent of this consensus or disagreement? Is there a match, or is there a contradiction, and where does the building of a democratic system that corresponds to the values and beliefs of the East begin? This is what this study is trying to answer by addressing the nature of the relationship between Islam and one of these contemporary values. Given the diversity and diversity of these values, the choice of the study is based on the value of democracy as a model. As the most prominent of these contemporary values, as well as many other contemporary ones; Like human rights, freedom and citizenship, democracy is often synonymous with the rest of these values. Indeed, democracy is often synonymous with progress. Thus, treating democracy as a contemporary civilizational value is the best choice - in our view - to determine the nature of the relationship between Islam and contemporary values, and the study has attempted to answer many of the questions that present the problem of studying this thorny topic; Like: The relationship between consultation and democracy - the relationship between the sale and the social contract - the concept of sovereignty in both systems - the concept and function of the State - the position on some of the problems raised and contemporary values; Human rights, political pluralism, the circulation of power, the separation of powers. The study also examined the cognitive perception of both Islamic and democratic systems, and concluded with a number of findings and recommendations.
