The Political Properties of "the Doctrine of Monotheism" for Explaining the Divine Legitimacy and Criticizing "Popular Legitimacy" and "Dual Legitimacy"

"Legitimacy" is among the problems with which all political systems are faced and to which they should give an appropriate response. Concerning the issue of "legitimacy", the theory of "divine legitimacy" proposed by the Islamic political system represents a challenge to the other theories about legitimacy. It is necessary to note that the theory of "divine legitimacy" is based on a "monotheistic view" and it derives its inspiration from the properties of the "doctrine of monotheism. Therefore, the doctrine of monotheism should not be considered to have an abstractive entity; it should rather be viewed as an applied doctrine. Using a descriptive-analytic method, this study seeks to prove the theory of "divine legitimacy" and criticize the theories of "popular legitimacy" and "dual legitimacy" by referring to the political properties of the "doctrine of monotheism”.
