In the last century such Caliphate-minded and anti-colonial Muslim reformists as Jamal al-Din Asad Abadi initiated the process of reform and the redefining of Islamic concepts, which was followed by religious thinkers like Mawdudi and Sayyid Qutb. Through the reinterpretation of Islamic terms and expressions, they generated new social and political discourse, and the Caliphate movement. When the Soviet Union occupied Afghanistan in 1979, a coalition of the Western, Arab, and other Muslim congeries took advantage of the “Takfiri and Jihadi ideology” and the Caliphate movement to mobilize tens of thousands of combatants from all over the world to fight against the Soviet forces. Over the years of war, the Jihadi ideology spread all over the world, and in the Mediterranean and the Middle East in particular. It mobilized various forces against the Soviets and finally brought it to its knees. During this period, however, Takfiri-Jihadi ideology gradually changed to an ‘Islamization of terror and sectarianism project’. This paper attempts to study the traditional and contemporary points of view on the jurisprudential foundations and revival of the Caliphate through a politico-jurisprudential approach.
