Abstract (EN)

As a universal religion, Islam is both communal and individual. Aside from the spiritual meaning it brings to people's lives, it also influences public life through particular behavioral contributions. As a result, it becomes an ideology and is incorporated into politics. Political Islam, which entails designing and operating all aspects of the state with a religious mindset, is one specific example of this; however, when mixed with violent methods, it is referred to as extreme Islam. This paper are investigated the Taliban, Afghanistan's contemporary representative of fundemental Islam, and emphasizes the claim that religion, as represented by the Taliban, is an ideological form of administration rather than a sacred unifying force. Because, from this perspective, it is critical to understand what extent the religion of Islam, whose borders are defined by the existence of the Quran, can become radicalized and influence political and social life, both in terms of contributing to the field and analyzing other radical organizations. Keywords: Political Islam, Fundamental Islam, Taliban, Islam, Religion.
