Abstract

After the Khilafah was overthrown in 1924 in Turkey, the issue of the relationship between religion (Islam) and the state in the Islamic world became one of the most popular conversations of all time. However, the Khilafah as a form of Islamic government is still a foreign issue by some at this time. Meanwhile, the struggle of Hizb ut-Tahrir (HT) to re-establish the Khilafah actually enlivens the conversation about the issue of the relationship between religion and the state. The data were collected through two sources, namely: (1) the main source through observations of HT activities and a study of documentation, which refers to the publication of HT's official books, HT's official website, and HT periodicals, and (2) secondary sources. Through the writings that are still related to this title. The data analysis uses the typology of the relationship between religion and the state as a measuring tool for comparison and discussion of results analytically and descriptively. This paper aims to examine HT's perspective on the Khilafah. HT is of the view that the Khilafah is not the same as other forms of government, such as monarchy, empire, federation, and republic. In addition, the Khilafah is also not the same as theocracy and government structure of Khilafah. All that shows that show that the Khilafah is indeed not the same as the concept of other forms of government in the world.
