Abstract

The concept of allegiance is one of the most important Quranic words that has a close relationship with political participation, although it is obvious that political participation cannot be known or reduced to its equivalent concepts, capacity can be measured based on the Quranic attitude. Based on this, the main research question is what is the nature of allegiance in the Qur'an and what approach to it is the desired approach of the Qur'an? The research is based on the topic interpretation method and it is based on the fact that allegiance is one of the concepts from which political participation can be extracted and deduced and has the ability to measure capacity in the Qur'an, based on this capacity measurement it can be said that from the perspective of the Qur'an, allegiance is a semi-signature concept. It is an establishment, and it has the condition of the legitimacy of the religious state and the maximization and originality of active political participation. Based on this, in the era of the absence of text and the legitimacy of the leadership of the jurist, it is possible that it requires allegiance (acceptance and consent) to be actualized, which today can be interpreted as elections, considering the constructive and effective legitimacy of allegiance in addition to the text; the departure of the narrative-Qur'anic texts from the category of Scott Khasf and avoiding the argumentativeness of the narrations of allegiance, and the extensive analysis of the concept of allegiance are among the findings of the research.
