The axiological foundations of politics play an essential role in shaping political goals and orientations. This significance becomes even more pronounced when two different paradigms—Islamic politics and modern politics—propose their distinct and often opposing values. The present study addresses the question: What are the axiological foundations of Islamic politics, and how do they relate to modern politics? Using a descriptive-analytical approach, this research shows that in Islamic politics, political values are objective and stable realities rooted in monotheistic faith, whereas in modern politics, values are defined as conventional, relative, and based on social agreement. Furthermore, by emphasizing the interconnectedness of this world and the hereafter, Islamic politics views politics as a means for realizing divine justice and eternal happiness; modern politics, however, confines religion to the private sphere and focuses instead on secular rationality and worldly aims. A comparative examination of these two paradigms reveals a pattern of fundamental oppositions and limited possibilities for interaction.
