CEVAP:

The fundamental aspect which makes room for the existence of the organization of state-or mulk, according to Ibn Khaldûn- is asabiyyah. The following signify the determining role of asabiyyah on ‘umrân: 1. States-especially the great ones- depend upon ruling through lineage and/or alliance; 2. The great state is the one in which rulers succeed one another in a long period of time; this is the fundamental rule in sovereignty and applies until the decay; 3. The rightful ownership is taken from the hands of those who lost it through the asabiyyah possessed. Furthermore, justice cannot be the case fully in the absence of asabiyyah; because asabiyyah paves the way for the realization of human activities which are agreed to be useful for the society, as well as for supplying the demands remaining outside the scope of mutual protection and maintenance, which also contributes to the development of crafts; hence, economy.
