Abstract

This research paper seeks to shed light on the political Islamist movements in Morocco (on the issue of the state). It addresses the cases of Al Adl wal Ihsane ‘Justice and Charity Association and (Justice and Development Party) and adopt the (Islam is the solution) and the(The Qur'an is our constitution). The discourse of these movements on the subject of the state and the rule of God and succession was based on the percepts of the prophethood. However,after 2011, there were intellectual revisions and developments, based on the predominance of the jurisprudence of Makassed on human jurisprudence, and the criticism of previous ideas and the pursuit of the modern state. The research reached the conclusion that the movements of political Islam in Morocco did not achieve their vision of the modern Islamic state due to thenmaterial nature of the state and its modernist foundations, which contradict what was seen by Islamic thought and the fundamentalist religious and moral discourse that dominates their thinking despite their acceptance to participate in the aspects of the modern state.
