Politics as it is an active practice in statements, manifestos, editorials, and philosophical texts, helps draw and redraw conceptual boundaries. To be sure, much of political life consists not in contesting formed concepts or constructing new ones, but in applying agreed-upon and cherished notions in new contexts to render unseen injustices visible or identifying additional examples of virtue, with varying success. Concepts are used in politics and reconfirmed as political concepts when they are mapped onto societal terrains in innovative and controversial ways. This paper aims at defining politics in its content and background in Islamic politics. The research adopted a qualitative approach to carry out this work.

His authority and significant contributions, particularly in the development of Islamic knowledge and education in Selangor, have been recorded in various writings by English colonial administrators and historians. Selangor attained significant educational achievements under his reign as a result of his commitment to human capital development, notably through the advancement of faith and morality. Individuals who establish Islamic faith and tauhid must always cultivate strong morals and ethics. This is because good character enables people to practice Islamic ideals in their daily lives, such as honesty, trustworthiness, compassion, and justice, all of which are vital to Islamic teachings.
