This article examines the politics of bureaucratization of Islam that the Azerbaijani government initially implemented in the mid-2000s and which has intensified after 2011. First, the state superimposed its bureaucratic categories on the Muslim communities of the country. Then, it proceeded to transform local religious figures into state employees. Yet, at the same time, the government insists that it does not interfere into theological issues and that all of its bureaucratic initiatives are aimed at ensuring freedom of belief and protecting the public order. However, with time, the process of bureaucratization has shifted from regulation to a direct administrative and ideological intervention into the religious space aimed at creating a state-imagined "orthodoxy" designated as traditional Islam. This article draws on previously untapped primary sources to discuss the different ideological and political aspects of this bureaucratically initiated tradition and its pervasive and transformative influence on the local religious landscape.

Cпомощью применения системного подхода и системного анализа, он пытается обновить теорию исламского права и увеличить роль теории целей шариата в исламском законоведении.

In March, 2016, two symbolic figures of the modern Islamic thought died – Taha Jabir Al-Alwani (b.2016) and Hassan At-Turabi (b.1932). They were two very different persons, theologians and thinkers, which embodied a whole epoch in the history of the modern Islamic ideological and socio-political movements. There is something mystic in that they passed away almost simultaneously. ; В марте 2016 г. скончались две знаковые фигуры современной исламской мысли — Таха Джабир аль-Альвани (род. 1935) и Хасан ат-Тураби (род. 1932). Это были два очень разных человека, богослова и мыслителя, олицетворявшие целую эпоху в истории современных исламских идейных и социально-политических движений. В том, что они практически одновременно покинули этот мир, есть что-то мистическое.
