Abstract
The issue of models and strategies of power, in accordance with the Islamic political and legal tradition, remains at the focus of the global Islamic discourse. The discrepancy of the modernization project, introduced by the West to the culture of Islam, the imposition of different socio-political matrix, a new form of cognition of reality, and problems in the implementation of state projects, force the Muslim religious and intellectual elite to look for adequate forms of political and social management. Within variability of the offered programs and ideas, it is possible to highlight two main trends in the achievement of the objective.
The first – the reformist one – is aimed at making the necessary changes of the hybrid constitutions, developed and adopted during the colonial period, of the work of the constitutional courts, introduction of new legal norms, adequate to the modern times, into the social life. The second – the radical one – means a complete breakup with the type of political and social management enshrined in the project of the Modern, essentially a «return» to the Premodern by means of «re-activating» the classical Islamic political and socio-legal concept sphere in the conceptual space and in social practice.
The article attempts to analyse the peculiarity of the actualization of the concept «hijra» and a number of related concepts in the domain of the second trend, as a response to the challenges of modernity.
