Political aspects of Islam

What is the role of politics in Islam? How important is it for Muslims to be actively involved in politics? (File photo)

The separation of the Church (religion) and State (politics) was once a compelling argument in the Western society. But recent challenges posed by both religions (or at least the interpretations of it) and global politics has made it very clear that this type of separation is not just unrealistic but undesirable, too.

What is the role of politics in Islam? How important is it for Muslims to be actively involved in politics? What type of opportunities exist in the political arena for Muslims?  Is it even desirable to be seeking political office?  What is this obsession with seeking political positions?  Can people not engage without seeking political positions?
