The current study is an attempt to analyze the notions of of Ibn Khaldun and
Machiavelli regarding the politics as propounded in their works entitled the
Prolegomena of the Kitab al-Ibar and The Prince respectively. The article, as a
description and an interpretation, tries to explore the milieu, meaning and significance of
two thinkers, their ideas, and political cultures in which they existed. This article
encompasses a succinct survey of the common ideas regarding the social philosophy
with special reference to the state and sovereignty. On the other hand, an effort has also
been made to compare both of the thinkers in the points of differences in their ideas as
well. Although, Islam is one of the most powerful means of explaining human life and
giving meaning to our activity and motivates individuals and groups. But rightly or
wrongly, it is perceived as the antagonist of the Western values. Yet, an attempt has
been made to compare the Muslim political thoughts with the works of the Western
thinkers. Not least, we can see both Western and Muslim political thoughts in a new
light by setting the philosophy of each side by side. This was the reason for writing this
article. It will, I hope, prove reason for reading it.
