In it, the writer explains the dynamics of Islamic political thought and its consequent deeds in historical process of Islamic civilization both during pre-modern and modern. Based on his research, the writer concludes that there is a gap in the relationship betwen the ruler and the ruled in the perspective of Islamic political thought and practices. Political reality does not match with the religious ideality. The gap even continues in certain degree and in other form during current modern era. Therefore, in order to develop modern society often called civil society, government role is very important, namely, to support the development of infra-structural life of community by providing public space in its real meaning. This means that government not only allows its people to speak but also opens its inner eyes for peoples aspirations both delivered from formal and non-formal democratic institutions.
