In the Context of the Constitutionalism the Islamic Constitutionalism Concept and the Medina Document

This study examines the idea of constitutionalism, which is a work of liberalism, as well as whether the idea of Islamic constitutionalism is possible. Indeed, constitutionalism has emerged around liberal thinkers and ideas. Therefore, the question of whether any other ideology or faith-specific constitutionalism can be mentioned is a question that is in need of answers. Another main topic addressed in the study is the Medina Document, which is expressed and evaluated by many authors as a constitution. The meaning of the concept of the Constitution, the conditions and the emergence of the period when the document was accepted; these are the points that should be evaluated in order to determine the accuracy of the authors' claims. Because the concept of constitution cannot be considered independent from constitutionalism, both the Islamic constitutionalism discourses and claims that the document is a constitution are not independent from each other. For this reason, both issues were examined together in the study.\rThe study aims to evaluate both the Islamic constitutionalism claims and the claims that the Medina Document is a constitution and to determine whether the claims are in place without leaving the core of the subject. In this context, it is not an exaggerationto state that the study aims to bring a new breath to understanding the concepts of constitutionalism and constitution.
