In the context of political aspects of the religion of Islam, political quietism has been used to refer to the religiously-motivated withdrawal from political affairs or skepticism that mere mortals can establish a true Islamic government. It is the opposite of political Islam, which holds that the Islamic religion and politics are inseparable, and Muslims should be fighting to establish true Islamic government.
It has also been used to describe Muslims who believe that it is "forbidden to rebel against a [Muslim] ruler",[1][2] or even become involved in political factions, as this would cause disunity in the community; but that at the right time in the future, when (depending on the sect of Muslim), a consensus of Islamic scholars (in Sunni Islam),[3] or the twelfth imam (in Twelver Shia Islam) call for it,[4] all Muslims should support a true Islamic government. (The Sunnis of Saudi Arabia[5] and Salafis[3][6][7] are sometimes described as having "quietist" and "radical" wings.)[8]
