Summary/Abstract: Aim of this study is to research and explore relation of religion and politics from aspect of Islam and secularism. General opinion, among the elite and common people, is that these two social categories are exclusive and impossible to integrate into one mechanism - society, in which they would act mutually and provide positive results and useful conclusions. After thorough research, study has proven that conventional vision of relation between subject social categories is superficial and incorrect, and that the opposite thesis is correct. Study concludes that Islam and politics are inseparable social dimensions, because it is impossible to live Islam without politics, and to implement and support correct politics without the true religion.
