Abstract

Imperial ideology and practice under Abdul Hamid II marked the return of the religious factor: the revival of the Caliphate and the concept of Islamic solidarity. During the reign of Abdul Hamid II “Scenario of power” of the secular and cosmopolitan empire turned into a national-religious myth. Sultan’s reign concept maintained and transformed the dynamic combination of the spiritual and secular elements. The idea of the extraterritoriality of spiritual power has become an essential component of the official ideology of Pan-Islamism.
