The term 'Political Islam' combines 'political', derived from the Greek 'politikos', meaning 'of, for, or relating to citizens', and 'Islam', which comes from Arabic 'إسلام' (islām), meaning 'submission' or 'surrender' to God. The phrase emerged in the late 20th century to describe movements that seek to implement Islamic principles in political governance.
