description Namık Kemal is one of the most significant representatives of the Young Ottomans, the first opposition movement in Ottoman history. Just like his fellow intellectual contemporaries, his main concern was saving the Ottoman state from its downfall. When looking for solutions, he was influenced by Western thinkers and looked into government systems of Western states. He concluded that, contrary to Ibn Khaldun’s theory, states are not destined to collapse. As long as states are governed according to nature’s rules, they can last forever, and such government means compliance with the shariah. Namık Kemal not only made a connection between natural law and the shariah, but he also believed they were the same. According to Kemal, the shariah and natural law necessitate separation of powers, as demonstrated by the Shura principle in Islamic and Ottoman history. He argues that the decline of Ottomans is due to abandoning this government principle and assembling all power with the Bab-i Ali (the Sublime Porte). In order to save the Ottoman state, the parliamentary system must be instated, as necessitated by natural law. Namık Kemal believed that the salvation and the continuation of the state depend on the government system. Influenced by the Western government systems of his time, he developed a government system embracing the separation of powers which he believed would save the Ottoman state.
