Hassan al-Turabi is one of the key contemporary Islamic political thinkers and the initiator of Sudanese Islamism. The period of his political activity is also one of the most important moments in the history of Sudan, related to the process of Islamization of the country, rapid changes in the Sudanese political scene in connection with the influence of Muslim fundamentalism, mainly in the version of the Muslim Brotherhood. The article presents the influence of Islamist ideology on the shaping of the concept of the Islamic state and Islamic order in Sudan under the leadership of al-Turabi and leading political formations led by him, mainly the National Islamic Front (NIF). It presents also elements that shaped this specific form of Islamism – apart from the rapid changes in the structures of the highest power of the country, it was also Sufi influences, elements of pre-Muslim culture, and the more radical ones derived from Salafism, on which the worldview and beliefs of al-Turabi were shaped.
