Averroes is a great statesman and also a great Islamic philosopher. His ideas penetrated the Western world more than the Islamic world and were influential in the beginning of the Renaissance in Europe. After Ibn Rushd's death, the Islamic world stagnated intellectually and scientifically and soon fell behind the Western world. However, despite all this, the reasons for this decline in the Islamic world from past to present have not been truly analyzed and the ideas and works of a thinker like Averroes, which are scientific prescriptions, have not been given the value they deserve. Today, however, his ideas and works have not lost their value; on the contrary, they have become even more important for the Islamic world, which is writhing in difficult and complex social, political and administrative problems. Therefore, this study has been written in order to take a look at the political and administrative problems of the Islamic world from the perspective of Ibn Rushd and to bring his proposed solutions to these problems to the academic agenda. In this framework, the information compiled from national and international sources is discussed under three main headings: "Averroes' Life and Works", "Averroes' Scientific Approach", and "Averroes' Political and Administrative Thought". Within the scope of the study, first of all, it was concluded that it is necessary to create an awareness for the rediscovery of Averroes' ideas on politics and administration in the Islamic world. In addition to this basic finding, evaluations and suggestions about the eleven findings obtained are also explained in the Conclusion section.
