اسلامی ریاست کا اوّلین سیاسی منظر نامہ اور اس کے مبادی اُصول

Abstract

Though the initial conception of an Islamic state begins with the life of the Prophet (PBUH) in Mecca, yet its formal structure surfaced in Medina. In Mecca, the Prophet’s (PBUH) wide-ranging communication endeavors showcase the society reflecting the basic concept of an Islamic state. The overarching principles, concepts, and views show that the Prophet (PBUH) wanted a society which could allow masses to live their lives as per the divine principles, teachings, and guidance. Likewise, the first communications of the Prophet (PBUH) in Mecca portray some basic and fundamental steps towards the establishment of an Islamic state. For instance, the Prophet (PBUH) mentioned that He was the messenger of God, He was the warner, and was sent by God to invite the masses towards a religion that claimed the predominant welfare of the humanity. Nevertheless, one may not consider the Meccan life of the Prophet (PBUH) providing the fundamental structure of a state because the contemporary conditions of Mecca at that time were not favorable for the Prophet (PBUH). For instance, the Prophet (PBUH) was being tortured and was forced to stop preaching of Islam. He (PBUH) was stranded in the She’eb-Abi-Talib for three years and was also forced to migrate three times. This means that even after the proclamations of the basic principles, concepts, and teachings, Islamic state could not establish its roots in the Meccan society and thus the fundamental picture of the state surfaced in the Medinan society. In this paper, the authors discuss the initial political scenarios of the Islamic state in terms of where and how it surfaced. While discussing the unique political scenarios of Mecca and Medina, the author’s claim that Medinan society was infect the initial foundation or birthplace of an Islamic state.
