Comparative Study of Legal Between Islamic Universalism in Classic and Modern Civilizations

Abstract

Islamic civilization has experienced several periods, where in each period it always shows the values of Islamic universalism in various aspects of life which can be a lesson for Muslims in the current era of globalization. The principles of government developed by the Prophet were based on verses of the Qur’an such as the principle of equality (Al-Musâwa), the principle of independence (Al-Hurriyyah), the principle of plurality (Taaddudiyah). These principles were later developed to become the principles of nation and state that we know today. The universalism of this principle can not only be developed in Islamic countries but also non-Muslim countries.
