Since the demise of the Ottoman Caliphate, the Muslim world has moved from one crisis to another. The parlous state of the ummah is now the subject of many discussions and numerous Islamic groups have attempted to find the magic formula to reverse this decline. Invariably and correctly, the subject of a return to Islamic governance has become a rallying call for many that seek to return to a place where the ummah was a leading one.
Yet recently, the rise of ISIS and the return to the Taliban government has given us two very different yet for some, very troubling models of how a shariah ruled state should run. Beyond these examples, contemporary Islamic study on the topic either negates well-known Islamic precedents found in our tradition or offers models of authoritarianism where a caliph has the control over all and is one step away from repression.
Today we have brought together two Islamic thinkers and scholars that have been working for some time on rethinking Islamic governance. Ustadh Iyad Hilal is no stranger to this show, he runs the al-Arqam Academy in California and is a regular imam and khateeb at Masajids across his state. Kamal Hussein is a lecturer and legal expert who recently delivered a paper to academics and scholars on ‘al Sultan-al Ummah’ the authority of the Ummah, he argues that this Islamic principle has been lost over time, with many theorists viewing the role of the people as no more than passive citizens in a caliphate structure.

The prescribed punishments of hudud have multiple functions: justice for the victims and society, expiation for the convicted perpetrator, restore balance in the sphere of metaphysical bonds, uphold the supremacy of the Word of Allah, limit the burden/cost to the society.

Everything that was described was just the premise of democracy that people employ the prime public servant. Where does Islamic governance differ from democracy.

@Saber23 Год назад

Literally everywhere you filthy modernists Islam is NOT representative democracy and it is NOT secular

Sovereignty belongs to Allah, not people. In democracy it is people by definition or doctrine, and in reality only some powerful influential people go to power or control it, and manipulate to serve their own interests first, naturally.

@@TheUnknownMAS That may be the conceptual difference. But what's the practical difference. It sounds completely like democracy.

Democracy is the practical system whereby people can have a say in governance and decisions on policy. Sometimes the rich have more of a say and sometimes the poor eg. the Brexit vote that was opposed by the rich in the UK but still passed as the poor did not feel they benefitted from being in the EU. In an Islamic system, unelected Scholars of the state would have the final say on governance and policy by interpreting if it was in line with Quran, Hadith, Ijma etc eg. in Iran how hijab is forced on women.

@@ankhmorpok1497 The Khalifah is still elected. And then he may assign other unelected officials. Same as democracy. The prime minister is determined by elections and then he may decide his unelected cabinet ministers.
