Abstract:

“ This Study is an effort to explore intensively the nature of the Islamic state
during the Era of prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his pious caliphs from
,Hijri :1 to Hijri : 40 .the original and complete thesis was more voluminous than
the recent one, the Original Manuscript consisted of three volumes including
2500 pages .so after discussion with supervisor and other advisors .

This study as suggested in the synopsis included one introduction, with five
chapters and single conclusion; on the other hand the complete manuscript
contains one voluminous introduction and four sub-chapters in the each chapter
of written manuscript.

So the decision was taken that the main introduction should be summarized
from the 250 pages to 15-20 pages, the Sub- introductions were also discarded
from the chapters two, four and five respectively.

Therefore applied and practical discourses regarding politics, state,


administration, Economics, law, Constitution and Welfare state has been
researched in depth.

The major difference between the other studies and This research is that the
present thesis is written by the political scientist, not by any historian and
religious scholar.

We see that Majority of Research Scholars, especially pertaining to social


sciences does not give importance to the quality of data(in Islamic frame
work),in reality they mostly rely over historical data with already self-created
dogmas and perceptions, data without any authenticity and narrators, and one
may find that if narrators are cited somewhere , no importance is given to the
fact that what is his/her status in term of “ the science of Biography (name and
records of narrators /Asma –ul-rajal)?

The truth, sincerity, level of memorization, character, piousness is not given


importance, continuance of chain of narrators is not deemed seriously, strong
narrations are replaced by weak narrations .So I tried my level best with my
limited resources to first give importance to the Quran and Sunnah as primary
sources. Traditions of the prophet (PBUH)) have been given prevalence over
traditional chainless historical sources.

I tried My level best to utilize authentic tradition’s (Ahadith-e-saheeha) and good


tradition (Ahadith-e-hasna) as a major reference in this study, its depend on the
availability of data pertaining to the discourse under my research Frame Work,
this study reflects that Islamic state is not an utopia or myth but in reality it not
only used to exist but also used to function .and it was so ultimate and perfect,
i

in term of reality, that she might be a role model for the present Muslim states
with their desire of establishing true Islamic state in their territories .

First This study not only presents broad and enhanced dimension of Islamic
State of early era of Islam, but also provides fountain of compilation of a
narration from the narrators, pertaining to politics and administration. in
term of theory and practice , second this study provides detailed narrated
information regarding Macroeconomics ,means of revenues ,policies and their
fair practical implementations.

Third the subchapters of law and constitution of respective era , not only
provides detailed information regarding sources of Islamic law and constitution
, but also they provide real insight regarding Islamic criminal law and legal
criminal decision taken by prophets (PBUH) and his pious caliphs (khulfa-e-
rashdeen) or their governmental judges.

Fourth the sub-chapters of welfare state in their respective era covers the
hypothesis that the Islamic state used to function as welfare state, it provides
narrations by narrators to validate the authenticity of data.

Fifth Study also differentiates itself from present modern welfare states, this
whole study covers the hypothesis that in Islam state is not mean itself but just a
mean to achieve destiny, sixth it focuses that there is no concept of separation of
religion from politics, in Islamic doctrine politics is an integrated part of the
Islamic system of practices.

Seven It also defines the hypothesis that Islam not only has his own conception
and system of human rights that is spiritual by nature of revelation , but also
Islam has his own doctrine of rights of Allah (huqooq _ul-allah ) and rights of
devotees ( huqooq –ul-ibad).

All the rights have been granted by Allah to human beings, conclusion covers
two hypotheses respectively, it differentiates the difference between the western
concept of human rights and Islamic concept of rights of god and rights of
devotees in light of Quran and Sunnah or western philosophy.

The conclusion is that Islamic state is neither a utopia nor a fable, in reality, it
used to exist, in the Real History Of the World ,and she functioned so perfectly
and accurately that it may be enforced in current situation by considering a state
of medina as a role model for present Muslim states.
