The political ideology of Islam.

The political awakening of Muslims in the Himalayan subcontinent brings with it many questions and complexities. The most important question was what will be the political system of Muslims in the future? It was and is the earnest desire of every Muslim that his social system should be based on Islamic ideals. But the greatest misfortune of Muslims in today's world is that they love Islam, but they do not have the correct idea of Islam. That is why they do not know how to survive on the basis of Islam even if they are ready to give their lives for Islam.

Understanding this state of mind of the Muslims, Maulana Maududi has presented the fundamentals of the Islamic way of life with a useful explanation. In this context, he read an article in October 1939 at the conference of the Inter-Collegiate Muslim Brotherhood in Lahore. Until then, Muslims have not been able to set a clear national goal for themselves. In his essay, Maulana informs the Muslim Ummah: What is the basis of Islamic State? What is the purpose of this state is established and its basic ideology.

Presented after reviewing the article on the front pages. In order to avoid reconsideration, that part of the article was omitted to discuss executive issues. This is because the discussion has been recorded in detail in the chapters that have been compiled by the respected author. -Compiler
The political ideology of Islam
You often hear about Islam, Islam is a democratic system "" Islam is a supporter of dictatorship,
Islam is the flag bearer of socialism, and so on and so forth.
Such words have been uttered over and over again since the end of the last century. But the words that are coming out of my mouth, I firmly believe that there is not one in a thousand who have studied the Islamic way of life properly and tried to understand the Islamic way of life. They did not even try to understand what is the nature and dignity of democracy in Islam, or what principles he laid down for social justice and political stability? Some of them have named Islam as democracy, dictatorship or socialism after seeing two or three external forms of the organizational structure of Islam.

And the mental state of most of them is to prove that what is generally accepted in the world [especially among the powers that be in the world of leadership and authority and those in power in their respective countries] is somehow present in Islam. Great service. Perhaps they think of Islam as that orphaned child, who can only be saved from destruction if he gets the patronage of any influential person. Or perhaps their idea is that our status as Muslims cannot be established, but that our dignity can be established only if we can show the world an established existence in our policy.

As a result of this humanism, when the smoke of socialism fell in the world, some people among the Muslims started shouting that socialism is only a new version of Islam. When the rule of dictatorship started, some other people saw the pattern of loyalty of the emir here and started saying that the whole organizational system of Islam is based on dictatorship.

In short, the political ideology of Islam today has become a mystery and a smokescreen. From here, things get trickier, and this is where the true heat comes in. What is the political ideology of Islam, in fact, needs to be properly analyzed. This will not only dispel the misconceptions that have spread around, but also the mouths of those who have recently publicly declared themselves and anonymously in writing that "Islam does not offer any political or social system at all." Rather, a beacon of light will be unveiled in front of the world that is drowning in darkness, for which the world today is in great need. However, he has lost the consciousness of this dependency today.

Sources of Islamic Politics: -
First of all, understand that Islam is not just a collection of scattered beliefs and practices, so that different kinds of opinions have been gathered from one side to the other. In fact, Islam is a harmonious and orderly way of life. It is based on certain ideals and principles. There is a logical connection between its ideals and principles, from the big pillars to the trivial ones. Islam is about all sections and different levels of human life.

The basic principles of the internal vitality and external structure of all the rules and regulations have been adopted from the norm.

From these ideals and principles, a complete Islamic way of life, including all its ancillary matters, can be formed in the same way that in the case of a tree, you can see from seed to root, from root to stem, from stem to branch and from branch to branch and leaf to leaf. Although the tree is extensively propagated, its distant leaf is closely related to the root system. Therefore, in order to understand any aspect and section of the Islamic way of life, it is necessary to look at its roots. Because its essence and essence cannot be understood at all.

The mission of the prophets
Almost all Muslims know two things about Islam. One is that the mission of all the prophets was Islam. This is not only the mission of Hazrat Muhammad (peace be upon him). Rather, all the prophets who have come from God from the oldest chapter of human history had the same mission. Secondly, all the prophets came to make people acknowledge the authority and dominion of the one God and to make them obey Him alone.

It is only natural for Muslims to have a clear idea of these two truths. Every Muslim will hear this and say, it is a known fact, even a rural Muslim knows it. But I want you to go deeper by opening the cover of this short word. The real thing is hidden behind this cover. Think carefully and think carefully, what is the purpose of acknowledging the sovereignty of Allah?

What is the meaning of enslavement to his obedience? And was it that when a servant of God [the Prophet] declared that "there is no god but Allah", all the ungodly forces began to pierce him like a poisonous thorn in the forest? If it were just like this, as it is thought nowadays to go to the mosque and prostrate before Allah and come out of the mosque and follow the unconditional obedience of the ruling government [no matter who is in power], there is no government that is so loyal to him. And interfere with the religious freedom of the subjects?

Let us analyze and see what was the point of contention between Allah and the other powers of the world about Allah? The Qur'an has made it clear in several places that none of the disbelievers who clashed with the polytheists was a denier of the existence of Allah. All of them believed in the existence of God. They acknowledged and believed that Allah was the Creator of the heavens and the earth and that He was the Creator of the disbelieving polytheists. The entire management of the world is managed by him. He sends down the rain.

The wind is moving according to his command. The moon, the sun, and the earth are all under His control. They will say, "To Allah." Tell me, why don't you think? Ask them, who owns the seven heavens and the great throne? They will say: Allah. You say, then why don't you fear him? Ask them, who is in charge of everything, who gives shelter to all, against whose will no one can give shelter to anyone, who is he, say, if you know! They will say: Allah. You say that you have been deceived.
