Does a True Islamic Society exist? |
Political Issues
Question asked by .
Answered by Dr Khalid Zaheer |

Question: Is there any state in the world which is a true Muslim
state, following only the Laws of Islam? If yes, please name it. If no, then how
can we tell the non-Muslims what our society, culture and laws are, and where
they can be witnessed?

| Answer: Your question suggests that Islamic invitation to
non-believers presupposes an ideal Islamic State to convince its addressees. The
truth is that although a good Islamic environment is always helpful in
convincing many people, it is not an essential precondition for delivering the
message. Islamic message is first and foremost based on its beliefs and ethical
guidelines. There are fundamental questions about life which every human being
no matter wherever he/she lives wants to get answers to. The Islamic message
addresses those questions more than anything else. In addition, we do need to
have certain norms which are to be followed if the basic presentation of Islam
is accepted. Some of those norms are applicable to our individual life and some
to our collective life. A non-Muslim is certainly more likely to be attracted
towards the Islamic message if there are good examples around, both individual
as well as collective. However, the message itself is not dependant upon these
examples for its authentication. However, given the fact that we know that God
Almighty would take into account the circumstances of an individual while
deciding about his/her fate in the Hereafter, in case of those who received the
message of Islam in an environment where no good examples were available, He is
likely to treat such cases more leniently.
