جدید مسلم ریاست کے بنیادی خدوخال میں رواداری اور عدم برداشت (سیرت البنیﷺ کی روشنی میں)

Abstract

According to Muslim philosophy, state is next important than Islamic ideology (Shariah). Islam claims two things human independence and dominancy of right. But these two things create clash. Independent person wants to dominate its ideas. For this purpose, one may adopt one of the two behaviors tolerance or intolerance. Tolerance is the behavior of independent, good natured, conscious and intellectuals while intolerance is vice versa.

In modern Muslim states there is a gap between Islamic teachings and facts. Time and gradual struggle is required for complete change. This situation created clash between Conservative and modern Islamic groups. This clash may harm Muslims and Modern Muslim states. The only solution of internal and external problems of Modern Muslim states is tolerance which is the important characteristic of Seerat Al-Nabiﷺ.

Basic values, training institutes, establishment, economic affairs and affairs of minorities are important in the structure of state. But the soul of all the departments of Modern Islamic state is tolerance. Tribal, territorial, linguistic pride and prejudice unstabilizes the Muslim state. Extremism and terrorism is the behavior of intolerance. Tolerance with minorities stabilized the Muslim state. Obedience of ruler is very important in Islam. The ruler may be good or bad, his obedience is in good things are allowed in Islam.

Internal problems are of economical, social, educational, political, constitutional, personal, tribal and territorial etc. West civilization and education are also creating clash between Islamic and modern communites. The solution is in Seerat Al-Nabiﷺ.It is required to teach and act upon Seerat Al-Nabiﷺ on educational and social level.

Modern Islamic states are also facing international problems. The Madina state provides guideline for Modern Muslim states in solving national and international problem.
