 By Imam Muhammad Shirazi. Praise be to Allah, may peace and blessings of Allah be up on Prophet Muhammad and his family, and may Allah condemn their enemies. There is no doubt that Islam has its own particular system and there also is no doubt that the Islamic system was working,. Whether when fully or partially implemented, for thirteen centuries until its downfall about half a century ago. One also hears that the Islamic civilization was an exemplary one to a great degree, and that the Islamic System has sufficient solutions to world problems and if is brought back the world will become Paradise. Then what is that system? Is it possible for an Islamic system to come back to life during the space and nuclear age? And how it would solve the problems if it did really took charge of the running of the affairs (of a state)? These are questions worth answering . . . The Answers that will be given to such question in this book may astonish the reader and he might think that we are talking of some Utopian city. The author is ready to meet the challenge of giving such answers and to present proofs and evidences according to the teaching of Islam for such answers, and he would prove that it is quite possible for the Islamic system to come back to life. The author has written several books on this topic, both brief and detailed works and this discourse is a brief presentation in this respect.[1] --------------------------------- [1] For more details on the author's work in this particular field, see "If Islam were to be established", "Islamic system of government", "Single Universal Islamic Government", "Government in Islam, al-Fiqh series, vol. 99", "The Islamic Government, al-Fiqh series, volumes 101-102", "Politics, al-Fiqh series, volumes 105-106", "Economics, al-Fiqh series, volumes 107-108", etc. |
