Islamic Social Contract

by Abdul Kundi

Overview

"Islamic Social Contract" ventures beyond being merely a religious doctrine, aiming to present a comprehensive way of life. Rooted in the Quran and the teachings of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), this book endeavors to construct a political framework derived from these foundational sources. It represents a proposal for the Muslim majority to contemplate and potentially embrace an alternative to the prevalent Western secular democracy.

In offering an Islamic constitution, the book tackles certain deficiencies within the Western model. It strives to address these gaps by integrating principles from Islamic teachings, thereby presenting an alternative political structure that draws from the inherent strengths and values of the Islamic tradition.
