In an Islamic society the concept of religious hierarchy is unthinkable. In it the decisions
regarding state affairs are called the 'Sharia' laws and their enforcement shall be the function
of the government officials. That is what is named as to enjoin what is lawful and forbid what
is 'unlawful' (as laid down in the Book of Allah). These injunctions shall comprise the entire
aspects of human life. The differentiation between religion and politics and between Deen and
worldly affairs is an entirely un-Islamic concept; the consideration of public laws and
personal laws as separate from one another is a creation of secular regimes. The Quranic
Laws and Values shall encompass aspects of human life _ whether personal or public. These
laws and values shall be taught in the government educational institutions; and the literature
based on them shall be publicised amongst the people. Thus in an Islamic State there shall be
no separate existence of religious institutions, nor a separate group of 'religious Ulama'. In
Islam there is NO dichotomy of 'Deeni' and 'secular' affairs. Every single aspect of life is
governed by Deen.
