Elucidate the difficulties in establishment of an Islamic order
Through AllamaIqbal’s writings and views of Quaid-i-Azam explain their conceptual understanding about the Islamic state. Do you agree that their vision found some place while explaining the constitutional developments throughout the case of Pakistan’s political history? Islamic ideology has failed to produce an Islamic pakistan . Elucidate Quaid, too, like Iqbal believed that the Quran could be a complete source of inspiration for the Muslims to help them guide their life according to the true spirit of Islam. However, the Quran was to be interpreted rationally and scientifically which could only be done by the scholars, jurists and enlightened moderates. The Quaid distinctly differentiated between an Islamic social democracy and the theocracy and stated categorically that Pakistan would not be a theocratic state where the lives of the people would be entrusted to a few ‘custodians’ of religion who could impose their own brand of Islam on the masses This is what Pakistan was created for - a country to be ruled in accordance with the Islamic injunctions for the amelioration of the economically and socially down- trodden Muslims of pre-partition India, and not to save Islam or impose Islam of a specific brand and breed, embroiling the masses in trivialities such as, how long should one’s beard be, or at what height the paincha of the shalwar should be, or could a woman work in an office along with male workers? Islam is much above such petty matters. And the Quaid wanted Islam of all ages, an Islam interpreted in the light of the modern, scientific and technological age. An Islam emancipating the masses and opening to them vistas of the modern and fruitful advancement they could make use of and play their important role in the comity of nations Iqbal leaned heavily upon Ijma – collective opinion. Ijma not necessarily by the Ulema, the scholars and the jurists alone but also by the common people, albeit masters of their subjects and fields. It is simply not possible for an Aalim-e-Deen [mostly a scholar from a madrassah] to be able to interpret and apply the all encompassing Quranic injunctions to the present day highly developed scientific and technological knowledge Had the Pakistan movement had any religious overtones, why would almost all Ulema oppose it, or call its leader Kafir-e-Azam? It is yet another matter that most of them chose to stay behind and did not migrate to the ‘Land of the Pure’ till after quite some time after its inception, till they found the opportune time to do so. The potent power of the pulpit was used methodically to project the partition as a war between Kufr and Islam. Had Jinnah's ideals been held sacred, his speech of August 11, 1947 should have received the status of our Magna Carta After the early demise of charismatic leadership no leader came to the fore who could have understood the real islamic vision of Quaid and Iqbal and then unite the nation to implement the same vision of islamic social democracy.To be sure upcoming leaders were either slave to their whimsical desires or too afraid to face the domestic opposition. Moreover the unsatble condition of the country never allowed leaders to overhaul the political social and econmic system and alighn with the ideals of Iqbal and Quaid. In constitution the Vision of Iqbal and Quaid found some place but never implemeted practiaclly.True islamic ideology was never implemented so we cant complain that ideology didn’t produce islamic Pakisatan.Moreover owing to continous neglect and misgovernace of our leaders the Ethno-linguistice identity trumpped the religious identity.
