Offering insight into the Islamic perspective, this volume covers
two subjects that have never before been discussed as separate
topics in Islamic jurisprudence--citizenship and the accountability
of government. Tracing the origins of the two concepts in the
Qur'an, the Sunnah of the Prophet, and the practice of the first
four caliphs, it follows their integration under different branches
and explores the rights and obligations of Muslims in Islamic law,
applying these to the modern world. Topics include: the definitions
of citizenship; the rights of citizens; the duties of citizens;
citizenship laws; the concepts of dar al-Islam (abode of Islam),
dar al-harb (abode of war) and the dar al-'ahd (abode of treaty);
the ummah and the nation-state; government as a trust; the
selection of officials; the relationship between authority and
citizens; corruption and the misuse of public funds; despotism and
dynastic misrule; the right of complaint; the limits of obedience;
impeachment of officials and heads of state; and the foundation of
institutions of accountability.
