Amin Ahsan Islahi (1904-1997) a renowned Pakistani scholar, author
of nine-volume commentary on the Holy Qur'an, Tadabbur-e Qu'ran
(Urdu), addresses fundamental questions on the Islamic political
system. After a brief introduction to the concept of khilafah in
Islam and a description of differences between the Islamic State
and the conventional states, Islahi explains the basic principles
of the Islamic State. He details conspicuous characteristics of the
nation founded on Islam and explains the rights of Muslim and
non-Muslim citizens of the state. He concludes his discussion on a
detailed analysis of the duties and obligations of the rulers and
the state officials in Islam. Islahi maintains that the traditional
understanding of the rights of the non-Muslim citizens in the
Islamic State, the so-called dhimmis, in erroneous. He believes
that the Islamic State is not required by the divine law to subject
all the non-Muslims to the payment of jizyah. Islahi's thoughts in
this book represent the views of a great majority of the learned
Pakistani Muslims regarding the Islamic Khilafah.
