Akram Virk — 2024-12-30

In Muslim countries, particularly Pakistan, determining which political system—be it a theocracy, Caliphate, democracy, dictatorship, or monarchy—best aligns with Islamic teachings, and who should lead such a state, remains a challenge. Over time, various political theories from Muslim scholars have been proposed, but these have consistently been rejected by the people of Pakistan in elections, including the 2024 general elections. This ongoing rejection of religious political parties has raised concerns among Islamic intellectuals and scholars about the path these parties should follow to regain their place, as the public continues to seek an Islamic state and the implementation of Islamic law.

This article suggests that religious political parties can find guidance in the theory of Sheikh Ahmad Sirhindi. His methodology, which emphasizes the creation of a state based on principles rather than religious elites, offers a possible solution. The core of his teachings is that a religious scholar can contribute to the establishment of a better government without seeking personal political power. Key elements of his approach include the training of government officials, focusing on serving the people, addressing contemporary issues, and preparing a broad base of individuals for governance.
