Drawing on his tow decades of research across the breath of the literature available in Arabic, Urdu and English languages, the author explores the development and works out the feasibility of the democratic Islamic polity institutionalized in Islamic Shura which was successfully implemented and strengthened by the Holy Prophet of Islam and his rightly-guided caliphs in the golden period of history and which is still updated, relevant and remarkable and calls upon the Muslim and the non-Muslim world as well to experience it gracefully. Islamic Shura, as discussed in this timely and carefully researched work, represents a highly democratic set up of politics and governance in Islam. The book examines most of the classical political thinkers and modern Muslim intellectuals and activities on the theme of Islam and democracy and portrays a humane democratic Islamic political system based on Shura. It also compares it critically with the modern executives of the world and traces honestly an Islamic system of government based on popular consent and democracy which is most liberal and wholeheartedly welcoming to other cultures and religions, in its own paradigm. The book also emphasizes on the emergent need to reformulate the democratic Islam in the light of the two permanent sources of Islam–Qur’an and Sunnah–copping with the contemporary world.
