Islam basically is religion of
peace, compassion and justice. There are enough verses in the Qura?n
to prove this. Violence is allowed only for defence, never for
aggression. Moreover, it is incidental, not ideological. In
principle, it is peace and it is duty of all Muslims to promote and
establish peace.
This book, it is hoped, would help generate a fresh debate on
this sensitive subject in a much more informed manner. Also those
Muslims who desire to establish Islamic state should know that the
Qur?an does not refer to any such concept. It only desires to
establish a just society free of injustices, exploitation and
oppression whatever form the state takes. What is called
khilafat-e-rashidah was also based on historical context. The form
today Islamic state takes will depend on today?s context. There is
no standard from available to emulate. This is precisely what this
book says.
