"Muslims have to fight misconceptions about Islam": India's Saudi envoy

[pagans]

Read the life pattern of Holy Prophet PBUH. JUSTICE ..JUSTICE..JUSTICE AND absolute JUSTICE...that's about it. Now its up to you how you define justice. For that you need to study the life pattern of Holy Prophet.

Muhammad ruled Arabia like a king, so kingship is OK in Islam.

Its the same story in the UAE, the locals get paid to get married and have children!

I wish India had loads of oil and gas, some people have it so easy.

Have compassion for Arabs. For days since eternity they lived like lizards in desert until the oil boom. How long it will last ?. A maximum 100 years ! .After that..........have you ever thought what will happen to Arabia when oil is over.......everything is over...Subcontinent has the largest cultivable/cultivated area on earth...nothing beats the producing power of Mother India..No need for polluting oil. Soon technologies for generating power from sun will be developed.

what are you talking about??

Muhammad was the caliph of whole of Arabia. He had absolute control on everything like a king. So he was the king of Arabia. This a matter of pride for Muslims,nothing to be ashamed.

Mr Pagan there is no concept of hierarchy viz a viz ruling a state in Islam.

There are some traits which are must for choosing a ruler according to Islam.

Prophet (PBUH) was not a king. The areas under Muslims were distributed into administrative units and ruled by different administrators who were accountable to the court of justice, Qazis (judges). All the administrative things were decided by these admins.
Even the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was accountable to the judges

You need to understand the concept of caliph to understand the administrative set up in the era of Prophet (SAW) .

In a Kingdom or kingship, the rule is automatically transferred to the kins whereas Caliphat, Khilafat its not the methods.

The next caliph is selected through mutual understanding keeping in view the characteristics of the person. (That was the original method) and what we see today in Saudi Arabia or even so-called democracy that is just a family business.

Anyway for implementing Islamic system of governance, we first needs a welfare state and no Muslim country currently is a welfare state.
