Rights of the State in the light of Islamic Teachings

Abstract

The purpose of this research paper is to describe "Rights of the State, in the light of the state of Medina. Actually, in Islam, Rights of the state depends on enjoining good and forbidding evil. It does not take strength/power to command well, but it takes strength/power to prevent evil. And its establishment was a part of the official duties of prophet-hood for which Muhammad (SAW) had devoted all his energies. The Charter of Medina was implemented for this purpose; opposition from the enemy eventually forced him to defend himself by being imprisoned inside Medina. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) also missed four prayers while defending the state. He also deported three jewish tribes for violating the Medina Charter. External forces also played a role in the deterioration of the Islamic states’s internal affairs. These were also remedied by Muhammad (SAW) and his Caliphates from time to time.
