Sadiq Malik msadiqiub@gmail.com <p>The religion of Islam supports the fulfillment of all the needs of both the soul and the body of man. While Islam nurtures the soul through morality, it creates a complete and comprehensive system of social welfare, which guarantees the fulfillment of individual and collective needs. This is the reason that the first human beings were sent as the caliphs and guardians of Allah for the sake of reforming every corruption that arose in the world, and the sending of prophets continued to carry on the task of correcting every corruption that arose gradually, which ended with the great reformer, Muhammad (ﷺ). He (ﷺ) reformed such a society that was unfamiliar with civilization and human right, the world is unable to set an example of this until the Day of Judgment. In the present era, taking into consideration these principles and reforms, the formation of the state is necessary in this way so that the dream of a real welfare state can be fulfilled.</p> 2024-05-15T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Dr. M.
