The System of State and Government: in the Light of Uswa Hasna

Abstract

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) paid attention to the civilization and reform of the society before establishing the state and government. For this purpose, he first created the intellectual foundations of the believers with useful knowledge, firm faith, and adorned their attitudes and characters with noble morals. He (ﷺ) established the Islamic society on three foundations: 1. Beneficial knowledge, 2. Firm faith and 3. Moral virtue. These three are the basic guiding principles that not only create peace and moderation in human society but also help a lot in the evolutionary stages of society. The entire life of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) before prophethood is a teacher of morals. The moral life of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was so impressive, no one had any doubts about his highest position of the noble morals, it makes the practical life of the Prophet (ﷺ) an ideal example for all. After attaining the office of Prophethood, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), continued to teach and train the people about the three guiding principles mentioned above for about thirteen years.
