Harmonisation of religion and state


Islam aims to build the whole man and does not leave politics to so-called secular Rulers.

AS Islam does not involve itself in the dichotomy between the sacred and the profane, it simply cannot set in contrast the theocratic state with the secular state. Such dichotomy between the sacred and the profane leads to the separation between “otherworldliness” and “secularity”, with the former world deemed higher or holier than the profane, secular one in which we are now living.
