Society and the System of Islam There is no doubt that Islam has its own particular system for governance and for managing the affair of society, just as there is also no doubt that this particular Islamic system was working, whether when fully or partially implemented, for thirteen centuries until Islamic government fell more than half a century ago.

One also hears that the Islamic civilization was an exemplary one to the greatest extent, and that through its just divine laws Islam guarantees to solve the world’s problems, and if it is brought back to governance the world will become Paradise and the people will live therein in utopia, comfort, happy, and bliss. So what is that system? Is it possible for the Islamic system to come back to life during the space and nuclear age, and during the internet and communication revolution?
