Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books If Islam Were To Be Established in Iraq Gradual Implementation The Messenger of Allah, Muhammad (S), implemented Islam in a gradual way even though Islamic Jurisprudence was complete. The noble Qur'an, in its entirety was first revealed to the Messenger of Allah on a single occasion and later verse-after-verse in accordance with the events of the day.

But if it was possible (for us) to implement Islam 'in one go', we should do so, and we may not resort to the gradual implementation carried out at the time of the Messenger of Allah (S).

The revelation was complete before the death of the Messenger of Allah, (S), as Allah the Almighty states: This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion.13 But I am of the opinion that the implementation must be gradual if an Islamic government were to be established in any country, since it would be impossible to do so otherwise given current circumstances.

It is therefore imperative to adopt a policy of gradual implementation where possible so that it does not bring about disorder in society, which could inadvertently result in destruction, harm and other difficulties. In any case, the possibility of implementation (of any aspect of Islam) must be studied on the basis of the principle of "priorities".

It is therefore incumbent upon the newly established Islamic government to create different committees consisting of Muslim jurists and experts of various fields to define the priorities in the process of implementation. This is to avoid any disturbance in the economy, politics, society, management and any other unwelcome outcome. The holy Qur'an, The Table Spread [^4]: 3.

For example, if it was decided to change the usury-based banking system to a system based on the Mudahrabah14 system, and the government announced the annulment of all kinds of interest at once - say in a week - one of two consequences could follow: Either the government would ban people from withdrawing their assets from banks in which case it will result in chaos and disorder and ultimately, the downfall of the government.

Such action is, of course, contrary to the principle "People have dominion over their wealth".15 Or the government would not ban the people from withdrawing their assets, in which case it would result in all the wealth and assets being drained from the country's banks.
