Other strategies are not more than branches or forms of that ideal, which can be extended or acclimatized according to remoteness or closeness to the original. B. the Islamic Political System The Islamic political system is that applied by the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) during his divine solicitation for organizing relations with his followers.

As this solicitation was developed into a government, the Prophet applied the same system during his leadership which lasted for ten years. God perfected the religion and completed His grace upon people and explicated absolutely everything before the Prophet's decease. By extrapolating this system, it is believable to describe it as a divine system that is prepared and formulated to be the ideal international system leading to an ideal world.

It is indeed divine in its ideal form and ultimate composition. C. Pillars of the Islamic Political System The Islamic political system is based upon four pillars connected to each other in such a way that any is impossibly separated from the others. In case any separation occurs, the system entirely loses its Islamic characteristics. This is by the reason that these pillars are the distinguishing feature of the system.

Perfection of such pillars is the only method by which fruits of application of the system are given. 1st Pillar — Political Leadership As a matter of fact, political leadership in every divine doctrine, among which is Islam, is nominated or elected directly by God. Applied to this fact is the prophets David, Solomon and Mohammed. It was none but God, the Elevated, who selected them as prophets and presidents of states of God's oneness. This divine decision is notified directly or indirectly.

An instance on the indirect notification of God's selection is Saul, when elected as the Israelites’ political leader. One of the Israelite prophets declared God's decision of electing Saul as the assigned king. They protested claiming that Saul had not been fit enough for such a position. God revealed the many reasons owing to which this man was elected. Among these was Saul's superlative objective and physical competence.

In addition, preference is God's concern; he, the Elevated, does know to whom He should give. Another example — on the indirect notification of God's selection — is God's nominating Ali­bn­Abi­Talib as the successor of Mohammed, the leader of the nation.
