| Abstract | : | Shura is considered to be one of the most important Islamic constitutional principles. Islamic sources of the study of questions related to the governmental system in the Islamic state or modern Muslim state are almost in full agreement on the importance of shura and its precedence in matters of Islamic political principles. However, Islam does not prescribe the institutional form in which shura must occur, leaving it to the community to devise the best and fairest means as may suit the conditions of a particular time and place.This thesis is an attempt at investigating the concept of shura as a political representation in Islam, and to relate it to the needs of the modern age. They study is divided into nine chapters. In the first chapter, the researcher will take a look at the definition of shura literally and technically, the origin of shura, the necessity of shura, the subject of shura, and the historical development of shura as a political representation in the classical Islamic state. The second chapter of the thesisl examines political representation in Islam focussing on the shar'i precepts bearing on political representation in Islam and their legal rules. Additionally, this chapter discusses the delegation of authority of representation, the basis of representation, and mandate of representation. The third chapter examines the structure of a contemporary Islamic legislature. Here, the attention is primarily paid to the organization of a modern Islamic representative institution which would be Islamic in the full sense of the word and would also benefit from modern organizational and procedural techniques. Questions such as the eligibility for office, the qualification of members of majlis al-shura, the form of majlis al-shura, the term and size of office of Islamic legislature, and the eligibility of women and non-Muslims for the office of representation. The fourth chapter discusses the rules and procedures of election according to the shari'ah. focussing primarily on the subject of qualifications for'both voters and candidates; and the rules and procedures of political campaigns. The fifth chapter identifies the powers accorded to majlis al-shura by the shari'ah and how these powers could be exercised most effectively under contemporary conditions. The powers examined in this chapter include the Assembly's authority in the fields of legislation, finance, administration, foreign policy, and control of government. The sixth and the seventh chapters are case studies. In these chapters, the Pakistani majlis-e-shoora and the Malaysian Parliament are studied in order to determine its consistency with the constitutional requirements of the shari'ah thus outlined. Both the structure and the powers of the Pakistani majlis-e-shoora and the Malaysian Parliament are analyzed and evaluated. The eighth chapter deals with the comparative study of the shura system in the Province of Punjab and the state of Kelantan. The history and its political developments of each state were discussed. The structure of the Legislative Assembly of the states were also evaluated. The last chapter is the concluding chapter. Essentially, it is a summary of the singnificant ideas discussed in the preceeding chapters. |
