TEHRAN, YJC. Denver Professor says that the Quran emphasizes the establishment of government for upholding equalitarian social rule.
Liyakat Takim, professor of Islamic Studies at Denver
University and Sharjah Chair in Global Islam at McMaster University in
Hamilton, Canada addressed the question whether the establishment of an Islamic
government is discernible from the holy Quran or the Prophet’s tradition,
saying "The Quran has mentioned the basics of no governmental system in
details.”
"The Quran stresses the necessity and goals for the
establishment of a government,” he asserted.
The author of Shi’ism in America stated "The goal for
the establishment of a government is being mentioned in the Quran as the
prevalence of social equalitarian rule.”
Takim added "What we see as different types of government is
the result of the experiments Muslims have had through history.”
He also said "The necessity and goals for the establishment
of a government are emphasized in the Quran.”
