The Ideal Muslim Society: As Defined in the Qur'an and Sunnah

In a world plagued with wars, racism, political turmoil, economic downturns, and social anguish, many people are looking for an alternative in which justice, freedom, decency, and common sense will prevail. Such societies have existed in the past, in the golden eras of Islamic civilization, and we have the hope that, if Allah wills, such a society may appear again.

In the Ideal Muslim Society, Dr. Muhammad 'Ali al-Hashimi gives us a detailed picture of what this society would look like. Drawing on the extensive research of Islamic History and contrasting the ideal with the sorry state affairs in human societies today, he explores the religious, political, economic, social, and other facets of this ideal society, illustrating everything from the responsibilities of those in authority to the interactions between individuals on the humblest levels.

For those who are longing to see a better world, this book offers practical ideas and hope.
