Intikhabat aur Islami Nizam - Elections and Islamic System - Dr Israr Ahmad

Dr. Israr Ahmad argues that establishing an Islamic system requires revolution, not merely elections. He clarifies that while elections are necessary for *governing* after a revolutionary change, they cannot *bring about* the Islamic system itself. He emphasizes drawing principles from the Quran, Sunnah, and the era of the Rightly Guided Caliphs to formulate an indigenous system of governance, rejecting the imposition of foreign constitutions. He posits a maturity age of forty years for full civic participation, based on his interpretation of Islamic texts, and stresses the importance of adhering to principles derived from Islamic sources rather than imitating Western models. Elections, he contends, are unavoidable for running a government once the system is established, but the method of implementation should be uniquely Islamic.
