Abstract

The paper analyses the concept of statehood among the Muslim thinkers in the pre and post-nation-state system. Among the pre-nation state system, the study analyses the writings of Al-Mawardi, Al-Farabi, Ibn-Rushd, and Ibn-e-Khuldun. To discuss the post-nation state system debate on the establishment of statehood, the analysis will focus on Syed Qutub, Syed Abul-Aala Moududi, and Syed Ali Shariati. The method used in this study is focused on the documentary analysis of secondary resources to discover the trends of conceptualising statehood among Muslim thinkers. The paper forms two parts. Part one will focus on the pre-nation state system idealisation of statehood and part two will examine the modern understanding of statehood in the post-nation state system era.
