The perennial objective of the Islamic movement is to strive to make each single individual an ideal human being. Each individual has to be urged to become an example of the ‘sublime character’ as projected

(68:4). So far as the ideal society or the ideal state is concerned, it is in no way a direct goal of Islam. Society and the State are not in themselves independent entities, each being dependent on the mettle

(Mishkat al-Masabih, 11/1097). If the establishment of an ideal State were the actual target of Islam, there should, accordingly, be express injunctions to this effect in the Quran and hadith. For instance

is its practical aspect, being at the basis of a normal environment in which Islam’s ideological and practical teachings may come into play. When we study the Quran, we find that the Quran’s greatest concern

preparing for the Hereafter is a goal. As such, the focus of those who come under the influence of Islamic ideology shifts wholly to the Hereafter and Paradise. Consequently, it is but natural that all those

the political interpretation of Islam. This interpretation gave the wrong idea to Muslims that they could fully practice Islam only when they enforced all the laws of Islam. A result of this political mentality
