Mufti Muhammad Shafi Uthmani's Political Thoughts an Exploration through Tafsir Maarif Al-Qur'an

Abstract

This article endeavors to elucidate the political ideology and perspectives of Mufti Muhammad Shafi Usmani, a prominent figure in the Pakistan Movement and a close associate of Quaid-e-Azam. As a key contributor to the formulation of Pakistan's legislation, particularly the Islamic provisions of the Resolution of Objectives, Mufti Usmani's thoughts on governance offer valuable insights into the intersection of Islam and democracy.

Given his affiliation with a religious institution that advocates for the Caliphate system, this article seeks to explore Mufti Usmani's opinions on the supreme authority of the state, constitutional frameworks, leadership roles, and government positions. Furthermore, it examines his views on the Caliphate and democratic systems, providing a nuanced understanding of his political philosophy.

This study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of Mufti Muhammad Shafi Usmani's political thoughts and their relevance to contemporary discussions of Islam, democracy, and governance by critically analyzing his literary works, including Maarif ul Quran.
