    The basic principles of social life provided by the Qur'an and Sunnah have no direct relationship with the system of government. First 4 Khalifs, pledge of loyalty, not direct election, not parliamentary or representation, Khalif closer to King than President Kingdoms Prophet Muhammad did not change

    Ideas continued

    Islam is centered around the belief in one deity and thus an Islamic-centric government will be built around that principle Islam does not provide detailed advice on how to manage affairs of State

    Faith in One God Belief in the existence of nature's/Allah's law which is unchanging Equality
