Muahda e umrani

1. Syed Ammar Bukhari
The prevailing social contract, vesting political power in the legislative, judicial and
executive branches of government, evolved with the Industrial Culture which had developed in the
nineteenth century. However, this arrangement has been unable to cope with the phenomenal speed
of change witnessed subsequently, especially in the later half of the twentieth century. Accordingly,
mankind is expected, in the 21st Century, to come up with a new (political) power sharing
arrangement which is compatible with the recently-unfolded IT Culture.
It is, therefore, proposed that a five-branch (Commerce, Defence, Education,
Executive and Judicial) broad-based democratic dispensation be adopted by every nation/country
aspiring to global leadership in the twenty first century. It goes without saying that such a system of
government is likely, in conformance with the observable phenomena of Nature, to generate a fresh
social contract not only for ensuring the growth and happiness of all individuals/citizens, groups,
institutions and tiers/levels of government but also for evolving a strong welfare state to zealously
safeguard the rights of all human beings.
What is needed for the modern world, thus, is the Islamic Caliphate model upgraded,
with the evolution, to date, of time and space, into four elected institutions of Commerce, Defence,
Education and Justice and the election, there from, of the Executive inured to the greatest happiness
of the greatest number.
"My knowledge is confined to that which Allah has taught me and I profess no secret,
whether spoken, voiced or uttered. While the magnificence, if any, in my work/Ideas comes from
Allah, the mistake, if any, in my effort constitutes human error and is entirely mine."
