ABSTRACT
The preceding chapters have shown democracy in the conscience and soul of Islam and that Islam is an ideal system of life providing a social system of liberty, equality and fraternity for all humankind, and not as a system in which a few share wealth and freedom among themselves to control the rest better. These chapters have also shown Islam to be a system of government by which Islamic ideals could be rightfully approached to create the political climate for which some rights, at least, of public discussion concerning public policy could take place and the ordinary people could have control over their rulers and agents. They made clear that Islam is not merely a religion but a complete code for human life combining the spiritual and worldly affairs and seeking to regulate, not only the individual’s relationship with God, but also all affairs and relationships of humankind. What also became visible, as a matter constant to Islam and its philosophy, is the exact relationship between Islamic Law and human reason.
