Following is a summary form of proposed changes which we should like to bring in the political system of Pakistan:  
     1. It should be clearly written in the constitution that the Qur’an and Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (sws) constitute the higher law of the State and that the constitution and the parliament shall alway be subservient to them.  
     2. A group of scholars, selected directly by voting in the Parliament, should help it in the interpretation of religion.  
     3. There should be a general consensus on the fact that religion is only that which has been documented in the Qur’an and Sunnah and they are the ultimate sources of religion. Only those people who agree with this should help in the interpretation.  
     4. It should be proclaimed that enforcement of Tawhid, refutation of Shirk, establisment of Salah and Zakah, enjoining good and forbidding evil -- all these should constitute the goals towards which the State and its leaders should strive.  
     5. Another agency as the army and police should be set up with legal rights to propagate good and eradicate evil from the society. It should work diligently within the limits set for it.  
     6. The people given the responsibility of handling the affairs of the state should be those who establish regular prayers and pay their due share of zakah to the Bayt-al-mal (national exchequer). And only those people should be selected for the Parliament and leadership who are superior in knowledge, piety and insight.  
     7. It should be made compulsory for those in authority not to exceed the standard of living of a common man.  
     8. (a) The centre of every administrative unit should be its Jam‘ah Mosque and the division of the administrative unit should be such that its mosque should be able to cater for the population of that unit.  
     (b) The administrative offices and courts of this unit should be linked with the Jam‘ah Mosque of that area.  
     (c)  A mosque in the administrative capital and one in every provincial capital should be given the status of central Jam‘ah Masjid.  
     (d) The head of state should lead the Friday prayers and deliver the Friday sermon in the central Jami‘ah Mosque, the governors in the provinces and their administrators in the Jam‘iah Mosque of the administrative units.  
     (e)  Apart from this, Jum‘ah prayers must not be held in any other mosque.  
     (f)  The Government will supervise the mosques.  
     (g) Every scholar should be given the freedom to hold religious gatherings to make his point of view known to others.  
     9. Proportionate representation should be adopted during elections so that, instead of individuals, the whole party should present itself for leadership. Then these parties, on the basis of the trust placed by the people in them, should nominate such people in the Parliament as are distinguished from others in their knowledge, moral character and competence.  
     10. In the assembly of the parliament the nominees should refrain from taking sides with their party on all matters. Instead a tradition should be set up in which they should always be encouraged to back the truth and they should never be forced to follow any path which is against their conscience.  
     11. After the general elections, the transfer of power should be deferred for at least six months. During this period, all the members of the parliament should be given a rigorous political training just as the Civil Services’ nominees are given a ten month administrative training, before they are entrusted with the affairs of the state.  
     12. The present judicial and executive system should be uprooted and replaced by the system of Judiciary and Executive in which the country is divided into small administrative units and all the problems of the common man are handled by them. In this way, the existing hierarchy in the system of government would be abolished and the units would directly be connected to the Centre.  
     13. To counter the atrocities of the administration at the local level, every province and district should have an appointed ombudsman invested with the necessary powers.  
     14. If the citizens of an Islamic State refrain from what is prohibited, establish regular prayers and pay Zakah then it is their right that:  
     Their rights should be safeguarded at all costs and they should not be compelled to put their lives in danger even for a very noble cause.  
     Their rightfully owned wealth and property should be protected.  
     No tax other than Zakah should be imposed on them.  
     Their honour and integrity should be given protection against any form of oppression.  
     Even in extraordinary circumstances, their personal freedom should not be curtailed totally or partially, until, after an open court hearing, a court pronounces a verdict after they have been given a chance to plead.  
     They should not be forced to adopt any particular thought, opinion, view, occupation, dress or attitude.  
     No restriction should be imposed on them as regards forming an opinion as well as its presentation wherever and whenever they like.  

     No responsibility should be imposed on them against their wishes.  
     Similarly, according to the words, ‘they are your brethren in religion’ of verse eleven of Surah Tawbah quoted above, it is their right that:  
     Every citizen, rich or poor, high or low, strong or weak, ruler or ruled should be considered equal in the eyes of the law and no discrimination in this regard should be tolerated.  
     The state must grant each citizen the same social status irrespective of his colour, creed and rank which are given importance only in ‘uncivilised’ societies.  
     The state must provide food, clothing, shelter, education, health facilities and all such basic necessities to every needy citizen.  
     The doors of the ul al-Amar (those in authority) must always remain open without any restriction on the general public so that at any time and place they are able to reach them to present their grievances and petitions, and are also able to criticise them and to freely call them to account.  
        They should be provided unbiased justice in all circumstances.  
        These are the rights of a citizen. Parallel to these, according to the same words ‘they are your brethren in religion’ of verse eleven of Surah Tawbah, there are some duties also which are imposed on the Muslim citizens of an Islamic State.  
        15. In the same way, those non-Muslims who become citizens of this state on account of a pact should be dealt according to the conditions set in it. The state must not deviate in any manner whatsoever and should follow their implications in letter and spirit.
