At the moment the only thing we can say is that whenever today's Muslims thought will be free from rituals shackle, the first task worth completing for the ummah will be to critically examine the traditions, Messenger Muhammad peace be upon him biography, history and Quranic exegesis and fiqh in the light of Quranic teachings. All the material which is in accordance with the Quran should be accepted and that which is against the teachings of the Quran should be discarded. Then within the framework of the Quranic laws, principles and guidelines, the ummah should by mutual consultation, reconstruct the shariah according to the needs and demands of modern time. Only at such a time will the state truly be called an Islamic state and its laws the laws of shariah. Such a task can only be performed by a great revolutionary, who in the words of Dr. Iqbal approaches the problem in the spirit of Caliph Omar, the first critical and independent mind in Islam who at the last moments of the Messenger Muhammad peace be upon him had the moral courage to utter these remarkable words, ‘The Book of God is sufficient for us.’
