The governance has nothing to do with the matters
pertaining to religion and ethics. The governance is
comprehensive and composite, encompasses the entire life
of the individual members of the society and is never
accountable to anyone for its functions and decisions. It
engrails its power from the geographical boundaries for
its nationalism.

These are, in brief, the salient features of the modern
system of governance. But from the Quran's point of view,
this all is basically wrong. The Quran develops its
foundation on the concept of ideology, which is the other
name of Deen ,system of life and  Iman, acceptance. The
State developed on this concept is called the Quranic
State, which encompasses two groups of people:

(i) the group whose members believe in the Quranic concept
of Ideology and

(ii) the group whose members do not believe in this
Ideology. The members of the first group run the
administration of this State and also look after the human
rights of the second group so that the members of this
group are not deprived of any human right. The concept of
Ideology makes it clear that the System of Governance is
not all-powerful; it operates only within the limitations
of the Ideology. It cannot function beyond these
sanctions. These are permanent and the system is not
empowered to cross them, neither  longitudinal, nor
latitudinal. This concept of Ideology basically transforms
the idea of nationalism as false and farce. Now the
foundation of the nationalism rests on boundary walls of
the ideology and never on the geographical boundaries on
which the country is founded, and never on color, creed,
language or caste of its people. Thus living in the same
country without believing in its ideology, do not make
them the members of that nation, and on the contrary, not
living in that country, but believing in this ideology
makes them the members of that nation. Beyond any shadow
of doubt it can be said that it is based on: Laa Elaa ha -
Illa Ullaho - Muhammad-urr-Rasool Ullah

This is nothing but Kalema, the theory of life, or the
concept of life. In the present day terminology, it is
called Ideology.
