Jinnah and the Islamic State
Posted: Mon Nov 09, 2009 6:41 am
M.A. Jinnah, Founding Father of Pakistan, said:
"In Islam, the ultimate obedience belongs to God alone. The only way to follow His Guidance is the Holy Qur'an. Islam does not preach obedience to a king, parliament, person or any institution. The Islamic government means Rule of the Qur'an. And how can you establish Rule of the Qur'an without an independent state? In this state, legislation will take place in the boundaries drawn by the Qur'an."
