Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah presented the clearest possible vision of a true Islamic State in 1941.
"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 or a parliament, person or any other 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."
Muhammad Ali Jinnah's interview to the Student Union of Osmania
University in Hyderabad, Deccan, 19 August 1941, as reported by Orient
Press.
Reproduced in Urdu in Roznama (Daily) Inqalab, January 1942.
