This lesson opens Chapter 1: Islam and Pakistan. We start with the idea of an ideology.
Then we see its sources and the Two-Nation Theory.
Ideology, sources, Two-Nation Theory.
The book says an ideology is a code of conduct or a programme. It is built on thought and philosophy.
When an ideology becomes the common goal of a nation, a system of life grows from it. It covers beliefs and the purpose of life.
The book calls Islamic society special. It stands on universal truths taken from the Quran and the Sunnah.
The source of any ideology is the basic teaching of its people. For Islam the source is the Shariah. The Shariah rests on the Quran and the Sunnah.
The Quran is the base of Islam. It guides political, social and economic laws. It shows the right path and the purpose of life. The book calls it an eternal constitution of life.
The Prophet ﷺ explained the commands of Islam by his words and actions. The Sunnah gives the detail of the Quran's teaching.
The book says Sunnah is an Arabic word. It means a path that is followed. It names prayer, fasting, zakat, Hajj and Jihad as matters where the Quran gives the base and the Sunnah gives the detail.
The book says many nations lived in the subcontinent. Hindus and Muslims were the two big ones. Each had its own religious, political, social and economic values.
The book credits Sir Syed Ahmad Khan with starting the demand for separate electorates. The aim was a Muslim voice in the assembly and in law-making.
Did you know? The book says Sir Syed first promoted Hindu-Muslim unity. After the Urdu-Hindi controversy in Banaras in 1867 he became a supporter of the Two-Nation Theory.
The book then gives a timeline. 1906: the Simla Deputation. 1909: an Act accepted separate electorates. 1930: the Allahabad address of Iqbal رحمۃ اللہ علیہ. 1940: the Resolution. 1947: Pakistan.
Think: what effect did the Two-Nation Theory have on the partition of 1947? The book asks this as a critical thinking question.
