Abstract
This article elicits some positive and normative bases of Islamic
governance. It argues that the Islamic state should be a republic since
the prophet was “selected be God and the four rightly-guided caliphs
were “elected”, thus a case is made for a republican spirit which should
be integral to any just state. Also, the article argues that there should be
a division of power, not only between government and judiciary, but
also, between the government and the religious establishment. Lastly, it
concludes with thirteen features deemed essential to the establishment
of an Islamic state.
