Definition
- The basic assumption of Islamic political thought is that the believers' primary objective is being able to lead a life in accordance with Ibada and Hisba—that is, adhering to the Quranic injunctions to do service in the name of God and to do good and prohibit evil. The Quranic injunctions are embodied in the Sharia, which is law comprising rulings in the Quran (God's word) and Hadith (narratives of Prophet Muhammad's sayings and doings and, for the Shia, the narratives of their twelve Imams also).
