| Title | Islamic Constitutionalism and the Challenges Facing the Muslim World |
| Summary | This paper will analyze the efforts geared towards Islamic constitutionalism by Pakistan, Iran and Malaysia in a comparative perspective. This paper aims to identify the problems these countries faced as a consequence of introducing Islamic reforms. This paper will focus on a textual analysis of the relevant constitutional provisions and see how various SGC in these constitutions aim to induce Islamic character into the constitutional framework. It will make use of different cases and issues in these three jurisdictions to show how and why insertions of Islamic provisions into these constitutions have proved to be problematic. The goal is to understand the historical and social experiences of these three jurisdictions that led to development of their Islamic identity. The last chapter will also look at the theoretical foundations of Islamic Constitutionalism and come up with guidelines that will be useful to help the project of reconciliation of the Islam and the modern day constitutional principles, in an efficient manner. |
