Substantially, his basic ideas are acceptable, for example his thought of goals and functions of state establishment. However, his view that only men are eligible to be amîr (leader) is difficult to accept for public today. Al-Maududi is one of Muslim scholars who persevers in establishing an Islamic state based on al-Qur'an and Hadist. Basically, al-Maududi agrees of any state form. However, he emphasizes the significance of theo-democracy state model as a characteristic of an Islamic state that is different from republic system that applies democracy in the West."indWith permission of the license/copyright holderAl-MaududiPolitical ThoughtAmirIslamic StateTheo-DemocracyPakistanPolitical ethicsEthics of lawRights based legal ethicsCultural ethicsSecularisation and ethicsReligious ethicsSpirituality and ethicsMethods of ethicsGeneral and historicalTheological ethicsPhilosophical ethicsJournal volume
