Abstract:
Allama Shabbir Ahmad Usmani played an important role in shaping the political and ideological foundations of Pakistan. As a prominent Islamic scholar and political leader, he actively supported the Pakistan Movement and emphasized the significance of Islamic principles in the establishment and governance of Pakistan. His political thought was based on the idea that Pakistan should be a state where Islamic teachings could guide constitutional and political affairs. This study examines Allama Shabbir Ahmad Usmani’s contribution to the development of modern political thought in Pakistan and critically analyzes his views on Islamic governance, democracy, sovereignty, and the relationship between religion and the state. It also explores his role in promoting the Islamic identity of Pakistan and his contribution to the constitutional debates following independence. Furthermore, the study evaluates the significance and limitations of his political ideas in the context of Pakistan’s political and constitutional development. The research aims to provide a balanced understanding of his political philosophy and its lasting relevance to the ideological and political history of Pakistan.
