Ideology refers to a system of ideas and ideals that form the basis of a socio-political or economic theory. In the context of Pakistan Studies, it encompasses the fundamental beliefs shaping the nation’s identity and values.
The Quran, the holy book of Islam, serves as the primary source of Islamic ideology, providing guidance on moral, ethical, and legal principles.
The Sunnah, comprising the actions and sayings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), supplements the Quran, offering practical examples to understand and implement Islamic teachings.
Islamic ideology also draws from the rich tapestry of traditions and cultural values embedded in the history of Muslim societies.
The ideology of a nation, particularly in the case of Pakistan, serves as a unifying force, shaping its identity, fostering a sense of belonging, and guiding socio-political development. It provides a moral compass for individuals and a foundation for the nation’s progress.
