خلافتِ عمرؓ میں شورائیت اور اس کے اثرات (تجزیاتی مطالعہ)

Abstract

This research delves into the comprehensive exploration of "Shura-e-at," elucidating its conceptual framework, significance, importance, and fundamental characteristics. It examines the historical context of "Shura-e-at" during the caliphate of Hazrat Umar, documenting his adoption and implementation of this consultative process in governance. The study scrutinizes the impact of Shura's decisions on the governance structure of Hazrat Umar's caliphate. Addressing contemporary critiques and concerns surrounding "Shura-e-at," the research evaluates the inclusion of women and non-Muslims in the consultative process, aligning their representation with Shariah principles and juristic opinions prevalent during Umar's Caliphate. The research categorizes Hazrat Umar's decisions into three types and constructs chapters corresponding to them: legislative, administrative, and judicial. After mentioning all these decisions, their impacts are also elucidated. Following the clarification of Hazrat Umar's decision-making process, a comparison is drawn between his consultation method and modern Western democracy, shedding light on the similarities, disparities, and potential areas of convergence between these two governance models.
