    The Qur'an Laws cannot be implemented until majority of Sunnis and Shias accept that their hadiths books can override the words of Allah Taala. There is no country laws are build on laws of Qur'an does not mean that the system given in Qur'an can't be implemented.

      You are repeating yourself. I already know this. Im asking you, HOW will a country be run under a Quranic system? You said

      Qur'an gives us the system all we have to define how we are going to select the head of state. Consitution is very easy to write according to what we have according to the message.

      Ok.. Go ahead. Me and stillearning have been waiting for someone to come up with an answer to that exact question. You seem to know it, so why dont you tell us? unless ofcourse you get shy or tounge tied.

      Qur'an command us to implement the Laws of Allah Taala when he grants us the power on the piece of land.

      And in conjunction with how we will select a head of state and write constitution, also explain how laws will be implemented.

            Stillearning has been asking this question. Why dont you be a good little boy and answer him exactly how easy it is to run a country using the laws given in the Quran?

            Seems like you have figured it out. Why dont you humble us and tell us EXACTLY how we will do that?

            I was beginning to question my own sanity. Thank you I think that summarises it neatly.

              Thank you.

              Jaxal I already give you the reply. You don't read.

              The social system given in Qur'an and the Laws are very simple to implement. There is no complication the problem is at present time majority of people are Sunnis and Shias who believe in the Sharia which is based on hearsay. Sunnis have four different Sharia and Shias may have more than one Sharia Laws.

              Again repeating myself. We can't implement the Qur'an Laws until majority of Sunnis Shias accept that Qur'an Laws cannot be superceeded by man written books.

                Oh Jaxal you don't seem to get it do you? Quran is IMMUTABLE DIVINE LAW like lashing for adultery. This law can't be changed by humans! Do you not see this? But in DEMOCRACY laws can be changed.

                What is that you want to do? Ignore IMMUTABLE DIVINE LAW? or are you saying that THESE LAWS ARE NOT IMMUTABLE IN THE FIRST PLACE? If this is the case then quran is irrelvant to how we govern our societies and make laws since it can have no effect in this process...

                  Jaxal I already give you the reply. You don't read.

                  No KGB, so far you have just said that its easy to do this and its easy to do that and how we can do this and how we can do that. Im asking you HOW will it be done. NOT HOW EASYILY OR IF it can be done.

                  Oh Jaxal you don't seem to get it do you? Quran is IMMUTABLE DIVINE LAW like lashing for adultery. This law can't be changed by humans! Do you not see this? But in DEMOCRACY laws can be changed.

                  Even the Quran says not to push your religion on others. And you want to push the punishment of Quran on another? Comon LT. Where is the sense in that? But that is not in question here. Im asking you a simple question

                  If i ask you to run a country, will you look at the Quran for a 'How to' ?

                  That shouldnt be so hard to answer ... should it? old chap?

                        LT, it is JUST a question. Answer it if you can.

                        If i ask you to run a country, will you look at the Quran for a 'How to' ?

                        KGB, you sound like mquran when he is out of breath after a long humiliating argument. That is ok. I will break it down for you so that YOU can understand.

                        The social system given in Qur'an and the Laws are very simple to implement.

                        If they are SO easy, tell us how it will be done.

                        Qur'an gives us the system all we have to define how we are going to select the head of state. Consitution is very easy to write according to what we have according to the message.

                        And how EXACTLY will we do this looking at the Quran?

                        Qur'an command us to implement the Laws of Allah Taala when he grants us the power on the piece of land.

                        HOW will we implement these laws.

                        You seem to have figured it out. Me and stillearning have been waiting for this. So take your time in posting the theory, method and implementation. No rush.

                              HOW will we implement these laws.

                              The text hilighted in red big fonts is the reply to all your Hows .....We can't implement the Qur'an Laws until majority of Sunnis Shias accept that Qur'an Laws cannot be superceeded by man written books. This simply means not possible at present time.

                              I never discuss any issue for wining a debate. The purpose is just to say what is according to the book.

                                  You tell me why it will not work. The system did work at the time of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and 300 more years after Prophet's death where laws the system was pure Quranic according to the laws of Allah.

                                  The system is very much practical to succeed at present time. So please don't start arguing about the time period.

                                  Layth has written Constitution according to Qur'an? There are many more scholars who had done this in the past including G. A. Pervaiz.

                                  Refer to Qur'an about the social and econmic system.

                                      I really don't know what exactly you want to hear. The establishing Allah Taala laws within a country surely will not be done by democratic one person on vote sytem. The head of the setup the constituational committee consists of Qur'an scholars. They will draft the constition. This committee will selection the Shura by consultation.

                                      I can give you the detail system design if you bear the cost which will be substential because I have spend lots of my time on it.

                                        What i want to hear is simple. Looking at the Quran, how do you select the constitutional comittee. Since you want to use the Quran to impletement the system. Show me the verses and the procedure you will use to implement this sytem.

                                          Dear brother you have to read Qur'an for the verses. I can give it to you but it is good you read and understand yourself.
