Al-Banna

Many people object if Islam is assumed not to regulate politics. They argue that Islam is not merely “divine teaching” which does not touch real life of human. Islam as a religion is comprehensive regulating all human’s matters, from waking up until going to bed again. Since Islam regulates everything –according to this totalistic approach upon Islam—hence, politic is included. Therefore, a slogan developed –especially among the Muslim revivalists—that “Islam is religion and state” (al-islâm din wa daulah).
