Political System in Suadi Arabia

By Abdullah Al-Turaiqi

More than 1400 years have passed since the revelation of Islam, during which it has established a magnificent civilization that for many years brought happiness to mankind. For a number of reasons however, this civilization has seemingly dwindled. Some seem to think it has perished, died, and become a never to be repeated relic of history; they consider the natural alternative and successor to this to be Western civilization, with its materialist global ideology. However, this is a fallacy as the fact remains that Islam has maintained all its pillars and therefore remains, theoretically, robust and dynamic enough to contend with and relate to reality. The Saudi state, established in the mid 12th Hijri century and continuing till the present day, is an extant proof of this. This state has maintained its pillars and principles whilst concurrently deploying all measures and processes relevant to contemporary civilization. We present this model to the reader not as a nostalgiclink to history, but rather because its origins and principles stem from the timeless Islamic shari'ah, whose relevance never depletes. As Leopold Weiss (Muhammad Asad (d. 1992)), said: "The rules of this shari'ah were formulated in a way that no rule would contradict with the original nature of man and the significant requirements of human community at all places and times."1 It is a model that is built upon this classic and enduring system and which adds to that a unique variety of contemporary modernity that influences and interacts with reality and benefits from all that is modern, positive and beneficial, without adopting westernization or integration with the other.
