The Islamic Welfare State
Author: Christopher CandlandPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1009268430
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 355
Book Description
The Islamic Welfare State explains the relationship between lived Islam, everyday human security, and government legitimacy in an Islamic society. Readers see the frequent abuse of Islamic injunctions by government and political parties. But readers also see the essential humanitarian spirit that makes Islam a compelling, community-strengthening faith. Readers appreciate how the humanitarian moral sentiments of Islam both provides everyday human security to millions of people and challenges legitimacy of government by allowing government to focus on protecting Islam rather than providing for the citizenry. The focus is on ground realities, on social welfare workers, and their beneficiaries, mostly patients and students from low-income families, their activities and experiences. The attention to affective politics permits the reader to understand politics and political change in Pakistan and elsewhere in the Muslim world.

Book Description
The natural worth of anything consists in its fitness to supply the necessities and serve the conveniences of human needs. Welfare state always strives to put in place the necessary impetus that will ensure the material and spiritual well being of people in its domain. Islamic Welfare State (IWS) shapes the social, economic, cultural and political engagements as a complementary whole guided by the basic principles (Sharia), to establish a society where justice, equity and economic prosperity are prominent, as well as rape the benefits of this life and the next. This paper seeks to examine the interrelationship between the political and economic contents of the Islamic way of life and discusses the nature and functions of the Islamic State toward peoples' well being in the light of basic imperatives (principles) within the framework of financial constraints.

A Social Revolution
Author: Kevan HarrisPublisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520280814
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 330
Book Description
For decades, political observers and pundits have characterized the Islamic Republic of Iran as an ideologically rigid state on the verge of collapse, exclusively connected to a narrow social base. In A Social Revolution, Kevan Harris convincingly demonstrates how they are wrong. Previous studies ignore the forceful consequences of three decades of social change following the 1979 revolution. Today, more people in the country are connected to welfare and social policy institutions than to any other form of state organization. In fact, much of Iran’s current political turbulence is the result of the success of these social welfare programs, which have created newly educated and mobilized social classes advocating for change. Based on extensive fieldwork conducted in Iran between 2006 and 2011, Harris shows how the revolutionary regime endured though the expansion of health, education, and aid programs that have both embedded the state in everyday life and empowered its challengers. This first serious book on the social policies of the Islamic Republic of Iran opens a new line of inquiry into the study of welfare states in countries where they are often overlooked or ignored.
