The first revelation from the Prophet (SAW) was received in 610 A.D. and after the migration to Madinah in 622 A.D., the state of Madinah was established. Thereafter, the four Muslim caliphates (Khilafah Rashida, Khilafah Banu Umayyad, Khilafah Banu Abbas and Khilafah Banu Uthman) formulated a global system of welfare for all humanity without distinction of colour, race, religion or creed for about twelve centuries. At the same time, this global system based on the state authority of the religion of Islam is falling prey to global imperialist and tyrannical conspiracies. Now, what will be the form of national and international state domination of the religion of Islam? Attempts have been made to trace the views of two eminent thinkers, Maulana Obaidullah Sindhi (1872-1944) and Allama Dr Muhammad Iqbal (1877-1938).
