Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad on Islamic Governance and Rule

Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad discusses the neglected issue of how Islamic politics operate, traditional Islamic governance, Muslim constitutions, the history and responsibilities of Muslim governments, critiquing modern Islamist imitation of the nation-state in regards to legislative power. He touches on construction of mosques in traditional Muslim societies and churches by the European government and how Islamic governments did not interfere with people's lives and respected individual privacy.

This is a very good summary of contrasting the pre-modern Islamic political order to a modern (secular) political order.
