How Pakistan & nationalists lie to people about being a Shariah country? How to fix this system, In-fact replace this system?
You all have probably heard of the usual lollypop they give us that no law in the Pakistani constitution which will be enacted against the Quran &

Sunna. It is a really smart move from the State, elites & nationalist, to fool people until they start studying about Sharia Governance, modern nation State, modern revisionism, history of the Muslim nation states & its elites, & the fact that even in the West, liberalism &

secularism primarily emerged & dominated the scene, with the help of modern revisionism of religious texts, under the pretext of modern nation State, not complete abolishment of religion.

These modernists & liberals have their modern and liberal conception of the Quran & Sunna to begin with. To help you understand better, let’s just say they believe in Ghamidī type Islam or even worse. In-fact, a prominent scholar, Mufti Saeed Khan says that in the past,

Ghamidī himself served as Islamic scholar for Pak State alongside his fellows who share same thought, for the purpose of State policy. Our government & institutions are filled with Quranists, Reductio-Sunna, Hadith rejectors & liberal revisionists.

Laws are enacted only in the way that they conform to modern revisionists understanding of the Quran & Sunna, after-all that’s still not the violation of the Quran & Sunna rather it’s only the violation of the traditional & classical Fiqh & Aqidha.

In matters of child custody, tho fathers can win it, yet divorced mothers are favored a-lot more than them. In-fact in classical Fiqh, he shouldn’t even fight for it.

Recently, the elites have also been pushing for the legalization of Transgenderism but so far the legal reaction from defenders of Islam is strong.
All these laws are illegal in Islam. These are the perks of modern State where religious moral & legal forces are separated.

The only proper fix to this loophole that allows people to twist & mess with Shari‘a at their will — a special attribute of modern State & one of the reasons why Shari‘a can’t be properly implemented in this model — is to abolish all sorts of constitutions

& give the legal & moral authority in the hands of the traditional & classical Islamic scholarship as Pakistani Philosopher & Economist Dr. J. A. Ansari points out in his Ghazalian paradigm, although in a different context but still relevant to our discussion.

The intellectual level of current traditional Fuqaha shall be raised to be like those of past, then proceed to be made Qazis. This is the model of actual Shariah Governance & in this way, all doors to the modern revisionism & anti-Islamic laws will be shut down completely.
